Main product section
The main product section is one of the most unique sections to the Whisk theme. On large desktop screens, the layout is 3 columns, then it collapses to 2 columns on smaller screens, and is only 1 column on mobile. In order to make this work seamlessly and keep the content in a good order for shoppers, the blocks on this section work a little differently than elsewhere. Let's start with going over the blocks in this section.
Blocks
Product title
Font style
Choose the font that you want the product title to display in.
Font size
Select the size of the text for the title.
Description
This is the product description that is entered for each product in the Shopify admin. There are no customizable settings for this block.
Share
You can choose which social media share buttons you want to show by checking the box next to that platform option. The options are:
- Twitter or X (you can choose which icon to display)
There is also a button to copy the page url link to the computer's clipboard. This button will always display if this block is selected.
Price
Displays the product price. This price will automatically update when different variants with different prices are selected, and will show an original price crossed out next to the current selling price if the product is on sale. If your store in configured to have taxes included in the price of items, then a note will display here that reads, "Tax included." If you have a Shipping policy filled out for your store in the Shopify admin, a message will also show underneath the price that says "Shipping calculated at checkout" and it will be a link to your full Shipping policy. Example:
Show shop pay installment terms
You can choose to show Shop pay installment terms underneath the price if Shop pay is enabled for your store and by checking this box.
Vendor
No customizable settings here. It will just display the product vendor name.
Product subtitle
Displays the product subtitle for the product. For more information, see the documentation for Product subtitle.
Custom liquid
Add your own Liquid or HTML code here. See the Custom liquid documentation for more details.
Divider
This block adds a visual divider line with space above and below it. This is useful if you want help differentiating many blocks of content. Make sure your divider line looks good on all screen sizes as the layout shifts from 3, to 2, to 1 column.
Details tab
Details tabs are the place to add custom content for your products, like ingredients, nutrition facts, sizing information, etc. They support images, text, and even page content. They can do so much, they deserved their own documentation. Learn more about how to configure Details tabs.
Details tabs will always show after every other block in this section, even if they are organized in the Shopify theme editor to be above them. This is intentional in order to keep the product form and shopping buttons higher up on the page on smaller screens when the layout is 1 or 2 columns. The detail tabs themselves will display in the order they are in the theme editor.
Apps
You can add apps through this block. On the Whisk demo stores, we use this to show the star ratings for Shopify's Product Reviews app.
Settings
Show breadcrumbs
Check this box to show breadcrumb links above the product information. The breadcrumbs will show the collection page that the visitor was on before they arrived on the product page if they came from a collection page. If not, they'll just see a link back to "Home".
Details tabs style
You can choose either to show the details tabs as Accordions or Buttons. Here's an example of each:
Accordions — Accordions are all collapsed by default.
