Mixing formal ‘Sie’ with the informal imperative ‘leg’ creates a register clash.
Finde deine Größe und legst sie in den Warenkorb.
‘legst’ is the du‑present tense, not the imperative; the correct command is ‘leg’ or ‘Lege’.
Finde deine Größe und leg sie in das Warenkorb.
‘Warenkorb’ is masculine, so the accusative article is ‘den’, not ‘das’.

Cultural Tip
In German online stores the term ‘Warenkorb’ (literally ‘goods basket’) is the standard word for a shopping cart. UI texts often use short, direct imperatives like ‘Finde…’ and ‘Leg…’ to keep the interface crisp. Remember that the informal du‑form is common in e‑commerce, but if you are addressing a customer formally you would say ‘Finden Sie Ihre Größe und legen Sie sie in den Warenkorb.’
