Mission

To transform Shopify's "Find Your Fit" into a user-centric, scalable solution that simplifies discovery, enhances personalization, and boosts engagement.

About the Product

Pixibo's Find Your Fit® is a leading AI-powered size recommendation platform that transforms how people shop for clothes online. By combining advanced algorithms with intuitive design, the platform helps shoppers find their perfect size across different brands and styles, significantly reducing size-related returns for retailers.

The technology integrates seamlessly into e-commerce websites, offering personalized size recommendations based on:
Individual body measurements
Fit preferences
Previous purchase history

Who is the User?

The primary user persona represents fashion-conscious online shoppers in Southeast Asia, including:

✔️ Sustainability-focused buyers (SANS FAFF, Align Swim)
✔️ Trend-followers (Colourful Rebel)
✔️ Premium fashion enthusiasts (JOSH V, Zalora Group)

They seek style and convenience but struggle with sizing uncertainties across brands, requiring a digital solution for accurate size recommendations to boost confidence and reduce returns.

Understanding the Problem Space (Heuristics) Why?

As Find Your Fit® evolved, design and engineering debt surfaced, leading to navigation issues, poor discoverability, and scalability limitations. These challenges impacted both shoppers and merchants, creating friction in the size recommendation process and making integration with new e-commerce platforms more complex.

Scalability

  • Original architecture couldn’t support multiple brands, product types, and fit preferences.

  • Led to inefficiencies and made integration with new platforms difficult.

Navigation

  • Unclear information architecture caused duplicated features and inconsistent flows.

  • Users lost context during setup, making the experience frustrating and inefficient.

Discoverability

  • Key actions (like starting Fit setup) weren’t visible or intuitive.

  • When users couldn’t see how their choices influenced results, they hesitated to proceed.

Visual Hierarchy

  • Users couldn’t easily identify primary actions or steps.

  • This led to confusion, errors, and a lack of trust in size recommendations.

User Pain Points

Through user feedback, heuristic evaluations, and usability testing, we identified key usability challenges:

Confusing task flows
Inconsistent visual design
Lack of contextual information to guide decision-making
These usability gaps caused hesitation, increased cognitive load, and drop-offs during the size chart creation process.

#1 Dashboard

On this screen, users view a disconnected layout of four cards under a generic "[Mango]" header. The poor information architecture creates several user challenges:

  • Confusion about where to start the setup process

  • Difficulty tracking progress through setup steps

  • Inefficient navigation between different functions

  • Uncertainty about completion status

  • Lost time trying to understand relationships between different features

  • Reduced confidence in the platform due to unprofessional appearance

#2 Size Chart Creation

On this screen, users encounter three ambiguous options: "Smart Size Chart Builder," "Manual Size Chart Builder," and "Use a Size Chart of a popular brand." The interface suffers from poor information hierarchy and generic placeholder text, creating significant user challenges:

  • Users struggle to make informed decisions due to lack of clear option differentiation

  • Time is wasted trying to understand each option's purpose without proper explanations

  • Risk of selecting an inappropriate tool due to missing guidance

  • Potential task abandonment due to uncertainty and confusion

#3 Product Assignment

On this screen, users face a basic product management interface with limited filtering capabilities and redundant save buttons. These limitations create several operational difficulties:

  • Inefficient workflow due to inability to perform bulk actions

  • Time-consuming product management without clear organization tools

  • Risk of errors due to unclear save button functions

  • Frustration from limited filtering options causing excessive scrolling

  • Uncertainty about assignment status leading to double-checking work

#4 Widget Configuration

On this screen, users confront a technical implementation interface with complex terminology and developer-focused approach. This creates significant barriers:

  • Non-technical users feel overwhelmed by technical jargon

  • High risk of incorrect widget placement due to unclear instructions

  • Anxiety about making changes without visual preview

  • Time lost trying to understand technical concepts

  • Uncertainty about widget functionality leading to hesitation

Redesign Goals

The core challenge was to refine the shopping experience, balancing simplicity and functionality. The primary goal was to design an intuitive and engaging e-commerce platform that enhances the shopping journey for both merchants and customers.

Key Design Principles:
Optimized user flow
Seamless navigation
Enhanced accessibility
Clear visual hierarchy

KISS: Keep it Simple,Stupid

Ease of Navigation

Ensure the design facilitates effortless exploration of the store, making it clear where the user should go next—whether it’s discovering products, adding them to the cart, or completing a purchase.

Chat bubble icon

Reduce Friction

Minimize the number of actions (clicks, swipes, or steps) required to complete key tasks like searching for products or checking out.

Magnifiying glass icon

Build Credibility and Trust

Establish a sense of reliability through clear communication, secure payment methods, and consistent branding, fostering confidence in both merchants and shoppers.

#1 Dashboard

The welcome screen now provides:

  • Clear value proposition explaining the product's benefit

  • Visual three-step process with intuitive icons

  • Progress indicators showing completed steps

  • Descriptive text for each step's purpose

  • Logical flow with arrow indicators between steps

  • Clear call-to-action with "Get Started" button
    These improvements create a cohesive onboarding experience that guides users confidently through the setup process.

#2 Size Chart Creation

The redesigned screen now offers two clear, distinct options with video previews: "Size Chart Builder" and "Size Chart Finder." Each option includes:

  • Clear purpose statements and usage guidelines

  • Visual preview with video tutorials (2:36 duration)

  • Distinct visual treatment highlighting the recommended option

  • Specific "When to use" scenarios reducing decision paralysis
    These improvements help users make informed decisions quickly and confidently about which tool best suits their needs.

  • Comprehensive filtering system with Gender, Brand, Product Category, and Size Chart options

  • Bulk assign functionality for efficient product management

  • Visual product cards with pre-filled information

  • Undo/Redo/Refresh actions for error recovery
    These improvements streamline the product assignment process and reduce user effort through automated checks and bulk actions.

#4 Widget Configuration

The widget setup screen has been simplified with:

  • Clear On/Off toggle with visual feedback

  • Simple language explaining widget placement "near your add to cart button"

  • Straightforward language settings with flag icons

  • Precise location settings with cart icon

  • Clear "Back" and "Finish" actions
    The technical complexity has been replaced with user-friendly controls and visual confirmations of settings.
