Custom Product Tabs
page last edited on 14 August 2018
If the standard set of product page tabs used in your store by default does not meet your needs, you can use the addon Custom product tabs to change it.
With this addon enabled, you will be able to specify which of the standard X-Cart store tabs should be displayed on the product page and in what order; if you need more tabs, you will also be able to add custom tabs of your own.
Managing global product tabs
Global product tabs can be managed via the Product tabs section of your store’s Admin area (Catalog -> Product tabs).
By default the standard set of tabs on a product page includes Description, Specification, Comments and Reviews.
The default global product tabs cannot be deleted and can only be hidden if required. The rest of the tabs can be enabled, disabled and deleted if necessary.
To add a new global product tab:
-
Click New tab.
-
On the page that opens, specify the tab name, content and brief info (if applicable).
-
Click Create to save the tab and continue editing the current tab.
OR:
Click Save and close to save the tab and be redirected back.
A new global product tab will be added to both the Product tabs section and the Tabs section of each product respectively the tab position being preserved as set in Product tabs:


Any changes applied to the global product tabs (sorting and viewing options) will affect the newly created products only. If you want the changes to be applied to all the existing products, enable the option Apply sort and view settings for all products before saving the changes.
Managing product specific product tabs
Product specific product tabs can be managed via the Tabs section of a product’s details.
To create a product specific product tab:
-
Find the product for which you need to add a new tab and open its details.
-
Go to the Tabs section and click New tab.
-
On the page that opens, specify the tab name, content and brief info (if applicable).
-
Click Create to save the tab and continue editing the current tab.
OR:
Click Save and close to save the tab and be redirected back to the Tabs section of the product details.
