    I’m looking for a way for the additional information to only show the information for the chosen variation. The same way it works for the product dimensions. We have various products with attributes that are different for each variation its difficult to understand which one it relates to and would like to only show the attributes for the chosen variation.

    The link attached shows a radiator where the variation is size. The different sized radiators have different pipe centres, btu and watts. The additional information lists every variations attribute and it is difficult for the consumer to correspond to the relevant product.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @deputydoug! I understand you want to have a way of showing unique additional information for each variation.

    I think the variation “description” field is what you’re looking for here. This is unique to each variation and will only be displayed when that variation is selected. You can see where this field is here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/variable-product/#section-7

    Hi Austin,

    Thanks for your reply. We use the attribute description already.

    We are looking to reduce the information in contained in the additional information box so it only contains the information relevant to that product. Currently it is very confusing for the customers.

    Thanks

    Hi Doug,

    Thanks for clarifying. The default behavior of the additional information section is to show all attributes of the product and possible values for those attributes. If you’d like to change this, you’d need to either hide the additional information section completely and only rely on the variation descriptions, or write some custom code to change the additional information section when a user selects a variation.

    To hide the tab completely, you can use one of the methods outlined here. This would be the simpler of the two solutions.

    To customize it, you’d need to write some custom code. Someone might respond here with some advice on custom code to use, but, if not, we have a customizations page with resources for contacting a developer for help. You can also ask about this on the WooCommerce Slack Community or WooCommerce FB group which are great places for customization questions like this.

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any further questions!
