Add tabs

  1. Add the sections you want as tabs, one after another.
  2. Add a Section tabs section directly above them.
  3. Set Create tabs for the next X sections to 2, 3 or 4.
  4. Type a title for each tab in Tab 1 title to Tab 4 title.
  5. Choose a Tab style, Simple or Switch, and click Save.

Getting it right

  • Keep the tabbed sections a similar height, so the page doesn’t jump when customers switch tabs.
  • Use the same kind of section in each tab, such as two image banners or two featured collections, so the switch feels natural.
  • Keep tab titles to one or two words.

The Section tabs section can also have its own heading and description above the tabs, and a color scheme.
