Why Show a Product Image Gallery?

A product image gallery is essential for any eCommerce store. It allows customers to view multiple images of your product from different angles, zoom in for details, and even see videos or 360° spins. Here’s why it matters:

✅ Boosts Trust & Confidence – High-quality images reduce buyer hesitation.

✅ Reduces Returns – Customers know exactly what they’re getting.

✅ Increases Conversions – More visuals = higher engagement & sales.

✅ Improves SEO – Image alt texts and structured data help in rankings.

📌 Pro Tip: Use lifestyle images, close-ups, and videos to showcase product features effectively.
