    Hi there,

    There is no option to do so at the moment.
    Technically, you could filter the data when it’s fetched from the database (using mkl_product_configurator_get_front_end_data and replace the images URLs with the corresponding ones on S3, but not sure if that helps.

    so we can resuse the configurator easily

    Out of curiosity, can I ask how you would reuse the configurator, and why you would need to have the images on S3 for that?

    Marc.

    Thanks for the quick reply Marc,

    I will have our developer look into this.
    We are trying to build multiple websites for dealers who all sell the same product line.
    For instance a furniture dealer who sells desks from one manufacturer. We want to make it easy to update colours or styles each year and simply replace 1 image and not 200

    I see. That sounds like quite a project ??

    The limitation with hosting the images somewhere else, is that you won’t be able to use the feature that displays the combination of layers in the cart / checkout, as that requires local images. But that’s optional anyways.
