Add custom tabs with content to products in WooCommerce.
This plugin extends WooCommerce to allow shop owners to add custom tabs to products. The tabs are displayed on the individual product pages to the right of the default “Description” tab.
Individual product tabs are managed on the WooCommerce Edit Product screen and can be added on a per product basis. You can also create saved tabs and add them to multiple products as needed. Tabs can be easily added, deleted and rearranged.
Tab content areas use the standard WordPress text editor and may contain text, images, HTML or shortcodes.
If you experience any problems, please submit a ticket on our Free WordPress Support Forums and we’ll look in to it as soon as possible.
This plugin is compatible with WPML.

FAQ
All documentation can be found in our Knowledge Base.
When editing a product in WooCommerce, you will find “Custom Tabs” in the bottom left corner of the Product Data box. Click on “Custom Tabs” to reveal the custom tab manager.
When the product is viewed on your website you will see the tabs you created to the right of the default “Description” tab.
To change the order of custom tabs use the up and down “Move tab order” arrows.
Saved tabs are tabs you can create and then add to as many products you would like. If you update a saved tab, the changes will be updated for all products using that tab.
To create a saved tab, click on the ‘Custom Product Tabs’ item on the WordPress dashboard menu and click the “Add Tab” button.
To add a saved tab to a product, go to the custom tabs section on the edit product screen, click the ‘Add a Saved Tab’ button above the tab, and choose which tab you would like to add.
When using a saved tab on a product, a checkbox appears with the message ‘Override Saved Tab’ If you click that checkbox, edit the tab and save, the tab will be changed for that product only. Any edits to that saved tab under ‘Custom Product Tabs’ will not be applied to that product.
This was added in version 1.5 to support the dynamic adding and removing of the wp_editor/WYSIWYG editor. Without this setting, the WYSIWYG editor does not load the correct toolbar and the editor can potentially break.
Yes! Since v1.4 we’ve added the necessary code to ensure the custom tab data is exported with all of the other standard WooCommerce data. This ensures a smooth transition of products between sites.
