Hi, my store sells art and they are sized in cm and inches both. I want something like this: Still Steel | Ideelart to have buttons that convert sizes from cm to inches and inches to cm.
Hello @shakeel70
That’s an interesting question! I can certainly see how it would be helpful for customers to have the option to see art sizes in both metric and imperial measurements.
Thanks for providing the example link! It’s helpful to be able to see exactly what you mean on the product pages. So ideally you are hoping to find a solution that shows some sort of selectable size unit right? It’s essentially the same product, it just displays the sizes differently.
It’s possible that the website you linked had that coded in by a developer as a custom solution, or maybe the theme setup they have includes that functionality natively. You could consider reaching out to a Shopify Expert for professional help with this. There you will find various freelance developers who can work with you to personalize your product pages to include that button.
However, there may be some apps you can install to achieve something similar. Have you considered something like a size chart, that could include the different dimensions in both cm and inches? I had a look on the Shopify App Store and found a few that you could check out:

Even though the thread is a year old, your idea for adding conversion buttons to your art store is still relevant and beneficial. Providing a seamless way for customers to convert sizes between cm and inches can enhance their shopping experience. Just like the example you mentioned, Still Steel | Ideelart, having conversion buttons could make it easier for customers to visualize and compare sizes.
