How to Add a Tag-Based Size Chart in WooCommerce

Using the Advanced Product Size Charts for WooCommerce plugin, you can assign a size chart to products based on product tags.

This is useful when products across different categories share the same sizing but are grouped using tags.

Introduction

Tag-based size chart assignment allows you to display a size chart on products that share specific product tags, regardless of their category.

This method gives you flexibility when:

• Products belong to multiple categories
• Categories are too broad for sizing rules
• Tags represent sizing logic (e.g., Slim Fit, Oversized, Kids, Unisex)

When to Use Tag-Based Size Charts

Use tag-based size charts when:

• Products with the same tag follow identical measurements
• You want to avoid duplicating category size charts
• You manage seasonal or collection-based sizing
• Products are organized more logically with tags than categories

Example:

• Tag: Oversized Fit → One size chart applied to all oversized products

Assign Size Chart to Tags

To apply the same size chart to  tags:

1. Select multiple tags in the Assign Tag section
   • Example: Men, Unisex, Winter Collection
2. Save the size chart

The chart will now appear on all products that use any of the selected tags.

How Tag-Based Assignment Works

• The plugin checks product tags first

• If a product matches an assigned tag, the size chart is displayed

  Products can inherit size charts from:

  • Tags
  • Categories
  • Product-level assignment

Priority Rule

Product-level assignment overrides:

1. Tag-based charts
2. Category-based charts

This ensures precise control.

Save and Preview Changes

After assigning tags:

1. Open a product that uses the selected tag(s)

2. Check the product page

   Confirm:

   • The size chart link or tab is visible
   • The correct chart is displayed
   • Styling and placement are correct

Conclusion

Tag-based size charts provide a flexible and efficient way to manage sizing across WooCommerce products. Instead of relying only on categories, you can use tags to group products logically and apply accurate size guides automatically.

This approach is ideal for complex stores with overlapping categories or collection-based sizing rules.
