AI product photos and your photo style

For every product the AI makes website photos from the one you send. You decide what they look like.

Updated 13 November 2026

Showcase and catalogue photos

The showcase photo puts your product in a real-life setting, like a table by a window. The catalogue photo shows it on its own on a plain background, so all your products look like a set.

The AI always keeps your product exactly as it is: the photo style only sets the scene around it.

Look at every photo. The AI can get things wrong, like a colour or a size. Ask for new photos when one isn't right.

Photos for each new product

Choose which photos each new product gets:

  • Catalogue photo only: one clean photo on a plain background. Quickest and cheapest.
  • Showcase + catalogue: a styled photo in a real-life setting, plus the clean catalogue photo.
  • Showcase + 2 catalogue: adds a second catalogue photo from another angle.

Extra photos can always be added later, by WhatsApp or under Products.

Redo the photos

Not happy with a photo? Ask for new ones, and say how you'd like them:

On WhatsApp

Redo the photos of the lavender candle on a wooden table

Open WhatsApp

Your direction, like “on a wooden table”, is for the showcase photo. The catalogue photo always follows your shop's catalogue style, so your products stay a set.

In your back office, open the product and choose which photos to make again: the showcase, the catalogue photo or both.

Your photo style

Set the look you want for new photos once, in your own words, like you'd brief a photographer: “bright and outdoors”, or “on old wooden boards with dried flowers”.

On WhatsApp

Make my showcase photos bright and outdoors

Open WhatsApp

The catalogue photo has its own style: the background every product gets. Want to see a style first? “Try the style on a product” makes a new showcase photo for one product.

Photos on your home page

Choose which photo each product shows on your home page, and under “More from …” on its page: the clean catalogue photo, neat and even, or the styled showcase photo. Products without a showcase show their catalogue photo.

What photos cost in AI credit

Every photo the AI makes uses a little of your AI credit, a few rand at most. Photos you add “as is” are free, and so is everything the AI does while you set up your first product.

Send “credit” to see what's left and what it was used for.

Questions

Will the AI change my product?

No. It keeps your product exactly as it is and only changes the setting around it. If a photo shows something that isn't right, ask for new ones, or add your own photo “as is”.
