Theme

Tour Information: Photos

Please upload images that show your tour. For the page design, we recommend a minimum of five images. Once uploaded, you can 'Select as Cover' and add a description for users, this is especially helpful for Screen Readers.

Note: We recommend sizing appropriate to the screen size. For image sizes, aim for around:

  • Width -800pixels
  • Height -600pixels

After you have resized your images, you can compress them further. Here is a free image compressor, that will allow you to control the file size and quality.

When your tour has been completed, you will be able to refresh your product page on your Shopify default page to see the images and how they display.

Step 4: Choosing which tours to display in this store

In some cases, you might have one indie account to centralise tour bookings from multiple different Shopify stores.

In this case, a tour might be "Active" status (as it is active in "a" store), but in this store, the "Live in Store" toggle might be turned to "No" as the tour is "active" but not visible in this specific store!

Status denotes whether or not a tour is live within indie:
