How to Disallow Users from Downloading Your Bigcommerce Store Images

Are you concerned about users stealing copyrighted images from your ecommerce site? If you use Bigcommerce, it’s actually very easy to prevent this from happening. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to prevent visitors from downloading images from your Bigcommerce website.

1. Site-wide: Go to Panels > HTMLHead.html, and place the following code inside the <head> tag. This will disable image downloads throughout your site:

1     <script type=”text/javascript”>
2     $(document).ready(function(){
3     $(“img”).bind(“contextmenu”, function(e){return false;});
4     $(“img”).mousedown(function(e){return false;});
5     });
6     </script>

2. Quick View: Go to Panels > QuickViewContent.html, and add the same code. It will disable image download options in the Quick View popup.

1     <script type=”text/javascript”>
2     $(document).ready(function(){
3     $(“img”).bind(“contextmenu”, function(e){return false;});
4     $(“img”).mousedown(function(e){return false;});
5     });
6     </script>

3. Product Page Image Popup: Go to productimage.html and locate this function: loadImageToContainer(). Add these two lines before the closing brace:

1     $(“.ProductZoomImage img”).bind(“contextmenu”, function(e){return false;});
2     $(“.ProductZoomImage img”).mousedown(function(e){return false;});

4. Add to Cart Popup: Go to Snippets > FastCartThickBoxContent.html, and add the following lines of code at the beginning (just before <div id=”fastCartContainer”>):

1     <script type=”text/javascript”>
2     $(document).ready(function(){
3     $(“img”).bind(“contextmenu”, function(e){return false;});
4     $(“img”).mousedown(function(e){return false;});
5     });
6     </script>
