A practical studio workflow

Ecommerce Photo Delivery Manifest: Map Images to Listings

Deliver a manifest that maps each final photo to the intended product and use.

Start here

The practical answer

Deliver a manifest that maps each final photo to the intended product and use. The receiving team should not have to guess which hero image belongs to which listing.

A brand receives hundreds of retouched files from one shoot. Its ecommerce team needs a reliable connection between filenames, products and image order.

Put it into practice

A three-step working sequence

  1. 01

    Agree on naming and ordering before export

    Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.

  2. 02

    Check the manifest against the final folder

    Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.

  3. 03

    Ask the receiving team to test a small product set

    Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.

Worked handoff

A concrete example

Create one manifest row for each product image: product reference, final filename, intended order and crop. Have the ecommerce operator ingest a small batch before exporting the entire campaign in the same convention.

Keep the record

Your project worksheet

Product ID, filename, image order, intended placement, dimensions, approval.

Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Product fit

Where clientgallery.io fits

ClientGallery can organize proofs and collect image-specific client feedback. Keep product data, rights records and specialist color approval in the responsible systems. A gallery decision does not automatically certify a product claim or a reproduction standard.

Make the next step concrete

Test it with one real project.

Check the client handoff, then choose the plan that matches the work you need to deliver.
