For clothing, shoes and accessories stores, the size chart is one of the most important elements on the product page. It reduces hesitation and returns. WooCommerce has no size chart feature by default, so you need a plugin. Here is what to compare.
1. Assignment rules
You do not want to attach a chart to hundreds of products one by one. Look for assignment by category or tag, with the option to override on a single product.
2. Display: popup, tab or inline
A link next to the size selector that opens a popup is the most effective, because customers see it exactly when choosing. A product tab is a useful complement. Check that the popup works well on phones and closes easily.
3. Easy table editing
You should be able to create tables with rows and columns without writing HTML, and duplicate a chart to create a variant (women, men, kids).
4. Units
If you sell internationally, offer centimetres and inches, or a toggle between them.
5. Fit notes and measuring guide
A short “how to measure” text with an illustration, and fit notes such as “runs small”, reduce mistakes more than the table alone. See how a size guide reduces returns.
6. Theme compatibility
The link should appear in the right place on your theme’s product page, including with variable products and page builders.
7. Performance
The chart should load only on product pages that have one. Avoid plugins that add scripts to every page of the store.

Right next to the size selector, so customers see it when choosing.
