How to Add a Custom Tab to WooCommerce Product Pages with Code

WooCommerce product pages provide a lot of flexibility, and adding custom tabs is a great way to enhance the shopping experience. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to add a “Care Instructions” tab to your product pages using a custom code snippet.

Use a Child Theme

Ensure you’re working with a child theme to keep your customizations safe during updates. If you’re not already using one, create a child theme or use a plugin like Child Theme Configurator.

Add the Custom Tab Code

Insert the following code snippet into your child theme’s functions.php file:

function add_custom_care_instructions_tab( $tabs ) {
// Add the new tab
$tabs['care_instructions'] = array(
'title' => __( 'Care Instructions', 'your-textdomain' ),
'priority' => 50, // Position of the tab
'callback' => 'custom_care_instructions_content'
);

return $tabs;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'add_custom_care_instructions_tab' );

// Define the content of the custom tab
function custom_care_instructions_content() {
echo '<h2>Care Instructions</h2>';
echo '<p>To ensure the longevity of this product, please follow these care guidelines:</p>';
echo '<ul>
<li>Wash with cold water.</li>
<li>Do not bleach.</li>
<li>Air dry for best results.</li>
</ul>';
}
