Real photos, not stock

Replace stock photos with the car on your lot

Stock images and “photos coming soon” placeholders fill the gap until someone photographs the car, and too often the gap never closes. Inventory Photos lets you shoot the real vehicle and decide exactly how your photos and the DMS photos combine in every feed.

  • Uploads replace DMS photos car by car
  • Or put yours first and keep the rest
  • Nothing changes for cars you haven’t shot

Choose how photos combine

Point Inventory Photos at the photo column in your export, then pick one rule for the dealership.

  • Uploads replace source photos: a vehicle with uploads uses only those; the rest keep their DMS photos
  • Uploads first: your photos lead, followed by the DMS photos
  • Source first: the DMS photos lead, followed by yours
  • Uploads only: ignore the DMS photos entirely

Work through the lot at your own pace

Because vehicles you haven’t photographed keep their existing photos, you can start today and cover the lot over a week without any listing going blank. The “Needs photos” list and coverage bar show how far you’ve got, and photo_source in each feed tells you whether a vehicle’s photos are uploaded, from the DMS or mixed.

Keep the DMS as it is

Nothing is written back to your DMS or inventory tool. MiFeed combines the photos when it builds each feed, so you can change the rule, or turn the add-on off, and your feeds follow straight away.

The photo fields every feed can use

No, unless you choose “Uploads only”. With the default rule a vehicle keeps its DMS photos until you upload its own.
