Where do I add a size chart on Etsy?

Add size chart images to your listing photos (usually as the last image), include measurements in the product description, and use the 'Variations' feature to display size options. You can also add a FAQ section about sizing.

Should I include measurements in inches or centimeters?

Include both! Many Etsy sellers ship internationally. Use inches primarily for US buyers and include centimeters in parentheses. This prevents confusion and reduces sizing-related questions.

How detailed should my size chart be for handmade items?

Very detailed! Since handmade items vary, include all relevant measurements: bust, waist, hip, length, shoulder width, sleeve length, etc. Also note if items are made-to-measure or if custom sizing is available.

Why Size Charts Matter on Etsy

Etsy's case resolution often favors buyers in sizing disputes. Clear, accurate size charts are your best protection against returns and negative reviews. Plus, they boost conversion by giving buyers confidence.

📍 Where to Add Size Charts on Etsy

Listing Photos (Recommended)

Add size chart as one of your listing images (usually last). Make it visually appealing and match your brand style. This is the most visible location.

Product Description

Include measurements in text format too. This helps with search and is accessible to screen readers. Use clear formatting with bullet points.

Shop Policies/FAQ

Add a sizing section to your shop policies. Explain how you measure and what to do if unsure about size. This protects you in disputes.
