    What is open sizing?

    Open sizing lets you set minimum order quantities by style so that your retailers can choose various sizes of a style and still meet your minimum order requirements.

    You can also require retailers to purchase a set size run of a product by creating prepacks. If you would like to list your product as a prepack, visit Prepacks.

     

     

    Why open sizing?

    Based on our research, retailers spend 40% more and are 10% more likely to purchase products when they have the flexibility to choose varying sizes to meet the minimum order quantity. As a brand, you can still ensure you’re getting a minimum quantity of a particular style ordered while giving retailers that added flexibility.

     

     

    How to list a product with open sizing

    1. Go to your Products tab and select the item you want to list as open sizing or choose Add products in the upper-right corner of the page.
    2. If the product doesn't already have sizes, you must add sizes by selecting This product has options underneath the Product options section. From here, select Edit product options.
      1. A window will appear so you can add all of your product options such as Size and Color.
      2. After you've added your product options, select Save & continue.
    3. Under the Selling method and measurements section, choose Open sizing for the selling method.
    4. Set your Minimum order quantity (also known as Min Order Qty or MOQ). This is the minimum number of units of a single style that a retailer must add to their cart in order to check out.
    5. Press Update to save your changes.
