Why a white background still sells more
Marketplaces reward it, buyers scan faster, and the product stops competing with its own kitchen table.

Almost every marketplace in Europe — eMAG, Allegro, Amazon, Bolt Food for prepared goods — either requires a plain background on the primary image or quietly ranks it higher. That is not an aesthetic preference. It is a scanning problem.
A shopper on a phone gives a result grid somewhere between two and five seconds. In that window they are not evaluating your product; they are eliminating options. Anything that adds visual noise — a countertop, a hand, a window reflection — costs you a fraction of a second, and a fraction of a second is the whole budget.
The counter-argument is real: a white cut-out tells the buyer nothing about scale or context. That is why the primary image and the gallery do different jobs. Lead with the clean frame so you survive the grid, then use images two through five for the lifestyle scene, the scale reference, the detail macro.
What we will not do is fake the label. If text printed on the product distorts when we correct the angle, we reshoot the angle or keep the original frame. A buyer who receives something that does not match the photo is a refund, a review, and a ranking penalty — which costs far more than the shot did.
