Tabs+ lets you show different content to your customers depending on which product variant they have selected. This is useful when variants are genuinely different in some way - for example, different sizes that have different shipping rules, or different colours with different care instructions.
Selecting a variant
Open a product in the Tabs+ admin. If it has variants, you'll see a list on the left:
The first item is the base product - content here is the default for every variant.
Below it is a list of variants. Click any one to switch to editing that variant's content.
If you have many variants, the list paginates.
Custom variant title
By default, your customers see the product's title regardless of which variant is selected. To override that:
Select a variant from the left.
In the “Variant content” card, tick Show a custom title for this variant.
Enter the title you want to show when this variant is selected.
Publish.
Now, when a customer chooses this variant, the product title swaps to your custom one. When another variant is selected, the title goes back to the product's default.
Custom variant description
You can also give a variant its own product description.
Select the variant.
Tick Show a custom description for this variant.
The rich-text editor appears, pre-filled with the product's main description. Edit it however you like.
Publish.
When this variant is selected on the storefront, the description text replaces the product's default. Switching to another variant brings the default back.
Variant tabs
Variants can have their own tabs in addition to the product's tabs. With a variant selected, scroll down to the Variant tabs card and click Add variant tab. These tabs only appear when this specific variant is selected.
By default, the variant's tabs are added on top of the product's tabs - so customers see both. If you'd prefer to keep variant content isolated to its own area on the page, your theme can opt in to a separate “Variant description” block. See Theme app extension overview.
How does the storefront know when to switch?
Tabs+ listens for changes to the product form's variant selector. As soon as a customer picks a different option (size, colour, etc.), the title, description, and tabs update without a page reload.
Tips
You don't have to override everything per variant. Override only what's actually different.
Variants without overrides automatically fall back to the product's content.
If you have a lot of similar variants, build a shared tab for the common content instead of duplicating it.
Heavy variant overrides on a product with many variants can produce a lot of metafield data. If you hit a save error, simplify the content or contact us.
