Product fields used from Front Systems
Availability depends on how your Front Systems catalog is configured. When a field exists, Train My Camera can use it in catalog browsing, recognition results, barcode display, or sync identity.
Product images and scan examples
Front Systems product images are used from the first available image URL. Additional image references are kept as metadata until multi-image sync is needed in the UI.
Manual example photos are protected
By default, photos added inside Train My Camera are preserved. Checkout-created examples can update when the provider image changes, while dead provider image URLs are reported as unavailable instead of retried forever.
Sync behavior
- Review the provider product list before changing the Train My Camera catalog.
- Choose all products, selected categories, or individual products.
- Save the selection and run a sync immediately.
- Turn on automatic sync so the saved selection is checked about every 30 minutes.
- Use checkout product images as example photos for visual recognition when the provider exposes useful images.
- Keep manually uploaded Train My Camera examples while refreshing examples that originally came from checkout images.
- Show progress for image preparation, failed retries, and provider images that are no longer available.
Common fields across providers

- Display price
- SKU where available
