Incorrect Product Image in the Hoops Managed Catalog

Found a wrong product image? Here’s why it happens and how to fix it fast.

Why is the image wrong?

Hoops uses a shared product catalog that is connected to supplier data. This means:

  • The same product data (including images) is used across many Hoops customers

  • Images are supplied by the manufacturer or supplier

  • We do not manually manage or override every image in the catalog

With such a large dataset, occasional image mismatches can happen, especially when:

  • A supplier has not provided a correct image

  • New colors or products are added without full image sets

  • The supplier image naming or structure is inconsistent


Can I fix the image in the catalog?

No — catalog images cannot be edited directly.

This is intentional because the catalog is shared across all users, and allowing edits would create inconsistencies and data conflicts.


What should I do instead?

You can quickly fix the issue where it matters most - your customer-facing documents.

Recommended approach

Upload your own image when creating:

This allows you to:

  • Show the correct product image to your customer

  • Maintain control over your presentation

  • Avoid delays waiting on supplier data updates

In most cases, this is the fastest and most reliable solution.


Why does this happen with some suppliers?

Some suppliers may:

  • Only provide back images for certain colors

  • Delay uploading images for new product variants

  • Have inconsistencies in how images are structured

If a correct front image doesn’t exist in the supplier data, it means:

  • Hoops cannot automatically display it

  • There is nothing to “fix” at the source yet


Will Hoops fix the catalog image?

Where possible, yes - but with some limitations:

  • If the supplier updates their data, the image will update in Hoops

  • If the supplier does not provide the correct image, we cannot create one

  • We may raise recurring issues with suppliers, but we do not manually override catalog images


When should I contact support?

You’re always welcome to report issues, especially if:

  • It appears to be a data mismatch rather than a supplier limitation

  • The issue is impacting multiple products

We’ll review and escalate where appropriate.


Key takeaway

The catalog is designed for scale and consistency, not perfection.

When an image isn’t right, the best approach is to override it in your SalesDocs or SalesPresentations, ensuring your customer sees exactly what they need — without slowing down your workflow.
