The following steps will show you an easy way of adding a size chart to your products using Shift4Shop's Product Extra Fields.
Adding the Size Chart to a Product
- Login into your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager
- Using the left hand navigation menu, go to Products >Product List
- Locate the product you'd like to edit and click on its thumbnail image or name to open it up
You will be taken to the product's Information Tab.
- Scroll down the page until you see the "Additional Information" section
Note
If the Additional Information section is not open, click on it to expand it.
You will see a series of fields labeled Field 1, Field 2, etc. These are the product's extra fields and they can be used to display additional pieces of information for the product. Fields 1 through 5 will display as simple bullet points on the product page, while Fields 6 through 13 will appear in tabs next to the product's descriptions and reviews. These tabbed fields are the fields we will use for this tutorial.
- Scroll to Field 6 and make sure the WYSIWYG mode is set to On
- Using the "Insert Table" function of the WYSIWYG tool, add a table to the field
- Create your sizing chart as needed and click Save at the top right of the page to complete the edit.
Tip
If you turn off WYSIWYG mode after creating your size chart, you will be presented with the HTML of the sizing chart you created. Copy and save this to a text file on your desktop so you can just paste it onto your other clothing items that use the same size chart.
Just remember to turn off WYSIWYG mode on the extra field for those other product when you paste the code in.
Renaming the Extra Field Tab
By default, the Fields on the product page are labeled "Feature:" on the store's product page. However, you can rename them to match your needs in the Store Language page.
While still in your Shift4Shop Online Store Manager:
- Go to Content >Site Content
- Once on the Site Content page, scroll down to the bottom and click "Edit" beneath "Store Language"
- Using the search bar at the top, search for "extrafield"
This will show all of the extra field labels.
- Locate the field you used for your Size Chart (extrafield6 in our example) and rename it to suit your needs.
(for example, "Size Chart")
- Click "Save" at the top right.
Your product now will have a size chart listed as a selectable tab next to its description.
Tip
In this tutorial we used Field 6, but fields 6 through 13 all have access to the WYSIWYG option and the ability to create a table as described here.
However, it is highly recommended that you use the same field for all of your products that use the Size Chart. This way you only need to change the store language label on one field and have them all globally say "Size Chart" or whatever you've chosen for your label.
