Product description is not visible on product page

Topic summary

Users of Shopify’s Dawn theme are encountering an issue where product descriptions don’t display on product pages, despite being entered in the product body and collection descriptions working correctly.

Solution identified:

  1. Go to theme customization
  2. Navigate to Products → Default Products
  3. Access Product Information section
  4. Add a Description block

Key clarification: For users not seeing an “Add Block” option directly, the workaround is to right-click (or hover over) the Product Information section itself, which reveals options to add blocks before or after the section. Then select Description from the block options.

The issue appears to stem from Dawn theme’s block-based architecture requiring manual addition of the description block, rather than it being included by default. Multiple users confirmed this solution resolved their visibility problem.

Hi There,

Just wondering if someone can help me. I am new to shopify, using the Dawn theme. For some reason the product description in not visible on the product pages. I have searched everywhere to find a solution, but I can’t seem to find anything. My collection descriptions are visible, but nothing for products. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi @Evie22 , can you post a link to your store? Have you changed the code of the theme or installed any apps in your store?

Hello. I am dealing with the same issue. Although product descriptions are in the body of each product, once you go online, descriptions do not show.

H. Granate, I discovered after many hours that you need to go to:

  1. customize
  2. Select Products - go to default products
  3. On the left go to Product Information
  4. Select: Add Block - then add Description

You should be able to see the product description after you do this.

Cheers,

Same problem! Stupid theme, difficult to use

Hi, there is no option to add block in my Product Information, only Add section after it.

Can you please help how to show the product information if this is case? THanks.

Hi, I had the same problem and then figured it out after landing on this page. All you have to do is hover over Product Information and then right click on it, it will show you the option to add a block after or before the section, then add the block after the section and choose Description.
