In this example, the merchant wishes for their store to have a product display widget (a section to show specific products in relation to another product without grouping them together) for just one specific product.

We are going to add this to a tab and customize the text in the tab for those products to show specifically for only one product page.

You can use any kind of product display widget you'd like. There are many to choose from. We have the following articles on Product Display widgets and Product Lists:

 

1.The easiest option is to turn off the show related items in tab setting.

 Themes > Theme Editor > Catalog Pages > Product Details > Show Related Items on Tab

Then add a product display widget to the theme and style it as needed.

 

 Themes > Theme Editor >  Pages > Product Details > Widgets

Enable Merge Code

 

Copy this merge code to the clipboard.

 

 

Then via the store text, edit one of the unused long desc. file to so that is it is called "Other Stuff" (or the text you wish the add).

 Under Search Options - Search for the key you would like to be changed to fit your widget to show in the tab. Example: We are adding a related items widget to be called "Other Stuff" in the place of the "Specifications" tab.

Long Description (Additional Information) (In this case we used Specifications) If you are placing this in a description setting of your product page, search for "Description" or "Long Description" and find the one you wish to change.

Change it to say what you would like. We are calling this "Other Stuff".

Now you will need to place the merge code you copied to your clipboard to the product itself in the description of the product you wish for it to be shown on.

 

Catalog > Products> Find & Edit Product

 

and

Now go to Descriptions > "Other Stuff" (formerly "Specifications")

3-14-2014_10-19-36_AM.jpg

 

 

3-14-2014_10-20-07_AM.jpg

 

add to the description.

3-14-2014_10-20-42_AM.jpg

 

 

It will now show on the store!!
