Shoppers hesitate to buy if they’re unsure about fit—and in eCommerce, that’s a big reason for returns. A clear, accessible size chart can dramatically improve customer confidence and reduce cart abandonment. On Shopify, adding a size guide is easy, whether you're using a free theme or customizing your product pages.
Why Size Guides Matter
From apparel to footwear, sizing varies across regions and brands. Including a visual chart or table helps buyers feel more certain and makes your store look more trustworthy.
Ways to Add Size Charts in Shopify
1. Use the Product Description
A quick solution is to paste a chart directly into your product description using Shopify's built-in editor. This works best if your sizing is standard across all products.
2. Create a Size Chart Page
If your store has different charts for different products (e.g., men’s vs women’s), create a separate “Size Guide” page under Online Store > Pages. Then link to it from your product pages.

3. Add a Popup or Tab
Apps like BEST Size Chart or Avada Size Chart let you add interactive, branded popups or accordion tabs. These can appear on each product page, helping maintain a clean layout while offering important info.
4. Custom Code (No App Needed)
For those with basic HTML knowledge, embed a custom size table below the “Add to Cart” button using Shopify’s theme editor and Liquid code. You can make it product-specific using metafields or conditions.
Best Practices
Keep it mobile-friendly and scannable.
Use visuals or illustrations if possible.
Include both metric and imperial units.
Update regularly as your sizing or offerings change.
Adding a well-placed size guide isn’t just a small tweak—it can boost conversions, lower returns, and enhance your store’s user experience.
