I have a running eCommerce site, but I’ve recently created new product imagery for the entire site. The new images are named identical to the old images, so would simply dumping them via FTP work? Could my customers still have old cached versions in their browser which don’t update to the newer models? I’m trying to avoid having to go through every single product and manually set the new images. I’m open to buying a plugin if there’s one that’ll help me with this.

Unfortunately, trying to pull a fast one on the WordPress media library with FTP won’t work. You’ll need to import them through the WP admin so they get added to the database, resized, and whatever other special sauce WP adds.
I’ve never used it, but this plugin sounds like it might be right up your alley.
