Using Size Templates in Zelph
Size Templates let you save a reusable set of variant options — like a standard Small / Medium / Large set or a UK shoe size run — and apply them to multiple products in one click. They’re a time-saver any time you sell catalogue items with repeating size patterns.
Where to find them
Go to Tools > Size Templates in the sidebar.
What a template contains
Each template holds:
- Name — what you’ll search for when applying (e.g. “Adult T-Shirt Sizes” or “UK Shoe 3–12”).
- Description — context for the team.
- One or more Options — e.g. Size, Colour.
- For each option, a list of Variants — the actual values, with optional SKU pattern and barcode pattern.
Creating a template
- Click Create.
- Enter a Name and optional Description.
- Click Add Option and name it (e.g. Size).
- Under that option, add each variant value:
- Title — the value (e.g. Small, 3 UK).
- SKU pattern (optional) — a template like
{product}-{variant}that auto-generates SKUs when the template is applied. - Barcode pattern (optional) — same idea for barcodes.
- Add more options if your variants are multi-axis (e.g. Size × Colour).
- Click Save.
Applying a template to a product
From a product’s Options or Variants tab, choose the template you want to use. Zelph generates the full variant matrix for you — every combination, with SKUs and barcodes filled in from the patterns where you set them.
You can still edit any individual variant after applying, so a template is a starting point rather than a lock-in.
What the table shows
- Name
- Options as badges
- Variant count
- Created and Updated dates
Editing or deleting a template
- Edit — update options, add or remove variants, change patterns. Existing products that previously used the template aren’t affected; only the template itself changes.
- Delete — remove the template. Products that were built from it keep their variants.
Examples worth saving
- Adult T-Shirt Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL
- UK Shoe 3–12: 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 ... 12
- EU Shoe 36–47: 36, 36.5, 37 ... 47
- Cap One-Size: One Size (single value)
- Kids’ Apparel: 2–3 yrs, 4–5 yrs, 6–7 yrs ...
Tips
- Keep template names consistent — e.g. always start with the product family (“UK Shoe ...”, “Adult T-Shirt ...”).
- Use SKU patterns to auto-generate predictable SKUs at scale — saves manually setting each one.
- Build one template per audience (Adult, Kids, etc.) so your team picks the right one without thinking.
