Children's products with the exception of the following categories: strollers, diapers, car seats, erector sets, model trains, tricycles, bicycles, and cribs.

In addition, the image is mandatory for categories without product profiles.

If an offer in these categories has no image, it will not be published on Yandex.Market until at least one image has been entered in the picture element.

Multiple images

You can specify up to 10 links to product images for each offer. The first image is considered to be the default image. It is used as the product image that is displayed in Yandex.Market search results and on the offer page. The customers can view other product images in the enlarged image viewing mode.

To specify multiple links to images:

  • YML format: pass each link in a separate element picture. Example:

    <picture>http://best.seller.ru/img/device12346-front.jpg</picture>
<picture>http://best.seller.ru/img/device12346-back.jpg</picture>

  • CSV format: enter comma-separated links. Example:

    http://best.seller.ru/img/device12346-front.jpg,http://best.seller.ru/img/device12346-back.jpg
