General Information #
Title: Give your attachment file a name that will be displayed on the product page.

File #
You have two options to add the attachment file:
- File (Type): Click “Add file” to upload your attachment from your computer.
Notes: Your acceptable file formats are based on your Shopify plan.
If you’re on a trial plan, then you can upload only the following file formats:
– Image: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and HEIC
– Others: PDF, CSV, JS, CSS, and JSON
If you want to upload other file formats, then consider updating your plan or using links instead (check the second method for more details).If you’re on a paid plan, then you can upload any file format other than HTML. The maximum file size for all files is 20MB. For photos, the largest resolution you may submit is 20 mega pixels at 72dpi. If you need to resize your photos, utilize the Shopify’s Simple Image Resizer.
- Link (Type): Alternatively, you can add a link to your file by entering the URL. E.g.: https.//www.example.com/

Icon (Optional) #
Adding icons helps visually represent your attachment files and improves storefront aesthetics.
Notes: There are two ways to use icons:
- Custom Icons: Upload an icon while creating an attachment for a unique visual representation.
- Shared Icons: Upload an icon on the Icons page for files with similar extensions (e.g.: .pdf). It will automatically be assigned to relevant attachments.

Sort order (Optional) #
If you add multiple attachments to a product, you can control their display order.
Notes: The lowest sort order is shown at the top of the attachment list, either to the left (horizontal list) or at the top (vertical list) on the product page. The lower the number, the higher the attachment appears on the list.
After customizing your attachment details, product assignment, icon, and display order, don’t forget to save your settings.
