It's possible to upload multimedia files including images, HTML, and other types of media to the File Manager in the Web Hosting portion of a Merchant Solutions account. Merchant Solutions merchants can upload files to the Store Files. Store v.1 merchants can upload files to the Files area in the Store Editor.
Upload a file to your Files area (Store v.1 only)
- Sign in to your My Services page.
- Click the Store link.
- Go to the Store Editor.
- Click the Files button on the Advanced Editing Toolbar.
- Click the Upload button that appears on your Files page.
- Enter the full file name (including drive letter) of the file you wish to upload in the appropriate input box, or use the Browse button to search for the file on your computer.
- In the second input box on the Upload page, enter a name for the file you're uploading as you want the file name to appear on our servers. The file name you choose should begin and end with a letter or number. You can also use periods (.) and hyphens (-) within the file name you choose.
You should also be sure to include the proper file-type extension (such as .jpg for a JPEG image file) in the file name you create so that browser software will know what type of file it is.
Note: If you attempt to upload a file and give it a file name that contains any characters other than letters, numbers, periods, or hyphens, the file will upload, but it will not appear in your Files area. If this happens, you'll need to upload the file again and assign it a file name that meets the requirements described above.
- Once you've indicated which file you wish to upload, and you've entered the proper file name, click the Send button to send the file. You should then see the file name appear as part of a URL on your Files page. You can use that URL to reference the file in any links you create within your store.
- You'll need to publish your store in the editor for any new files you've uploaded to be available through your published store.
