PrestaShop Products Images Carousels in Google Search Images

I think you’re asking whether PrestaShop product images carousels (like the scrolling image gallery in search results) can appear in Google Search / Google Images for your products. Let me break it down clearly:


🔎 What Google Shows

  • Google sometimes shows image carousels (multiple swipable product images) in search results for e-commerce stores.
  • This is usually triggered when you use Product structured data (Schema.org) correctly.
  • For example, instead of just one"image": "url.jpg", you should provide an array of multiple images (or better, ImageObject with details).

✅ What to Do in PrestaShop

  1. Enable JSON-LD Schema for Products
    • PrestaShop by default does not add full product structured data with multiple images.
    • You need either:
      • A SEO / structured data module (like “SEO Expert” or “Advanced Rich Snippets”), or
      • Custom code in your theme (product.tpl) to inject schema.
  2. Add Multiple Images in Schema
    Example JSON-LD for a product in PrestaShop:

    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "Product",
      "name": "Nike Running Shoes",
      "image": [
        {
          "@type": "ImageObject",
          "url": "https://example.com/img/shoe1.jpg"
        },
        {
          "@type": "ImageObject",
          "url": "https://example.com/img/shoe2.jpg"
        },
        {
          "@type": "ImageObject",
          "url": "https://example.com/img/shoe3.jpg"
        }
      ],
      "description": "Lightweight running shoes for men.",
      "sku": "SHO123",
      "brand": {
        "@type": "Brand",
        "name": "Nike"
      },
      "offers": {
        "@type": "Offer",
        "priceCurrency": "INR",
        "price": "4999",
        "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock"
      }
    }
    

    👉 Here, multiple ImageObjects give Google the option to display product carousels.

  3. Make Sure Images Are Crawlable
    • Images must not be blocked in robots.txt.
    • Use clean URLs (avoid query strings if possible).
    • Ensure proper alt text in <img> tags (Google still looks at it).
  4. Test with Google Tools

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Even with a perfect schema, Google decides when to show carousels (not guaranteed).
  • Having multiple high-quality product images increases the chance.
  • Carousels usually appear for shopping-related searches where Google recognises multiple angles/images of a product.
