## Syncing images

{% hint style="info" %}
We suggest using our [Shopify Template Pack](https://www.whalesync.com/template-packs/shopify) which has the correct tables/fields pre-created
{% endhint %}

**TL;DR**

* In order to sync product images, you'll need to create a Media table that is separate from your Products table
* You can then link a Product to Media using a linked record (aka foreign key) field

**Detailed Explanation**

1. In Airtable (or your other connected app), create a table called "Media"
2. In the Media table, include at least two fields: 1) Shopify Product ID 2) Image
