Alt and title texts are read by search engines and by nobody else — which is exactly why they are never filled in. On a catalog of a few thousand products, writing them by hand is not a task anyone finishes, and image search traffic is left on the table.
What it does
- Generates alt and title texts from templates with placeholders.
- Renames image files by template, so the file name carries meaning too.
- Separate template types for product, category and feature images.
- Overwrite everything with one application, or fill in only what is missing.
- Templates applied only to new images, if that is what you need.
- Configurable conditions for when a template applies.
- Automatic removal of extra spaces in the generated texts.
- Application on a schedule through cron, or manually.
- Different templates per storefront in the CS-Cart Ultimate edition.
- In Multi-Vendor, vendors can set their own templates for their images.
What it changes
Every image in the catalog gains a description a search engine can read, and the file names stop being IMG_0417.jpg. That is the whole of image SEO for a store — and it becomes a one-time setup rather than a permanent chore, because new products are covered by the same templates.
Support and updates
Templates, placeholders and conditions are covered in the documentation. Six months of free updates, questions through HelpDesk.
FAQ
Will it overwrite the alt texts I wrote by hand?
Only if you choose to: the settings allow keeping existing texts and filling in the missing ones instead.
Does it rename the files as well?
Yes, image file names can be generated from a template, with an option to apply it to new images only.
What about products added later?
A cron schedule applies the templates automatically, so new images do not stay empty.

CS-Cart development · in-house team · since 2013 We build, upgrade and speed up CS-Cart stores and marketplacesAnalysts, developers, designers, QA and support under one roof — no subcontractors. We ship add-ons you can buy on this page today, and we take on the work that no ready-made add-on covers. |

Two add-ons that change how a store performs
Everything else we publish improves one screen. These two change the numbers: how customers find products, and how often they come back.
|
Add-on · Search & merchandising Smart SearchElasticsearch-powered search for large catalogues. The customer types two letters, sees products with images and prices, and buys from the dropdown — even after a typo or with the wrong keyboard layout. Visitors who use the search bar are 24% of traffic and 44% of revenue, and convert about 2.5× better than people who only browse categories. If search returns nothing, up to 80% of them leave. | ||||||||
| ||||||||
Try it on a live catalogue: open the demo store and search with a deliberate typo. |
|
Add-on · Mobile commerce PowerApp — mobile app for your storeA native iOS and Android app running on your CS-Cart data: the same products, prices, stock, promotions, reward points and orders. There is no second catalogue to maintain — everything stays in the admin panel you already use. A mobile site brings a customer in once; an app brings them back for free. Push notifications replace the retargeting budget you spend to buy the same customer a second time. | ||||||||
| ||||||||
Screens, block types and pricing tiers: see how the app is built. |
Services
When no add-on solves it, we do the work
Fixed scope, written specification, a named project manager and a warranty on what we ship.
|
Custom CS-Cart development Functionality the platform does not have: add-ons, marketplace mechanics, integrations with 1C, CRM, ERP, payment and delivery providers. We start from a written specification, not from an estimate on a phone call. Details → |
|
CS-Cart upgrade Move to the current version without losing data, custom code or add-ons. We audit every modification first, upgrade on a staging copy, adapt what breaks and switch over with little or no downtime. Details → |
|
Speed and performance optimisation Conversion falls by about 4.4% for every extra second of load time. We profile the server, the database and the front-end, then fix what actually costs the seconds — and show you the before-and-after numbers. Details → |
|
Design for CS-Cart Mobile-first storefront design built on CS-Cart's own template structure, so the layout survives the next platform upgrade instead of becoming a migration problem. Details → |
|
SEO for CS-Cart A technical audit of indexing, duplicates, redirects, structured data and Core Web Vitals — delivered as a prioritised fix list your developers can act on, or that we implement ourselves. Details → |
How we work
What you get besides the code
|
Before we start We discuss the goal, offer options and write the specification. You approve scope and price before development begins. |
While we build A named project manager reports progress on a fixed schedule. You always know what is in work and what is next. |
|
Before release A separate QA pass on every release — the developer who wrote the code is not the person who signs it off. |
After handover Documentation for everything we ship, plus a warranty on the modifications and the project. |
Tell us what the store needs to doDescribe the task in a couple of sentences and we will come back with options, a scope and a price. The consultation is free, and we will say plainly if a ready-made add-on already solves it.
