A pure white main image is required in Technology, Beauty, Health and Supermarket; elsewhere it is not, and the guide even advises against it. No text, logos or watermarks other than the product's own on any image; packaging from the second image on. No "Más vendido" or "MercadoLíder" badges. The image limit is per category, commonly 12.
