Product details

The Product details element is an essential feature for displaying product-specific information in your Shopify store. This element combines product media and information in a structured layout, making it essential for creating effective product pages.

Use cases: Use the Product details element for either:

✅ Product page template

✅ Sections like Featured product

How to add the Product details element to your page

Steps

  1. From the editor, click Add elements > Single product > Product details

  1. Drag it onto the canvas

  2. The element includes some essential components you need

  1. You can also edit/add more elements to display the information you want.

Before you customize your Product details

Depending on the page type/section type, make sure you follow the steps below before customizing the Product details section.

For product template, start with assigning products to your template. This way, the correct details are displayed on each individual product page.

Steps

  1. Click Assigned products from the Top bar.

  2. Choose how to apply the template:

    • Apply to specific products: Select individual products

    • Apply to all products: Template applies to your entire catalog

Do not assign a fixed product in the Product details element. If you do, all products using this template will show the same product. Instead, keep it as previewing only.

How to edit your Product details

A product details section usually contains 2 main parts:

Product media

The Product media section displays your product visuals and is crucial for customer engagement.

Media ratio

Determines the aspect ratio and cropping of your product images:

  • Adapt to media: Maintains original image proportions - prevents distortion but may create inconsistent sizing across different products.

  • Square (1:1): Forces all images into square format - creates uniform appearance, popular for social media consistency.

  • Portrait (3:4): Vertical rectangular format - ideal for tall products like clothing, bottles, or furniture.

  • Landscape (16:9): Horizontal rectangular format - works well for wide products like electronics, appliances, or home decor.

Interactives

  • Sticky on scroll: Keeps media visible while scrolling through product information - ensures customers can always reference the product image while reading details.

  • Enable effect fade: Shows fade effect when sliding through the product media. This setting is available for Carousel layout only.

  • Video looping: Automatically loops product videos - creates engaging, continuous product demonstrations without user interaction.

  • Hide thumbnails: Toggle thumbnail visibility for cleaner appearance - removes thumbnail navigation for minimalist design.

  • Hide carousel controls: Remove navigation arrows for minimal design - creates cleaner look but relies on touch/swipe navigation, best for mobile-optimized stores.
