Once the module is installed, each product page receives a new field, where customers can upload their own product photos.

If configured, guest users will be required to specify their e-mail address to be able to upload photos.

If a registered user tries to upload an image as a guest, but specifies his registered e-mail, the system will recognize him and will record this image into his registered account.

All uploaded images can be viewed and administered through the admin panel under the Customers – Uploaded Images section.

Manage uploaded images.

Once an image is approved by the admin, it immediately appears on the frontend.

Click on the image and it will be opened in FancyBox popup.
