Some themes will automatically have the option available for you and there are some apps that allow you to add tabs to your site. You can find a list of those apps here.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re looking to add tabs to your products page using code, then you need to follow the steps below. Please note that all themes are different. Therefore, this is a general guide and some aspects of the step-by-step instruction will be different for the particular theme you\u2019re using. If you\u2019re in doubt, you can speak to the theme developer to find out what file or other element you should be using on your website.<br \/>\n<div class=\"key-takeaways\"><div class=\"takeaways-title h2\">Key Takeaways<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">1<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Login to Shopify admin to start adding tabs to your store\u2019s theme.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">2<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Edit the product-template.liquid file to include custom tabbed sections for product info, shipping, and returns.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">3<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Add jQuery script in assets\/theme.js for tab functionality and content display control.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row1\">Step 1 - Login to Shopify Admin<\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you should do is to login to your Shopify admin page.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row2\">Step 2 - Themes<\/h2>\n<p>Now check your \u2018Online Store\u2019 and then the \u2018Themes\u2019 option. Find the theme that you\u2019re currently using, if you have more than one installed, and then click on that \u2018Actions\u2019 and then \u2018Edit code\u2019 option on the corresponding theme.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row3\">Step 3 - Theme.liquid File<\/h2>\n<p>Find the theme.liquid file within the list of files that shows up. Within this file find the term \u2018jQuery\u2019. If it is not in the file, then you will need to add jQuery into your theme. Otherwise you can just continue.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row4\">Step 4 - Product Template<\/h2>\n<p>Next go to the product-template.liquid template that is within your theme files and open that up in the code editor. You need to locate the product description area, it should look like:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">{{ product.description }}<\/pre>\n<p>You now need to replace it with this following code.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"tabs\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"tabs\">\n<li><a href=\"#tab-1\">Info<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"tabs\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"tabs\">\n<li><a href=\"#tab-2\">Shipping<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"tabs\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"tabs\">\n<li><a href=\"#tab-3\">Returns<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"tab-1\">{{ product.description }}<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"tab-2\">{% render \u2018shipping\u2019 %}<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"tab-3\">{{ pages.returns.content }}<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\"><\/pre>\n<p>You can create tabs by using HTML code and adding new divs for each tab. Within the first tab, which is labeled as info, you will add the liquid tag for the product description within the div holding the tab\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<p>Within the second tap, you can render a snippet that contains the shipping information for the customer. Remember that this is done as a snippet to prevent it from being indexed by search engines and for it not to display within searches on the site. You can also add an opt-in for order updates and enable push notifications for customers to receive real-time updates on their orders.<\/p>\n<p>The third tab, is where you can place the content of the returns information for your store. You can also include a pickup in-store option and add schema to improve visibility on search engines.<\/p>\n<p>Now these items can be changed. For instance, you could create a sizing tab or an FAQ tab.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can add filters to your store to help customers narrow down their search and find products more easily. A Buy Button to Instagram can also be added to allow customers to purchase products directly from your Instagram page.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row5\">Step 5 - Add jQuery<\/h2>\n<p>Now you need to add some JavaScript code into your assets\/theme.js file. You can find this within your theme files within the current theme. The code you need to add is:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">$(document).ready(function() {\r\n    $('ul.tabs').each(function(){\r\n      var active, content, links = $(this).find('a');\r\n      active = links.first().addClass('active');\r\n      content = $(active.attr('href'));\r\n      links.not(':first').each(function () {\r\n        $($(this).attr('href')).hide();\r\n      });\r\n      $(this).find('a').click(function(e){\r\n        active.removeClass('active');\r\n        content.hide();\r\n        active = $(this);\r\n        content = $($(this).attr('href'));\r\n        active.addClass('active');\r\n        content.show();\r\n        return false;\r\n      });\r\n    });\r\n  });<\/pre>\n<p>And that should complete your tabs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adding tabs to your Shopify store is an easy option for most people.
