Hi there @amauryt 👋
I have activated the catalog mode of the plugin, but the default image for the products are the variable images.
Thanks for reaching out. Happy to help you with this!
To help you further, I’d like to understand more about your setup.
Could you please send me a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select Get system report and then Copy for support.
Once you’ve done that, you can paste the text in https://gist.github.com/, or https://pastebin.com/, and feel free to change/remove your site URL in the report for privacy reasons.
You can paste the Gist/Pastebin link here in your reply, once you have that.
Cheers!

hello @anastas10s,
thank you for your reply, but I don’t get why my woocommerce status will help you with my question.
either what I ask is supported by your plugin, either it isn’t.
In each product -> variations -> Facebook settings, we can choose 1) to use the variable image, 2) to use the main image or 3) to use a custom image.
I would like to use the main image for all the products and all their variations, and I would like a ‘global’ settings to do that to not have to choose this for all of them. I have lots of products and lots of variation on each one.
hope it’s clearer. 🙂
thanks in advance for your time.

Hi @amauryt,
I understand your goal is to default all variable product images to the main image.
Typically, Facebook for WooCommerce will set the main image as the variations image when images aren’t assigned to the variations. If you’ve assigned variation images, then you should consider setting a custom image for Facebook.
You can use the core CSV importer/exporter to export your products and assign the Facebook custom image URL in bulk, then import the products to your store. It’ll just be a matter of copying the main image URL and pasting in the Meta: fb_product_image column. (I recommend assigning the custom image URL directly to one product on your site and using that column as a guide for other products).
While there’s currently no global setting for your goal, we are always looking for suggestions and ideas on how our products can be improved. If you are willing to share your thoughts, please submit your ideas to our Ideas Board. Our developers use this to help them decide on which features to build next.
Thank you!
As a follow-up to my previous reply, you can set the Facebook product image source column Meta:_wc_facebook_product_image_source to parent_product
That’ll ensure the main image URL is used on Facebook. That way, you don’t have to manually specify the image URL. That’ll be similar to selecting this: https://d.pr/i/kVPRHE
(my recommendation is to set that on one variation directly on the site and use that column as a guide)

Hello, Thank you for your reply.
I can’t use the solution you are proposing because my products are linked to a printing partner and doing so, this link would be lost.
Isn’t it a snippet to do that?
Thank you again, and have a great day

I’m afraid we do not have a code snippet for this. Typically, this should be possible using the product CSV importer/exporter but your unique use case doesn’t allow you to use that.
I’ll leave this thread open, hopefully, someone in the community can look into the required code snippet for you. (We generally do not provide support for custom codes)
