Step 1: Log in to Magento’s Backend

  1. Open your browser and go to your admin panel.
    Example: mywebsite.co.uk/cssadmin

  2. Enter your provided username and password.

Step 2: Navigate to Categories

  1. In the left-hand menu, go to Catalogue > Categories.

  2. Select the parent category you want to enhance (e.g., Laundry).

    For example, if “Laundry” has child categories such as Washing Machines, Washer Dryers, and Tumble Dryers, you can assign images to each child category.

Step 3: Add an Image

  1. With your chosen category selected, expand the Content section.

  2. Locate the image box. You can either:

    • Click the box and upload an image from your local computer, or

    • Drag and drop the image file directly onto the box.

Image guidelines:

  • Use square images for the best results.

  • Recommended maximum size: 300 × 300 pixels.

  • Format: JPG or PNG.
