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

  1. Click Create.
  2. Enter a Name and optional Description.
  3. Click Add Option and name it (e.g. Size).
  4. 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.
  5. Add more options if your variants are multi-axis (e.g. Size × Colour).
  6. 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.
