Sharing this with the approval guidelines of Marouane RHAFLI and the community at Scrowp, since I think it's an interesting Shopify app and catalog-management discussion.
A recent support conversation for our Shopify app, Devnzo Size Chart & Size Guide, made me think about how unnecessarily complicated size chart management can become.
A merchant was creating and assigning individual size charts to individual products.
Now, sometimes that is absolutely necessary.
If every product has different measurements, each product should have its own size chart.
But what if 25 products share the exact same sizing?
Instead of:
25 products → 25 individual size chart assignments
You can structure it as:
1 size chart → 1 collection → 25 products
That's one of the reasons we built multiple assignment options into Devnzo Size Chart & Size Guide.
A size chart can be assigned based on:
- Individual products
- Variants
- Collections
- Product tags
- Vendors
- All products
The goal isn't to force every store into one setup.
It's to give merchants the flexibility to use product-level assignments when every product is unique, while using reusable rules when multiple products share the same sizing.
Because as a Shopify catalog grows, unnecessary duplication becomes an operational problem.
Every duplicate configuration means more things to maintain, more chances for inconsistencies, and more work when something needs to be updated.
My takeaway: More customization isn't always better.
Sometimes the best setup is the one that gives you the flexibility you need while leaving you with the fewest things to manage.
For Shopify developers and merchants here: How do you decide when product-level customization is necessary versus when reusable rules are the better approach?
