Adding an external image URL to a packing slip

Hi @RobertMc, 

Thank you so much for being a part of our community and for reaching out to us. 

Have you attempted to host the image on a third party like the following site? 

https://imgbb.com/

If you haven't can you try to host the image here and use the image URL without the resizer url?

Is there a way to have a dynamic link for the image in the packing slip?

If I have 50 images named XXXX.jpg where XXX is the buyer id, can we do something like (using the example in the OP)  <img src="http://src.shipstation.com/150/60/http://images.shipstation.com/[buyer id]" />

That way I don't have to create 50 custom packing slip for each image. And it will scale up as it grows? Thanks!

Got it working. HTTPS doesn't seem to work so you need to remove the S from your custom image url.

For anyone looking in the future, if your external image link has "https" try removing the "s". This is mentioned in the SS documentation here: https://help.shipstation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045435292-How-do-I-add-product-images-to-packing-slips-

It does not seem to like the security or something with google drive.  It is time consuming to manage another image site not to mention issues such as keeping all images to the same rev level.

None of the suggested fixes for this issue have worked for me. I'm hosting on a site that others have recommended in various posts on this topic (imgbb), I've reduced the file size down to just 30kb, I've tried using http instead of https—still, I just get a white box. Anyone else solved this using a method different from the above? I've tried support but am just waiting on an escalation but am under a deadline to get this working. Any advice appreciated!

Update: The *only* way I was able to get an image to appear was to prepend the Shipstation image resizer URL to the source URL for the image, i.e. <img src="http://src.shipstation.com/[resized width in numerals]/[resized height in numerals]/[your http:// image address here]"/>.

For example, this worked: <img src="http://src.shipstation.com/150/150/http://imgbb.com/-----" />

but this did not: <img src="http://imgbb.com/-----" />.

Seems kind of bananas, but whatever gets the job done. Hopefully this tip is useful to someone else in the future! Definitely was banging my head against the wall for an hour. Thanks to the OP for mentioning this. Luckily I didn't have the blurry/skewed problem they described.

I've struggled with this a bit, even going to far as to setting up my own image server.  

The best (current) way I'm solving this problem is using Imgur.com .  Note that I do not need to eliminate the "s" in "https" to achieve this.

It seems that the key is the image server needs to be optimized to return images as fast as possible.

Hi can someone guide us how we can add an image to all our email templates not the brand logo i can seem to find any option to do so 

Thank you in advance
