@Fynorix - if you are familiar with the liquid coding then yes you can do it, else you will need a developer and since this is a coding task I doubt if anyone will do it for free

I don’t understand code that much, is it that complicated?

Hi @Fynorix

If you are using the Dawn theme, then we would like to share this option.

Under Home page > Feature product, you can consider adding the new block “Text block” there. Screenshot for your reference: (https://prnt.sc/GwXmgS6vVvDW).

Then you can copy the content of the Product description and paste it there instead.

Please let me know if it works. Thank you!

Best,

Daisy - Avada Support Team.

Hey there @Fynorix , this is Alexis from Akohub. To add a product description to the homepage on Shopify, follow these steps:

  1. Use a “Featured Product” Section:

    • In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize on your active theme.
    • Look for the option to add a section (usually called “Featured Product” or similar).
    • Select the product you want to feature. Many themes allow you to show a product image, price, and description right on the homepage.

  2. Edit Homepage Code (if customization is needed):

    • If you need a custom placement, go to Online Store > Themes, click Actions > Edit code.
    • In the index.liquid or theme.liquid file (depending on your theme), add the product description code where you want it to appear.
    • You can use {{ product.description }} to display the description if you’re familiar with Liquid, Shopify’s templating language.

  3. Use a Page Builder App:

    • Apps like Shogun, PageFly, or GemPages allow you to design custom homepage layouts easily, including adding product descriptions in various styles.
