Adding post thumbnail (or featured image) support to Shopp means products can now have a new representative image that is completely independent of the product gallery. One simple use case for this is using a thumbnail on the category pages and maintaining a completely different set of gallery images on the product page. Post thumbnails are regular images uploaded using WordPress’s media tools – just as you would expect! – they can be used from any theme template, not unlike regular post thumbs. You are not limited in how you use these new images – a range of filters are built in to Shopp Featured Images to afford further control. Originated from “Featured Images for Shopp” plugin by Barry Hughes and Chris Jumonville.
