Hi @Igor77
To add the column as you want, it require to change a lot of code in your theme.
so you should hire an expert to help you build that.

Hi @Igor77

To be able to add a column to each page of your theme, you need to change the code in your theme. This will take time to change, so I think that you should hire a developer or an expert to help you do this.

I’m looking forward to working with you.
