Before making any changes, always create a backup of your theme. This ensures you can revert back to the original settings if something goes wrong.
After making changes, test your product pages on different devices (desktop, tablet, mobile) to ensure the layout remains user-friendly and functional across all platforms.
Leverage PageFly’s customization options to add alternative elements or sections that can replace the default product details. This can include custom product descriptions, unique selling points, or customer reviews.
If your customers are used to seeing certain information in the product details section, consider communicating the changes through a site announcement or FAQ update to avoid confusion.
Keep abreast of any updates from Shopify or PageFly that might affect how product details can be managed. New features or updates might provide better ways to achieve the desired customization.
By following these tips and best practices, you can ensure that hiding the product detail section in Shopify enhances your store’s appearance and functionality without negatively impacting the customer experience.
