How do I add the "Product Information" section in the Index/Home Page?

Topic summary

Goal: make a one‑product store’s homepage behave like the product page in the Origin theme.

Issue: the index page only offers “Featured Product,” which lacks blocks like collapsible rows available in “Product Information.” The merchant wants those Product Information blocks on the homepage. Making the product page the homepage via code worked functionally but adds an unwanted URL path (/products/handle).

Responses/ideas:

  • Request for the store URL to review specifics.
  • Workaround proposed: add a “Custom Liquid” block and output {{ product.description }} to surface product content (Liquid = Shopify’s templating language). This does not explicitly replicate collapsible rows.
  • Another user reports the Custom Liquid approach “is not active” for them (not working as expected).

Status: No confirmed solution in-thread to add the full “Product Information” section to the homepage in Origin. The Custom Liquid workaround remains unverified/partial, and further details (store URL) were requested. Screenshots were provided to illustrate the available sections and limitations. Discussion remains open.

Hi

I am trying to make a one-product shopify store and i am using the Origin theme. That means I will need to make the product page the homepage. I googled it and see that you can just make the usual homepage LOOK like the product page, but the thing is the homepage doesn’t have the “Product Information” section, which allows me to do collapsible rows and additional blocks:

The homepage only has the “Featured Product” section which has only a limited about of blocks, i can’t create collapsible rows or other useful blocks.

I saw another method where you make the product page the homepage by changing custom code, but when i did that. I didn’t like that the home website had additional text in my URL Websitename.com/product/product handle.

Is there any way that i can use the “Product Information” section in the home page?

Thanks

Hi @Donflamingo786

You can add Custom Liquid block and this code in this section.

{{ product.description }}
