Configure the size chart for specific category products in WooCommerce

In this guide, you’ll learn how to assign a size chart to one or more WooCommerce categories.

The Advanced Product Size Charts for WooCommerce plugin allows you to assign a size chart not only to individual products but also to entire product categories.

This is extremely useful when:

• All products in a category follow the same sizing system
• You want to save time by assigning size charts in bulk
• You want consistent size guide behavior across a category
• You want to avoid manually updating individual products

Create a new size chart

To get started:

1. Go to WordPress Dashboard
2. Navigate to Product Size Chart → Size Charts
3. Click on the size chart you want to configure, either a default template or a custom size chart

This opens the size chart settings panel.

Locate the “Assign Category” Section

On the right sidebar of the size chart editor, you will see the Assign Category panel.

This panel allows you to assign the chart to specific WooCommerce product categories.

Select Product Categories

In the Assign Category section:

1. Click the dropdown or checkbox area
2. A list of all WooCommerce product categories will appear
3. Select one or multiple categories where this size chart should be displayed

Example Use Cases:

✔ Clothing Store

Assign the “Shirt Size Chart” to:

• Men’s Shirts
• Women’s Tops

✔ Footwear Store

Assign the “Shoe Size Chart” to:

• Men’s Footwear
• Women’s Footwear

✔ Kids Store

Assign the “Age vs Height Size Chart” to:

• Kids Clothing

You can assign as many categories as you want.

How Category-Based Display Works

Here’s what happens after the assignment:

✔ Customer views a product

The plugin checks the category of that product.

✔ If the product belongs to a selected category

The size chart will automatically display on the product page.

✔ If the product does not belong to the category

The size chart will not appear.

This keeps your store clean, accurate, and organized.

Benefits of Category-Based Size Charts

Assigning size charts by categories helps you:

1. Save Time

Assign once → applies to entire category.

2. Maintain Consistency

All similar products share the same measurement guide.

3. Reduce Manual Work

No need to set size charts product-by-product.

4. Improve Customer Experience

Shoppers instantly see accurate sizing based on product type.

5. Support Scalable Stores

If you add new products to the category later → the size chart applies automatically.

Conclusion

Configuring size charts for specific product categories is one of the most powerful features of the Size Chart plugin.

Whether you manage a clothing store, footwear store, kidswear brand, or multi-category shop, this automation saves time and ensures accurate sizing for your customers.

With just a few clicks, your size charts will automatically apply to all products within your chosen categories.
