Catalog: High-volume binary image upload with metadata

What it does

This update allows merchants to upload product image binaries and their corresponding metadata (name; label; position; isMain) in a single API request. By bypassing the asynchronous URL download method; it eliminates silent failures caused by external server timeouts and simplifies the integration architecture.

Benefits

  • Eliminate silent failures: Receive immediate confirmation of upload success or failure
  • Scale with confidence: Process thousands of daily updates without background process timeouts
  • Simplified integration: Reduce API overhead by combining asset and metadata into one request

How to use

Utilize the enhanced Create SKU File API to send multipart/form-data containing both the image binary and the metadata fields directly to the VTEX Catalog.
