What it does
Product pages often need more room than the standard Description, Additional Information and Reviews tabs provide. Shipping details, dimensions, user guides, videos and forms all need a home, and adding them usually means editing theme files or writing code. This plugin moves that work into a visual drag-and-drop interface inside WooCommerce, so you can add, reorder, rename or remove tabs without touching templates.
It works on a few levels. Global tabs apply across your store or to chosen product categories, and a default layout keeps tab order consistent everywhere. When one product needs something different, you can override the layout for that item alone. The plugin also detects tabs added by other plugins, so you can hide, reorder or merge them alongside the core WooCommerce tabs. It requires WooCommerce.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores with detailed product specifications
- Shops that share shipping or care info across categories
- Developers building WooCommerce sites for clients
Features
Drag-and-drop tab editor
Reorder, rename or remove product tabs through a visual interface, with no code or theme edits needed to change how tabs appear.
Global tabs
Create a tab once and apply it to many products, which cuts down on repetitive entry and keeps shared information consistent across the catalog.
Category-specific tabs
Target global tabs to particular product categories, so content like sizing notes or care instructions only shows where it is relevant.
Product-specific overrides
Give an individual product its own tab layout and content, overriding the store default when a single item needs different information.
Core and third-party tab control
Manage the native Description, Additional Information and Reviews tabs, and detect tabs added by other plugins so you can hide, reorder or merge them.
Searchable tab content
Include tab content in your site search results so shoppers can find information stored in tabs. It works with the Relevanssi search plugin.
Shortcodes and media in tabs
Embed videos, images, forms such as Gravity Forms and other shortcode-based content directly inside product tabs.
Default tab layout
Set one tab arrangement that applies store-wide, then allow per-product changes where needed to balance consistency with flexibility.

Questions about Tab Manager
Can I add a tab that appears on all products in one category?
Yes. You can create global tabs and target them to specific product categories, so the tab only shows on products in those categories. You can also apply global tabs across the whole store.
Will it work with tabs that other plugins add?
The plugin detects tabs added by third-party plugins and lets you hide, reorder or merge them alongside the core WooCommerce tabs, so all tabbed content can be managed from one place.
Can I put videos or forms inside a product tab?
Yes. Tabs support shortcodes, so you can embed videos, images, forms such as Gravity Forms and other dynamic content inside a tab.
Does the content in my tabs show up in site search?
You can include tab content in your site's search results, which helps shoppers find information kept in tabs. It is compatible with the Relevanssi search plugin.
