Product subtitles

Subtitles are short texts that are displayed on the product list and also on the product details page in your store. You can highlight important information in this field like promotion information, product target audience, ingredients (especially useful for restaurants), free shipping availability, etc.

You can add subtitles for any products you like right on the product page in your Sauecommerce admin or in bulk. It is also possible to provide product subtitles in different languages if your catalog is multilingual.

You can add short descriptions for individual products or in bulk. After you do that, they will be visible right away: in the product grid on your storefront, under the product name, and in the special section inside your product details page.
To add subtitle to a product:

The text of your subtitles is “searchable”. For example, if your customers search for products using the phrase 'Free Shipping' in your store, in the search results they will see all the products that you've tagged with the Free Shipping subtitle.

Subtitles help your customers to get more information about product advantages. You can showcase all the catchy information in these short descriptions. If you are using additional storefront languages, you can create subtitles in various languages for any of your products.
To add/change texts of your product subtitles:

If you have a multilingual catalog, you can also leave translation fields for your subtitles empty. This way, the texts of your short descriptions will be shown in your store’s default language.

By default, subtitles are displayed on your product list as fixed, always visible text. But you can choose to display short descriptions only if your customer hovers a mouse over the product picture in the grid. The rest of the time subtitles will be invisible on your storefront:

To set up how subtitles display on your product list:

1. From your Sauecommerce admin, go to Design.
2. Scroll down to Product Card details and layout.
3. In the Product subtitle drop-down menu, choose Show or Show on mouse hover.

The changes will be autosaved.

By default, subtitles are displayed on your product list. Another place where customers see them is your product details page:

It is possible to display subtitles only on the storefront or only on the product details page, if you want to show them only in one place.

To turn off subtitles on the product details page:

1. From your Sauecommerce admin, go to Design.
2. Scroll to Product Page layout.
3. In the Sidebar section, find and untick Product subtitle checkbox.

The changes will be autosaved.

To turn off subtitles on your storefront:

1. From your Sauecommerce admin, go to Design.
2. Scroll down to Product Card details and layout.
3. In the Product subtitle drop-down menu, choose Do not show.

You can remove subtitles for individual products or in bulk. For example, the new arrival in your store has become part of your regular catalog, and the subtitles can no longer be useful.

To delete a subtitle for your product:

You can easily add, update, or delete product subtitles in bulk using Sauecommerce's Bulk Product Editor.

If you have a large catalog that is difficult to update or you want to have products with the same subtitles in several Sauecommerce stores, you can also use CSV export and import to add, update or delete your product subtitles in bulk. After the import is complete, your subtitles will be updated automatically.
