Central Management and Exclusion of Image Keywords in Shopware
Problem:
The Shopware Image Keyword Assistant generated irrelevant and misleading keywords for a product image. In this specific case, keywords such as “Kanalisation,” “Kanalschacht,” and “Loch” were detected or generated — likely based on a small detail within the image — and do not accurately represent the product. These terms are inappropriate and not acceptable from a merchant’s perspective.
Example of generated keywords:
“Loch, Abtropfen lassen, Kanalisation, Kanalschacht, Loch, Abtropfen lassen, Kanalisation, Kanalschacht, Bodenmatte, Gepäckmatte, Autoabdeckung, Kofferraummatte, Rutschfeste Matte, matte de, tappetino auto, sotto-pavimento?, antiscivolo, tappeto auto”
The terms “Kanalisation,” “Kanalschacht,” and “Loch” are clearly not relevant and do not meet expected quality standards.
Current Limitation:
At present, Shopware does not provide a way for merchants to centrally exclude or remove unwanted keywords. The only option is to manually edit keywords per media item in the media library. This becomes highly inefficient when the issue affects multiple assets (e.g., 50 images all containing the same incorrect keyword like “Kanalisation”).
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a centralized/global keyword management feature that allows merchants to:
- Define a list of excluded keywords (blacklist)
- Automatically prevent these keywords from being generated in the future
- Remove these keywords across all existing media assets in bulk
- Optionally trigger an update of affected metadata (e.g., alt texts) when keywords are removed
This would significantly improve efficiency, ensure higher data quality, and give merchants better control over automatically generated content.
