You can enrich your items in Business Central with images, translated descriptions, and longer web texts so the products look right on your website. The image, translation, and extended text you add in Business Central appear directly on the connected website.
To add a product image, open the item card, go to the import tab, and drag a file directly onto the Choose button instead of clicking through the file browser. This lets you drag several files in quickly, especially if you work with two screens.
To translate a description, use the item translation function. A Danish customer then sees the Danish text on the website while an English customer sees the English version.
To add a longer description, use the master data information texts and select your web text. The extended text field accepts HTML, so you can format the content.
Add a product image to an item
Start by opening the item you want to work with. On the item card you can add an image that shows on the website. You can add multiple images, but one of them is the primary image.
Here is a useful trick for uploading. Go to the import tab. Instead of clicking the Choose button and finding the file in the browser, you can drag a file straight onto the Choose button and drop it there. The image uploads without you having to click through the file browser.
If you work with two screens, you can keep your files on one screen and Business Central on the other, then drag several files over one at a time. Once the image is uploaded, it shows on the website. Open the home page, click into the city bikes, and the image you just added appears on the product.
Translate the item description for different languages
You can translate the item description using the related item translation. Add the Danish text and the English text for the same item.
That way, when a Danish customer visits the website, the page shows the Danish description instead of the English one. An English customer sees the English description.
Add longer descriptions with web text and HTML
For longer product descriptions, use the master data information. Go to master data information texts and select your web text.
From here you can add a header and write the text. You can either use the standard text field or click extended text. The extended text field is HTML, so you can write and format all kinds of text. Save it when you are done.
The extended text then shows on the website. Go back to the product page, and you can see the extended text you just created.
