How to create a WooCommerce size guide?

Creating a WooCommerce product size guide or product size chart has always been a topic of concern. While the process is definitely important, store operators have always been skeptical about the need for one. However, owing to the fact that nearly 80% of the online returns are because of improper fit, WooCommerce owners now have realized the need to design a product-specific size chart and add it to their product page.

The WooCommerce advanced product size charts plugin helps you to level up your product page adding all of the relevant information. The plugin has built-in templates that can be used as the standard product size chart. You can also clone the size guide template and customize it to make it more product-specific.

Some of the features offered by the plugin include:

• Add one or more size chart to the same page.
• Customize the popup to help it stand out on the product page.
• Quickly assign a size chart as per the product or the category.
• Choose from a range of size table styles to enrich the store experience.
• Hide default size chart to display the custom one

• Create unlimited rows and columns to the size chart table.
• Add text/image to the size chart making it more descriptive.
