Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
Size guides are a great way to keep customers informed when making purchases on your online store.
You can expect to see a reduction in return orders as a result of people ordering sizes that fit them. This can help your business save costs and offer a better online shopping experience.
In our latest blog post we look at some outstanding examples of size guides in top eCommerce sites including Puma, TAG Heuer, Bloomscape, and TOMs.
We also show off our new size guide feature within CommerceKit and demonstrate you how you can easily include custom sizes on your own store.

I found this useful little plugin which enables WooCommerce product sale scheduling to the day, hour and minute.
This extends the default WooCommerce functionality which only offers product sale scheduling to the day (in 24 hour increments).
