Setting up a Size Chart on Your Store

Are you looking to provide your customers with a convenient and informative size chart? Follow this step-by-step tutorial to set up a size chart page on your store. By providing accurate sizing information, you can enhance the shopping experience for your customers and reduce return rates. Let's get started!

1. Creating the Size Chart Page

The first step is to create a dedicated page for your size chart. To do this, navigate to your Shopify dashboard and click on "Online Store" followed by "Pages." If you haven't created any pages yet, click on the "Add page" button to create your first page. Give it a suitable name, such as "Size Chart."

2. Adding Information to the Size Chart Page

Now it's time to add information to your size chart page. You have three options: inserting an image, inserting a table, or typing out the information. For clarity and visual appeal, inserting an image is recommended. Click on "Insert image" and select the image you want to use for your size chart. Add a descriptive alt text, such as "Size Chart - [Your Store Name]." Adding alt text can improve your SEO ranking and accessibility.

3. Adjusting Image Size

The recommended image size for a size chart is generally a square shape. However, if your image is not a square, Shopify may recommend using the "Large" size, which can result in a distorted image. To avoid this, you can double click on the image and manually adjust the size to match your original dimensions. This will maintain the clarity and visual appeal of your size chart.

4. Customizing the Theme

Now that your size chart page is created, it's time to integrate it into your store's theme. Access the theme section by clicking on "Customize theme." If you are using a different theme than Symmetry, the process may vary slightly, but the general steps will remain the same.

5. Finding the Size Chart Option

Within the theme settings, locate the option for the size chart. It is usually found under the "Products" section. If you can't find it here, check the "Sections" area for the "Product Pages" section. Once you find it, click on it to access the settings.

6. Enabling the Size Chart Link

By default, the size chart link will not appear until you enable it. In the size chart settings, choose the option to "Enable Size Chart." Next, specify the exact name of the size chart section where you want the link to appear. Note that capitalization matters for this setting to work correctly. For example, entering "size" will not show the link, but entering "Size" will.

7. Selecting the Size Chart Page

Now, you need to select the page where your size chart is located. Choose the "Select page" option and find your "Size Chart" page from the list. Select it and save your changes. You may need to refresh the page to see the updated link.

8. Modifying Image Size

If you want to further fine-tune the image size, you can go back to the size chart page you created and adjust the image dimensions. Simply click on the image, grab the corner, and resize it according to your preference. Save the changes and go back to the customize theme section to see the updated image size.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully set up a size chart on your store. By following these steps, you have provided your customers with valuable sizing information, improving their shopping experience and reducing returns. Remember to regularly review and update your size chart as necessary to ensure accuracy. Happy selling!
