SHOPIFY: FIND YOUR FIT

Shopping online for clothes should feel exciting, but too often it ends with disappointment.

Imagine adding a dress to your cart, waiting days for delivery, and then realizing…it doesn’t fit.

This was the everyday reality for millions of shoppers.

Role :

Product Design, Wireframing, Prototyping, Usability Testing

Duration :

6 Months

July 2021 - December 2021

Team :

1 Product Designer (me),
1 Product Manager,
2 Developers, 1 Engineer

Tools :

Figma, FigJam, Sketch, Adobe XD, Shopify Polaris Design System

The Problem :

Sizing uncertainty is the biggest obstacle in online fashion. Millions of shoppers hesitate at checkout, forced to guess their size. This guesswork leads to a frustrating cycle of returns, costing retailers billions in lost revenue, shipping fees, and customer trust.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

How might we help shoppers confidently pick the right size, reduce returns, and improve the online fashion experience - without overwhelming them?

The SOLUTION :

I designed Find Your Fit, a Shopify plugin integrated directly into storefront product pages.

  • Intuitive input flow for shopper details (height, weight, age, body type).

  • AI-driven personalized recommendations based on brand-specific size charts + aggregated shopper data.

  • Clear, accessible UI copy that minimized confusion.

  • Visual hierarchy and design consistency aligned with Shopify Polaris system.

  • Seamless integration into retailer storefronts for effortless adoption.

The impact :

"We are already seeing a substantially higher conversion rate from our shoppers who use Pixibo's size recommendation service. In addition, and crucially for us, we are seeing a substantial reduction in size & fit related return rates when this Find Your Fit feature is been used."

Reduction in Returns

"We are excited to partner with Pixibo to bring a unique footwear recommendation solution for our shoppers across South East Asia. Pixibo's approach combines the best in digital footprint technology with a powerful recommendation engine to help every shopper find the right shoe across our Planet Sports stores and on PlanetSports.Asia."

"We are delighted to partner with Pixibo to power Zalora's size recommendations. There are many players in the size and fit space but the key for us was to find the most accurate solution which we defined as the solution that drives greatest reduction to our return rates. We ran a comprehensive test with multiple vendors and saw the greatest improvement in return rates on the Pixibo platform."

Emphathize :

I started by interviewing Shopify store owners and merchants who struggled with existing sizing tools, and by analyzing app reviews + support tickets. This uncovered both emotional pain points and usability flaws.

I paired this with a heuristic evaluation, which revealed:

  • Poor information architecture (users didn’t know where to start).

  • Missing system feedback (no progress indicators).

  • Tech-heavy language (scaring non-technical users).

Define :

From the insights, I created personas like Mallory who is a boutique owner juggling limited time and resources.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

How might we help shoppers confidently pick the right size - while making setup effortless for merchants?

Success Criteria

  • Reduce merchant setup time.

  • Improve shopper confidence at decision points.

  • Lower return rates by ~3–4%.

Ideate :

I brainstormed solutions with the team and mapped them against usability heuristics to ensure scalability + clarity.

Concepts ranged from AR try-ons to static improved charts.

Through co-design sessions with a PM and devs, we narrowed down to 4 scalable redesigns:

  • Dashboard – Central hub with onboarding + progress tracking.

  • Size Chart Builder – Step-by-step tool with templates + live previews.

  • Product Assignment – Bulk linking + smart filters.

  • Widget Configurator – No-code styling with live previews + mobile support.

Prototype :

I translated ideas into wireframes and interactive Figma prototypes.

  • Simplified overwhelming forms into step-by-step flows.

  • Added progress indicators + clear CTAs.

  • Matched Shopify’s UI patterns for familiarity.

Find Your Fit 2.0

While redesigning the Pixibo Shopify plugin, my core goal was to
reduce merchant confusion, improve efficiency, and build shopper trust by creating a setup experience that feels professional, intuitive, and error-free.

→ Introduced step indicators, progress tracking, and logical task sequences to align with user mental models.

Guided Flow

Visibility of system status & Match between system and real world

→ Applied Shopify Polaris design standards and a cohesive visual language to signal reliability and brand credibility.

Trust & Professionalism

Consistency and standards

→ Added bulk actions, clear status messages, and undo/redo safeguards to reduce mistakes and build confidence.

Error Prevention & Recovery

Error prevention & Help users recover from errors

→ Removed jargon, redundant actions, and clutter to keep merchants focused on essential tasks.

Clarity & Simplicity

Aesthetic and minimalist design

→ Replaced vague labels with descriptive text, previews, and visual cues so users don’t have to guess.

Recognition over Recall

Recognition rather than recall

Dashboard


✅ Clear value proposition explaining product benefits
✅ Visual three-step process with intuitive icons
Progress indicators showing completed steps
✅ Descriptive text clarifying each step’s purpose
Logical flow with arrow indicators between steps
✅ Prominent “Get Started” CTA guiding the next action

New

Size Chart Creation

✅ Two distinct options: “Size Chart Builder” & “Size Chart Finder”
✅ Clear purpose statements + usage guidelines for each
✅ Video tutorials (2:36 duration) to preview workflows
✅ Recommended option visually highlighted
✅ “When to use” scenarios reduce decision paralysis

New

Product Assignment

Clear status indicators: “Brand Check Completed” & “SKU Check Completed”
Advanced filtering by Gender, Brand, Category, and Size Chart
Bulk assign functionality for faster management
Visual product cards with pre-filled info
Undo/Redo/Refresh actions for error recovery

New

Widget Configuration

Simple On/Off toggle with immediate visual feedback
Plain-language placement guidance (“near your add to cart button”)
✅ Language settings simplified with flag icons
✅ Location settings clarified with cart icon reference
✅ Clear “Back” and “Finish” actions for safe navigation

New

Test :

I ran usability tests with 5 Shopify merchants.

  • All successfully completed key flows (build a chart, assign products, configure widget).

  • Feedback: “This is way quicker, I don’t need a dev to set this up.”

  • Iterations included clearer edit options, helper text for “fit preference,” and validation for odd inputs.

Impact:

My contribution helped the brands increase their sales coverage by 35%-50%

TAKEAWAY

By empathizing with both merchants and shoppers, I delivered a redesign that was not only intuitive but also delivered real business impact.
