Creating Custom Image Upload Plugin - Nopcommerce 4.6

Hello Nopcommerce Community,

My goal is to create a plugin that enables users to upload images directly into the database and associate them with specific categories, product types, and user roles. I have examined existing stock plugins like NivoSlider for reference, but I am struggling to determine the most effective programmatic approach for implementing image uploads within a custom plugin.

Your expertise and insights would be invaluable to me as I navigate this development process. Any advice, code snippets, or resources you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

What "users" will do the image upload - customers or administrators?

Clarify " associate them with ... user roles. "

Most probably administrators as well as custom customer roles.
