Add 360 spins to products

Custom spin settings

Your spin will be the first image to show in the product gallery. To change this or to change the thumbnail icon, click "360 settings" tab. There are 12 icons to choose from (or design your own), which can be placed first, second or last in your gallery:

Choose 360 degree spin settings

We recommend placing the spin first because visitors instantly engage with spins. After viewing a 360 spin, shoppers have greater confidence in a product, they are more likely to purchase and less likely to return for a refund.

Custom folder structure

If you have a large number of spins, it may be faster to upload them directly to your Sirv account. Choose the "Custom" folder name, to choose your own folder path:

Choose 360 degree spin settings

To match each spin to a product, name your folders to match one of these Shopify values:

  • Product ID: {product-id}
  • Product name: {product-name}
  • Product SKU: {product-sku}

A typical folder structure would be:

products/{product-sku}/{product-sku}.spin

For example, if your product had an ID of 185202, the file path in your Sirv account would be:

products/185202/185202.spin

The first folder "products/" is optional. We recommend a master folder to keep your home folder orderly. After all, you might use Sirv for hosting many other images, videos and files in future. It's a powerful CDN for any static file, not only spins.

The .spin file will inherit its folder name, so just ensure the folder has the correct name.

The screenshot below shows where to find your product ID, SKU and name:
