How to quickly add and fill tabs inside products in OpenCart 3 using IMTabs?

There is some information that, for user convenience, would be better placed in a separate tab within each product. Recommendations, FAQs, and so on. Such information is usually uniform.

However, OpenCart 3 does not allow creating custom tabs. This issue can be solved with the "IMTabs (OC 3) - Additional Product Tabs" module.

This module enables you to structure product page data by adding new tabs for categories or individual products. It significantly simplifies the store administrator's work and enhances user convenience.

For example, let's consider a situation where you need to create and populate an FAQ tab for the Monitors category.

What needs to be done?

Step 1. Open the "IMTabs (OC 3) - Additional Product Tabs" module from the modules list.

Step 3. Fill out the tab as needed, then save it. Enter the title FAQ, enable the status, and specify the sort order.

As you can see, adding and populating tabs in OpenCart with the IMTabs module is very simple. Additionally, you can always populate the necessary tabs individually for each product. For instance, create a general framework and adjust it as needed, or add as necessary.

The module also supports bulk tab generation based on filters and integration with various templates. This makes it an ideal tool for working with large product catalogs.
