Customizing the media attached to your buy bot
A buy post carries either one fixed picture or a fresh pick from a linked gallery site on every buy.

Fixed vs random gallery image
The two modes
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed image (default) | Every buy carries the same image, GIF or video. |
| Random gallery image | Every buy carries a fresh picture from the bot's linked gallery site(s). |
Switch it in the dashboard's Layout settings (Fixed image / Random gallery image), applied on the next Save & Push.
Random mode draws from every image across the bot's linked gallery site(s). If no gallery picture is ready, the buy falls back to the fixed image, or to text alone — a buy is never dropped for a media failure.
Note
With random mode on but no gallery linked, the settings card reads
Buy media: random gallery image is on, but no gallery site is linked to this bot — the fixed <image/GIF/video> is used, or ends— posts go without mediawhen there's no fixed media either.
Random meme for buy bot media - How it works
In Telegram, setting new media while random mode is on — from the post-fork wizard's Edit Media, the settings card's Update Media, or /buybotimage — switches the bot back to fixed media. The bot asks first and writes nothing until you confirm.
The dashboard's own media upload does not ask
Uploading new media from the dashboard while random mode is on replaces the fixed media immediately, with no confirmation, and leaves random mode on — the new file only becomes the fallback. The upload doesn't wait for Save & Push.
