Product Extra Info Tabs

When it comes to e-commerce success, providing comprehensive, well-organized product information can significantly boost conversions. Product Extra Info Tabs is designed to help you do just that—by adding versatile, customizable tabs to your product pages so your customers can find the info they need at a glance. Whether you sell technical gadgets requiring extensive specs or lifestyle products calling for usage tips and brand stories, this module helps you present those details neatly.

1. Multi-Level Tab Assignments

1. By Individual Product

   • Sometimes a single product needs unique information (like a special warranty or usage guide). Assign a custom tab exclusively to that item without affecting the rest of your catalog.

2. By Category

   • Want all “Kitchen Appliances” to show a standard set of care instructions? Simply create a tab at the category level—ideal for consistent messaging across many products.

3. By Supplier or Manufacturer

   • If your store carries multiple brands or suppliers, use this module to add brand-specific disclaimers, quality guarantees, or stories across their respective product lines automatically.

2. Rich Text Editing with TinyMCE

Gone are the days of fumbling with raw HTML to create professional product pages. Product Extra Info Tabs integrates seamlessly with TinyMCE, a user-friendly WYSIWYG editor that lets you:

• Insert Images & Links: Provide visual aids or direct readers to a how-to page.
• Format Text & Headings: Make content scannable using bullet points, headings, and styling.
• Embed Videos or Attachments (optional via additional plugins): Offer product demonstrations or instruction manuals for an immersive experience.

3. User Group Visibility

Not all tabs are meant for every audience. For instance, you might prefer to show advanced technical data to your B2B clients while keeping the same product listing simpler for end consumers. With Product Extra Info Tabs, you can:

• Restrict Access: Display a tab only to certain customer groups (e.g., VIP members, wholesale customers, or specific regional segments).
• Localized or Tiered Info: Provide different levels of detail based on user profiles, streamlining the purchase journey and preventing information overload.

4. AJAX Loading for Better Performance & SEO

Large blocks of extra content can slow down initial page loads and potentially dilute the main product copy. This module’s optional AJAX loading feature resolves that issue:

• On-Demand Content: Tab data only fetches once a user clicks on the tab, reducing the initial load time.
• Improved SEO Focus: By not loading all tab content on the main page, you preserve the priority of your core product description for search engine crawlers.
• Smooth User Experience: Customers won’t experience jarring page reloads or big lumps of text. Tabs expand naturally, letting them dive deeper at their own pace.

5. Multiple Layout Styles

Product Extra Info Tabs caters to different design preferences and store branding:

1. Browser-Like Tabs: Classic horizontal or vertical tabs at the top of the product description area—ideal for a clean, streamlined look.
2. Stacked (Accordion) Layout: Display each tab’s content in a vertical, collapsible format, especially useful for mobile or long-form content.

6. Example Use Cases

1. Electronics Retailer

   • Assign a “Technical Specs” tab for each category of devices, plus a “Brand Policies” tab for each manufacturer (e.g., Samsung, Apple).
   • Use the B2B user group to add a “Bulk Order Pricing” tab, hidden from retail customers.

2. Fashion & Apparel Store

   • Display general “Size & Care Guide” tabs at the category level, and hide them for user groups that don’t need the info.
   • For special brand collaborations, add a “Designer’s Note” tab, loaded on-demand so it doesn’t overshadow product images.

3. B2B Wholesaler

   • Provide “MOQ & Lead Time” info in a dedicated tab for large orders, visible only to wholesale members.
   • Add a “Documents & Downloads” tab with PDF attachments, ensuring your standard product page remains uncluttered.

7. Setup & Configuration

1. Installation: Upload and install the module through your PrestaShop back office.
2. Create Tabs: Use the provided interface to name your tab, set content via TinyMCE, and assign which products, categories, suppliers, or manufacturers it applies to.
3. Adjust Access: Select which user groups can see each tab, plus decide whether to load it via AJAX.
4. Test & Customize: Explore different layout styles—tabs or stacked—to see which best fits your theme. Confirm changes on product detail pages.
5. Maintain & Update: Add or remove tabs at any time. Because each tab can be repurposed for new campaigns or updated specs, the module adapts alongside your evolving product lines.

8. Seamless Integration & Compatibility

Product Extra Info Tabs is designed to be theme-agnostic and does not modify core PrestaShop files:

• No Core Edits: Minimal risk during installation or updates.
• Theme Flexibility: The module typically hooks into your product page template, easily adjusted with a bit of CSS if you want to blend seamlessly into your site’s aesthetics.
• Language & Multistore Support: If you operate multiple languages or storefronts, easily create localized or store-specific tabs.
