This article gives an overview of the screens you'll use to manage your Shopify images and product listings.

Shopify Products (Web App)

After connecting Photoroom to your store, you will see the Products screen, also known as the Shopify Products catalog. This is a hub where you can see all of the products you have in your Shopify store.

Shopify sidebar on the web app

Note: You can also access the Shopify Products catalog by selecting Shopify Products in the sidebar.

Shopify Products displays all of the products in your store and they are shown in a grid. You can switch to a list view if you prefer. For each product, Photoroom shows the featured image.

From the Shopify Products screen, you can:

Shopify Products editor

Select a product in the grid to open the Shopify Products editor. This is where you edit images for a specific product. By default, the Shopify sidebar is shown.
