How to Add a Size Guide to a Product

· 4 min read

Size guides in Vendroad are created once and then reused across as many products as you like, so you don't have to rebuild a sizing table for every dress or t-shirt you list.

Step 1: Create a size guide

Where to create a size guide: products > size guide tab

  1. Go to Products, then click the Size guides tab.
  2. Click Create Size Guide.
  3. In the modal:
  • Guide name: an internal label only for you to know which category of label this is for, e.g. "Shirt size chart." Customers never see this name.
  • Size guide: build the actual content customers will see, using the editor toolbar. Use the table icon to insert a sizing table — pick how many rows and columns you need (e.g. a Size × Chest/Waist/Length grid).
  • Existing chart: If you already have an existing size guide chart image, use the image icon to upload a size chart photo instead of (or alongside) a table.

4. Click Save. Note: You can't save an empty guide. Vendroad requires actual text, a table, or an image before it'll let you save.

Step 2: Attach the guide to a product

  1. Open a product — either while creating a new one or editing an existing one.
  2. Scroll to the Product size guide section (only shows up if you've created at least one guide).
  3. Click the guide you want to use. Clicking it again deselects it. You can only attach one guide per product.
  4. Save the product as usual.

Selecting a guide here automatically makes it visible on that product's page — there's no separate visibility toggle to remember.

What customers see

On the product page, a Size guide link appears next to the product info. Clicking it opens your guide's content in a popup, without leaving the page.

Managing guides later

Back on Products > Size guides, each guide in the list shows how many products use it, plus Edit and Delete links. Editing updates it everywhere it's attached; deleting removes it from every product using it.

Assigning a guide to multiple products

If you already have multiple existing products and you want to bulk assign a guide to them. Go to products. Select all the products you wish to assign. You will see the size guide option. Choose a guide, and it will automatically be assigned to those products.

Tip: if you sell several similar product types (e.g. T-shirts vs. hoodies) with different sizing, create a separate guide for each rather than trying to cram both into one table.
