The Advanced Product Size Charts for WooCommerce plugin makes it easy to create clean, customized size charts and display them directly on the product page—helping your customers make confident purchase decisions and reducing return requests.

3. Add an optional Description or brand guidelines
4. Choose whether the size chart applies to a product category or a specific product

Step 3: Assign to a Specific Product or Category

The plugin allows you to assign a size chart to:

• A specific product

• Or use it globally

To assign the chart:

1. In the size chart editor, look for the Assign Chart To section

   Choose between:

   • Specific Products

This ensures customers see the right size chart for the right product type.

Where should the chart show up on the product page?

The plugin offers multiple display positions:

• Before the Add to Cart button
• After the Add to Cart button
• Inside Product Tabs
• As a pop-up link
• Custom placement using shortcode

To configure:

1. In the size chart settings, find the Chart Position dropdown
2. Select your preferred display location
3. Save your changes

Step 5: Add Chart Table

Now, create the actual size chart table that customers will use.

You can also reorder rows/columns, remove any unwanted data, and format your chart as required.

Step 6: Display Size Chart as a Link or Additional Tab

The plugin allows two useful display modes:

When clicked, the size chart opens in a pop-up.
