The Missing Image Settings section of your Shopify theme is designed to ensure that your store remains visually consistent even when some images are missing. These settings allow you to define fallback options, so your customers always see a complete and professional presentation.
Product
Responsible for handling cases where product images are unavailable. You have options to either display a fallback image or show a custom text message.
- Missing Image Text: Enter the text that will be displayed when a product image is missing. This can be a short message like "Image not available" to inform customers of the missing content.
- Default Image to Display: Choose an image that will be used as a fallback when a product image is missing. If no image is chosen, the text set in the "Missing Image Text" setting will be displayed instead.
- Gift Card Fallback Image: Select a fallback image specifically for gift card products if their image is missing. If no image is chosen, the default gift card vector will be rendered.
Collection
Handles cases where collection images are missing. Similar to the product category, you can choose to display a fallback image or show a custom text message.
- Missing Image Text: Enter the text that will be displayed when a collection image is missing. This ensures customers are informed about the missing content without disrupting the visual flow.
- Default Image to Display: Choose an image that will be used as a fallback when a collection image is missing. If no image is chosen, the text set in the "Missing Image Text" setting will be displayed instead. This setting is crucial for maintaining the visual integrity of categories when their images are not available.
By configuring the Missing Image Settings, you ensure that your store remains visually appealing and informative, even when some images are missing. These settings help maintain a consistent and professional appearance across your store, enhancing the overall shopping experience for your customers.
