Product fields used from Zettle
Availability depends on how your Zettle 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
Zettle images can seed recognition examples. If Zettle later returns a 404 for an image URL, Train My Camera reports the product affected and keeps any existing example instead of deleting recognition data.
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.

Provider notes
- Zettle remains the source of truth for product names, prices, SKUs, barcodes, and categories.
- Duplicate product names are allowed because Train My Camera sync identity uses Zettle product and variant IDs.
- EAN-13, UPC-A, and QR display are useful barcode-output choices for many Zettle workflows.
Zettle integration FAQ
Does Train My Camera write changes back to Zettle?
No. The Zettle connector is read-only for product data. Product edits should be made in Zettle.
Will automatic sync pick up new Zettle images?
Yes, when automatic sync is enabled for a saved selection, new or changed Zettle primary image URLs are queued for background preparation. Unchanged image content is skipped.
