Sign Customiser now opens custom-size inputs in the measurement system that matches a shopper’s active Shopify market. Shoppers in imperial markets see inches first, while shoppers in metric markets see centimetres first, making it easier to enter the dimensions they know.

## What’s Changed

- **Local units appear first**Customisers that offer both units now start with inches for imperial markets and centimetres for metric markets.
- **No merchant setup required**Sign Customiser uses the shopper’s active Shopify market automatically, including when a shopper changes country on the storefront.
- **Both units stay available**Shoppers can still switch units whenever they need to, and customisers set to a single unit continue to use that unit.
- **Existing size details stay consistent**Wherever dimensions already display both inches and centimetres, such as reviews and visualiser measurements, they continue to show both.
