Can customers search my file names?

I understand that potential customers can use any images that I've associated with products. However, I'm going to have hundreds of images. Accordingly, I'd like to list the file names of all images on my website to help people assemble the pieces on Zazzle's website. Are visitors able to search my images by file name?

Thanks.

Generally no.  But I guess you could tag a product with a file name... and that might make it findable via search.  You'd want to test that.  But in theory it could work...  but it may just muck up search in general depending on how you title your images...

Have you looked into creating an API on your website?  This link should work to bring you to the general page.  https://www.zazzle.com/my/associate/create  There is a link for documentation that might be helpful.  And this might be helpful too: https://www.zazzle.com/api

Correct me if I'm wrong but it kinda sounds like you may still have an incorrect idea of how customers can use your images. They will only have the ability to transfer the design images from a single product to another product on Zazzle. They can't take images from more than one of your products and combine them to make another product. They don't have access to your image files or folders and they can't take your images and make copies of them or use them anywhere else. Hope that helps clear things up a bit.

They can't assemble the pieces on Zazzle. They can only transfer a design from product A to product B. They don't need file names. They need a link that will take them from your website to your Zazzle store(s).
