Option titles alone are often not enough to explain what a choice means. This module lets you add short descriptions directly where shoppers make their selection. A short description is shown below the title of an option; when the shopper selects a value that has its own description, that text is shown instead. In addition, a general text can be placed above the whole options block of a product, for example to explain how the product is configured.
Features
- New “Short Description” field for each custom option and for each value of select-type options in the product’s Customizable Options section.
- The option’s short description is shown below the option title on the product page.
- When a value with its own short description is selected (drop-down, radio button or checkbox), the text below the option title changes to the value’s description.
- New product attribute “Options Description” (with editor) for a text that is displayed above all options of the product.
- Short descriptions and the options description can be translated per store view.
Configuration
Open a product in the admin and enter the texts in the “Short Description” fields under Customizable Options. Switch the scope to a store view to enter translations. The “Options Description” is maintained like other product attributes; if it does not appear in your attribute set, add it to the attribute set first. There are no global settings.
Good to know
For multiple selects and several ticked checkboxes, only one value description is shown at a time. For larger explanations with an image, see Catalog Product Option Info.
