what exactly the utility of these additional images option...

Additional images provide different looks of the product. For example there could be some different colors for product and also you want the customer to check the front view , rear view etc. In AbleCommerce when you specify additional images for a product, a More Images link will be available on product details just under the basic picture of product.

I would like to use the first additional image as the product Image ..is it possible ??

Yes it is doable. You need to put some custom code and update the locations those are showing _Product.ImageUrl with _Product.Images[0].ImageUrl

can we display these images on catalog ??

If you want to show all aditional products on the ProductDetails page then please have a look at the following post

where it save in database and how we can retrieve from ?

The all images are stored under Website/Assets/ProductImages folder. The image information will be available to you via Product object. For example on Product Details page you can access these additional images

Code: Select all

_Product.Images[0].ImageUrl;
