Long Description
- The long description of your product is shown on the product page towards the bottom of the page, under the product’s image.
- Long product descriptions are reserved for more than a sentence, this is where you will place features and additional content about your product.
- Note: You may use images and videos to captivate customers within a long description. YouTube videos are automatically embedded when pasting a YouTube video link.
Short Description
- The short description of your product is displayed on the product page at the top of the page next to the add to cart button.
- Short product descriptions are useful for conveying quick information such as shipping times.
- To edit the short description edit any product and you will see a Short Description Field towards the bottom of the page.
- Note: We suggest avoiding using images and videos within the short description.
Image Recommendations
- When uploading an image, Chasi will compress and create various sizes to be viewed across multiple pages on your website.
- Photo optimization allows Chasi to load your website fast, as compressed file sizes are one of the leading factors of a fast-loading page.
- Even though this process is automated with Chasi, we recommend preparing your assets for the best possible optimization.
- We also have a feature called Instant Images which allows you to use stock photos from Unsplash, Openverse, Pixabay, & Pexels. It’s available in the media editor.
- For solid backgrounds, Export as .jpg at 80% quality. For transparent backgrounds, Export as a .png
- If designed in Photoshop or Illustrator, please export at three times the viewable size to reduce the chances of pixelations.
- Use tinypng.com to reduce the size of your image by more than 50% without losing quality.
- You can even download a TinyPNG app to speed up your workflow.
