What infographics are for

Some shoppers swipe through images instead of reading text. An infographic turns a key fact, such as battery life, materials, size or compatibility, into something seen at a glance. Choose the facts shoppers most need to decide, drawn from reviews, questions and return reasons.

Common infographic types

One idea per image

An image crowded with eight callouts communicates nothing at phone size. Give each infographic one job: features, or size, or how it works. A clear set of focused images beats one dense chart.

Legible on a phone

Use large, bold type, few words and strong contrast between text and background. Icons help, but label them; abstract icons alone can confuse. Preview every image at phone size before uploading.

Infographic checks

Supportable claims

Figures like '24-hour battery', 'waterproof' or 'BPA-free' must be accurate and evidenced. Avoid vague superlatives such as 'best quality', and do not use certification marks the product does not hold. Claims on images are claims in advertising, and should meet the same standards.

Honest dimensions

Show measurements clearly with units, and use scale references that are genuinely the size shown. Size misunderstandings are a common reason for returns. Include weight where it matters, such as luggage or tools.

A consistent style

Use the same fonts, colours, icon style and layout across all infographics for a product and your range, matching your A+ content and Store. Keep a short style sheet for new products.

Placement

Infographics go in secondary image slots; the main image must stay product-only on white. Put the most important infographic early in the sequence.

Where to find the right facts

Customer reviews reveal what buyers liked and what surprised them. Questions on the listing show what they could not find. Return reasons show what was misunderstood. Your customer service inbox shows recurring confusion. Together these point to the facts that deserve an infographic, which are often different from the features the product team is proudest of.

Order in the sequence

Put the infographic answering the biggest doubt early, straight after the main image, so shoppers who only swipe a couple of images still see it. Keep detailed specifications for later images and the bullets.

Plain language

Use words shoppers use, not internal product terms. 'Fits 15-inch laptops' is clearer than a model code, and a familiar comparison helps more than a technical measurement on its own.

Updating infographics

When a product changes, such as a new battery, material or size, update every infographic that mentions it. Keep source files and a list of which images state which facts, so nothing outdated stays live.
