Is it possible to have a description auto closed when seeing the product

Store Design
,

Topic summary

Goal: Collapse a long product description by default on a TOYO theme product page, so customers expand it only if needed.

What’s proposed:

  • Two helpers say this is possible via custom code and may also be available as a theme setting (an “auto close” option). No specific theme setting location was identified.
  • Admin steps: Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit code, open theme.liquid, and add a script just before the closing tag.

Latest update (technical approach):

  • A JavaScript snippet was provided that runs on window load and targets the product page’s accordion/description (a HTML
    element). It removes the “open” attribute to ensure the description is closed by default.

Clarifications requested:

  • The original poster asked twice for a screenshot and how to find the tag in theme.liquid. A helper explained to search theme.liquid for and paste the code immediately above it.

Key terms:

  • theme.liquid: main layout file. : closing HTML body tag.
    “open” attribute: controls expanded/collapsed state.

Status: No confirmation of implementation; screenshots not provided. The thread appears open with pending user understanding of where to place the code.

Hello,

I have a website where i have products with a big description and i am wondering if i can have them auto closed so only if the costumers want to read it they can open it, because right now they are auto open everytime.

TOYO theme

Thank you!
