Using tabs

This page walks through the common ways stores use Tabby day to day.

Add a global “Shipping & returns” tab

A global tab is the right tool for content that is identical on every product.

1. Go to WooCommerce → Tabby Tabs.
2. Add a tab with the title Shipping & returns.
3. In the content area, write your policy using safe HTML — a short paragraph, a bulleted list of delivery options, and a link to your full returns page.
4. Set Placement to after native tabs so it follows Description and Reviews.
5. Save.

The tab now appears on every product page automatically.

Add a per-product specification tab

Some products need their own content — technical specs, ingredients, a fit note.

1. Open the product in the editor.
2. Find the Custom Product Tabs (Tabby) box.
3. Add a tab titled Specifications with the details for this product.
4. Update the product.

The Specifications tab shows only on this product, alongside your global tabs.

Hide a global tab on one product

Suppose your global Warranty tab does not apply to a clearance item.

1. Open that product.
2. In the Custom Product Tabs (Tabby) box, tick Warranty under the hide list.
3. Update the product.

The Warranty tab disappears on this product and keeps showing everywhere else.

Combining global and per-product tabs

On any single product the tab list is built from:

1. The native WooCommerce tabs (Description, Additional information, Reviews).
2. Your global tabs — minus any you have hidden on this product.
3. This product’s per-product tabs.

Whether your custom tabs sit before or after the native ones is controlled by the global Placement setting.

Tips

• Keep titles short so they fit the tab bar on mobile.
• Use a global tab for anything you would otherwise copy and paste onto many products — editing it once updates every product.
• If a tab looks empty on the storefront, check that its content field is not blank; empty tabs are intentionally skipped.
