How to Add a Custom Section Below Product Description in OpenCart?

Let's Inspire

August 10, 2025 18:40 Edited

Hi,

I’m using OpenCart 3.0.3.x and I want to add an extra section below the product description on the product page.

Ideally, I’d like to add some additional content like FAQs or a product care guide that appears below the main description but above the reviews.

I’m not sure if this can be done with layout settings or if I’ll need to modify the theme files. Has anyone done something similar or can guide me where to start?

Also, I’ve been thinking of adding short product videos or tutorials to the site. For making such videos, simple video editing apps like CapCut can help create basic but clear clips without needing much experience. It’s a good way to make product info easier to understand.

Thanks in advance.

  In OpenCart 3.0.3.x you won’t be able to add an extra section in that exact spot just through layouts—it requires a small theme file modification.

  The product page is controlled by catalog/view/theme/YOUR_THEME/template/product/product.twig. Inside that file you’ll see the product description block and then further down the reviews section.

  To add something in between, you can:

  1. Open product.twig.
  2. Locate the section that outputs {{ tab_description }} (that’s the description).
  3. Right after it, insert your custom block, for example:

  In OpenCart 3.0.3.x, the default layout system won’t let you insert a new section inside the product page between description and reviews. For that kind of placement, you’ll need to modify the theme files (or use an OCMOD/vQmod extension).

  I ran into a similar issue when customizing a restaurant menu site. You can add a new section below the product description by editing this file:

   

  catalog/view/theme/YOUR_THEME/template/product/product.twig

  Locate the line with {{ tab_description }} and insert your custom HTML block right after it — that’s the cleanest way to add content before the review section.

  I used this approach on a Qdoba-style digital menu project to display extra sections like “Ingredients” and “Spice Level.” Here’s the live example if you’d like to see how it looks:

  Oh yeah, I’ve tried that too just wanted to add a small section, and boom, lost my weekend in .tpl files. Best way? Edit the product.twig file and drop your section right after the main description. Perfect for FAQs, care guides, or your CapCut videos. And don’t forget to clear cache.

  Great question adding a custom section below the product description is definitely possible in OpenCart, and your use case (FAQs, care guides, tutorials, etc.) is one of the most common reasons people customize the product page.

  In OpenCart 3.0.3.x, the default layout system doesn’t allow you to add a new section on the product page between the description and reviews for visit more. To achieve that placement, you’ll need to edit the theme files directly or use an OCMOD/vQmod extension.
