Product Images & Descriptions

Great images and clear descriptions help customers understand what they are renting and make confident booking decisions. Everything you add here appears on your public booking widget.

Adding Images​

During product creation​

  1. In the product wizard, navigate to Step 1: Product Details.
  2. Click the image upload area or drag and drop image files into it.
  3. You can upload up to 5 images. Supported formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, SVG, and WebP. Maximum file size is 500 kB per image.
  4. Recommended image size is 500 px x 500 px.

On an existing product​

Photos are managed inline on the Details tab of the product detail page:

  1. Go to Rentals > Products and click the product name.
  2. The Details tab opens by default. Scroll to the Photos card on the left column.
  3. The Photos card shows up to five image slots. Click an empty slot to add a photo, or click the X in the corner of an existing photo to remove it.
  4. The Default badge marks the main photo customers see in product listings.

The Details tab on the product detail page with the Photos card highlighted, showing the 5-slot grid, the Behaviors card with toggles, and the Tracking card.

Default Image​

The first image you upload is used as the main photo shown in product listings and search results. It is the first thing customers see. To change the main image, drop your preferred image into the first slot of the Photos card.

Removing Images​

  1. Hover over the image you want to remove on the Photos card.
  2. Click the X icon in the corner of the image.
  3. The image will be removed immediately.

Writing a Brief Description​

The Brief description is a short summary (like a tagline) that appears alongside the product image in listings. It is limited to 100 words. Keep it concise and descriptive.

The brief description lives in the Description card on the Details tab of the product detail page. Click Edit in the top-right of the card to open the inline editor, then click the green AI Generate button if you want EquipDash to draft a brief description from the product name and details.

Good examples:

  • "Professional-grade mountain bike for all trail levels"
  • "Full wetsuit with thermal lining, available in all sizes"
  • "Compact camping stove, perfect for backcountry trips"

The Details tab with the Description card highlighted, showing the Brief and Full description fields with an inline Edit link.

Writing a Full Description​

The Full description is the detailed product information that appears on the individual product page in the widget. Use this space to tell customers everything they need to know.

The full description lives in the same Description card on the Details tab. Click Edit to open the inline rich text editor, or click the green AI Generate button to have EquipDash write one for you.

The description editor supports the following formatting options:

  • Normal style dropdown (for paragraph styling)
  • Bold, Italic, and Underline
  • Links
  • Bullet lists and numbered lists
  • Clear formatting

Tips for effective descriptions​

  • Lead with benefits -- Tell customers what the product will do for them, not just what it is.
  • Include specifications -- Mention relevant details like dimensions, weight, materials, or what is included.
  • Set expectations -- Note any requirements, like needing a car rack for a kayak or experience level recommendations.
  • Keep it scannable -- Use short paragraphs and bullet points so customers can quickly find what they need.

How It Looks on the Widget​

Once saved, your images and descriptions appear on the booking widget where customers browse your products. The default image shows in the product grid, and clicking into a product reveals all images in a gallery along with the full brief and description.
