Size Guide

How to access on Fynd Platform

Introduction

Inevitably, you'll always find some variance in the sizing standards used by manufacturers. For e.g. a brand could be selling 'size 7' shoes, which might be 'size 8' for another brand. To avoid any inconvenience, a size guide becomes vital for customers to judge a product before purchasing.

Some popular examples:

  • US, UK, EU and AU sizes for shoes, shirts, trousers and other apparels.
  • Suitable size of backpacks, sports and game accessories for different age groups.

Figure 3: Fields In A Size Guide (cont.)

Let's understand all the fields shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3

  1. Name - Give a name to the size guide which will help you to identify it from the rest, for e.g. 'Newton Lifestyle's Size Chart'. The same name will be shown in the size guide drop-down box while adding it to the eligible products.
  2. Title - Give a title to the size guide to display to your users, for e.g. 'Backpack Size by Age'.
  3. Subtitle - Enter any extra information that is not part of 'Title', which will further assist the user, for e.g. 'Height, Width and Depth Included'.
  4. Brand - Since all brands use their own size guide, select the brand for which you're specifically creating this size guide. Note: You can select only one brand, for e.g. 'Newnor'.
  5. Centimetre/Inches Option - Select whether the product measurements which you are about to enter is in centimetres or inches. You also have the flexibility to enter the dimensions in a particular metric (e.g. inches) and then choosing centimetres to automatically convert your product size from inches to cm and vice versa.
note

There's a checkbox above each column. Select the checkbox if the column data is in cm or inch. In this example, the 1st column is 'Age Group' and hence the checkbox above it is not selected.

  1. Add Column - Use this option if you want to add an extra column (header) to your size guide.
  2. Rows and Columns - This is a table that contains rows (data) and columns (headers) for indicating different sizes of a product.
  3. Add Row - Use this option if you want to add an extra row (data) to your size guide.
