Notes
Step 1 — Install an app. From the Shopify App Store, install a size recommender (for example, Tailor Size Guide). Approve the permissions; the app embeds itself in your theme automatically, so you don't touch Liquid.
Step 2 — Add measurements. A recommender is only as good as its data. Enter the actual garment measurements (chest, waist, length, etc.) for each product or category. Many apps let you import a CSV or reuse a template across similar products.
Step 3 — Configure the questions. Choose what to ask the shopper — usually height, weight, body shape, and fit preference (tight / regular / relaxed). Fewer questions means higher completion; 3–4 is the sweet spot.
Step 4 — Place the button. Enable the "Find my size" or "What's my size?" button near the variant selector on the product page. On most apps this is a single toggle in the theme editor.
Step 5 — Test and publish. Run through the flow on a phone, confirm the recommendation reads clearly, then publish. Check back in a few weeks: a good recommender should lower your wrong-size return rate.
FAQs
Do I need to edit theme code to add a size recommender?
No. Modern size recommender apps embed through the Shopify theme editor and app blocks, so you add the 'Find my size' button with a toggle — no Liquid editing required.
How long does it take to set up a size recommender?
Around 15–20 minutes for a basic setup. Most of that time is entering accurate garment measurements, which directly determine how good the recommendations are.
What questions should a size recommender ask?
Keep it to 3–4: height, weight, body shape, and fit preference. That's enough to predict size accurately while keeping completion rates high.
What's the difference between a size recommender and a size chart?
A size chart shows a table the shopper interprets themselves. A size recommender asks a few questions and returns one recommended size, which removes guesswork and reduces wrong-size returns.
