In this article, you’ll learn about another Shopify element: product descriptions.
About the Product Description Element
The “Product Description” element is used to display descriptions of your Shopify products to increase conversions. You can use the “Product Description” element to promote your product on product pages as well as non-product pages.
Note that you can use the search function to find this element, not in the sidebar.
There are two common variations of the Product Description element, and we’ll continue to add more to help you save time.
Drag a variant to a layout and see how to configure it.
Product description element configuration
The Product Description element comes with a number of parameters that allow you to fine-tune the appearance of your content for optimal conversion rates.
Select this element in the layout to view its parameters.
When dragging and dropping the “Product Description” element to the editor page, there are 2 options for “Product Source”:
- automatic
- custom product
Note that if you are using the Product Description element in your Product Page, you can select the Product Source option. However, when you use this element in the “General Page”, the “Product Source” option is disabled by default, and “Custom Product” is selected.
If “Automatic” is selected, the product assigned when this product page was created will be displayed in the page editor. The Automatic option is the default when you use the Product Description element.
You can select “Custom Products” and select the desired product.
