How to dynamically display information on one of the tabs/sections?

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A user wants to dynamically display product specifications in a separate section (distinct from the main description) without creating individual product templates for each item.

Current Challenge:

  • Product descriptions pull dynamically, but the user needs additional product data (like dimensions/specifications) to populate a separate “Specifications” tab or section automatically.
  • Goal is to avoid manual template creation for every product.

Suggested Solution:

  • Use metafields and dynamic sources in Shopify themes to pull custom product data into different sections.
  • Theme support varies: most allow dynamic content but fewer support dynamic labels/headers for accordion-style UI elements.
  • May require alternate templates for different product sets or custom theme development to achieve the desired layout.

Status: The question remains open regarding whether the user’s specific theme supports dynamic specification headers without custom coding.

Hi all,

I know the description is pulled through dynamically from the Product, but is there anyway other information from the product can be pulled dynamically as well into a separate section?

My aim is to have a separate header for “Specifications” instead of having the dimensions of my products under description, but I don’t want to have to create a new product template for each product to have different information display for different products.

Surely there is a more efficient way of handling this?

Read the friendly manual thoroughly your business literally depends on knowing the admins basics:

Note that not all themes support all features, for example in the case of accordion type UI’s most themes let you set the content but not many let you dynamically change the label/header of each part.

So may need to use alternate templates for some sets of products to have specific labels/headings
