E-commerce websites generally refer to various e-commerce websites such as various enterprise websites, e-commerce malls, cloud enterprises, and cloud malls that provide trading services based on the Internet. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

    • 1. The e-commerce website creates personal size customization route on the interface of clothing, shoes, and hats products.


Clothing, shoes and hats on existing e-commerce websites are all fixed sizes, which cannot be tailored to consumers' personal sizes. In order to achieve consumer personal size customization, e-commerce websites must break the existing fixed size model and create personal size customization route for clothing, shoes and hats production.

    • (1) The e-commerce website creates personal size customization route on the interface of clothing, shoes, and hats products.


There are four modes to create the user's personal size customization routes on the e-commerce website as follows. The manual e-commerce website does not need to establish a personal size customization database for each category of Clothing, shoes and hats in mode one and mode two; in mode three, the e-commerce website needs to establish a personal size customization database for each category of clothing, shoes and hats; in mode four, the e-commerce website does not build each category, and the personal size customization database of Clothing, shoes and hats is established by a third-party website.


Mode 1

The e-commerce website creates a new selection box (non-fixed size) in the “Size” column of the clothing, shoes, and hats interface. When a user clicks the selection box when shopping online, the dialog box displays the personal size parameters of the product. If there is only one selection box in the “Size” column of the product, it means that this product only accepts personal size customization; if there are addition of selection boxes and the fixed size of the existing product (such as clothing: XS/S/M/L/XL; shoes: 35/36/37/38/39/40/41/; Hat: 55/56/57/58/59/60/61), it means that this style product accepts both fixed size orders and personal size custom orders.


Mode 2

The e-commerce website adds a personal size information column option in the “Size” column of the clothing, shoes, and hats products interface to display the product's personal size parameter information. If there is only a personal size information column in the “Size” column of the product interface, it means that this product only accepts personal size customization; if there are addition of a personal size information column option and the fixed size of the existing product (such as clothing: XS/S/M/L/XL; shoes: 35/36/37/38/39/40/41/; Hat: 55/56/57/58/59/60/61), it means that this style product accepts both fixed size orders and personal size custom orders.


Mode 3

E-commerce website establishes a continuously updated database of personal size information for various categories of Clothing, shoes and hats, and opens a new selection box (non-fixed size) in the “size” column of the Clothing, shoes and hats interface, and users shop online when you click the selection box, it will automatically connect to the website's internal personal size information database, and the personal size parameters will be displayed in the dialog box. If there is only one check box in the “Size” column, it means that this product only accepts personal size customization orders; if there are addition of selection boxes and the fixed size of the existing product (such as clothing: XS/S/M/L/XL; shoes: 35/36/37/38/39/40/41/; Hat: 55/56/57/58/59/60/61), it means this style product accepts both fixed-size orders and personal-size customization orders.


Mode Four

The new e-commerce website opens an agreement to open a selection box (non-fixed size) that can connect to third-party websites, and users shop online when you log in to any e-commerce website that has opened a size customization service with a third-party website, click the new option box, and a dialog box will pop up. After entering the account and password registered on the third-party website, request the third-party server to extract the user's personal size Parameter data. After the third-party website server receives the instruction and passes the verification, the user's personal size customization parameter data will be fed back to the e-commerce website, and the personal size customization parameters will be displayed in the dialog box for the user to confirm the size customization information.


If there is only one check box in the “Size” column, it means that this product only accepts personal size customization orders; adding selection box based on the fixed size of product (such as clothing: XS/S/M/L/XL; shoes: 35/36/37/38/39/40/41/; Hat: 55/56/57/58/59/60/61) it means that the style accepts both fixed-size orders and personal size custom orders.
