More than one description (or split description)

Hey Everyone. Is there a way to essentially have two descriptions (or split the description) on one product page. Ideally, first portion (the portion next to the picture of the product) would have the most important bullet points, and the second portion (below the product picture/first portion) elaborates on bullet points and additional details. In the Kagami template, I can have the description in either or both positions (side and below the product pictures. Thank you.

Hi @jcurley

This is indeed doable but would require custom coding to get that result here as well as implementing a “Show Split Description” setting to control this.

Do you have a consistent unique text or character that can serve as a marker between the descriptions?

Hey @JHKCreate . Not at the moment, but I don’t mind that being the case. What are the next steps?

Would you mind sharing a sample description or a link to a product page with a clear visual here?

I haven’t made the sample description for the product yet. However, the best example is from TRX:

https://store.trxtraining.com/products/stc-v2

I’m only interested in the product description to the right of the main picture at the top, and the “Product Information” section that starts in the middle of the page.

What do you think of creating a field just for this under “Short Description” ? Which will be independent from the main description?

That’s fine with me. How do we make this happen?

Let’s see, one last question: How many products will you have in total?

2 products in total. One is a physical product (the Tyger Mat) and one digital (The Course). The product page for the Tyger Mat is live. The product page for the digital course is under construction. The digital course also has variant (each date is a variant, the course itself is the same for all dates.)

For the digital course, would each variant have a different short & long description as well?

With the exception of the title of each variant (where the title is the day, date, and time of the event), everything is the same.

Alright that should be pretty straightforward then, how proficient are you in liquid programming?

I can copy/paste code in the correct locations. I don’t know how to write code.

Ok no worries, since it’s just two products it shouldn’t be a problem, we can help on that swiftly.

Would you kindly install the following free Metafields app to create the Short Description section?

If you could also share your store’s URL so we can request collaborator access that would be great, thanks!

Which Metafield App?

It was added.

Fantastic!

We’ve added the field for the “Tyger Mat” Product.

To check it, click on the Metafield app → Product & Variants → Your Product →

Paste any description you want here, recreate the same field with the same name for the other products so it auto-fills. Let me know!

Awesome man! Could you do the same for the Course: Live-Stream?
