# Custom Tabs

Do you wish to create beautiful tabbed content for your product pages?

You can create any number of tabs to display in the product page. You can enter any type of content, like features, videos, and more. You can enter the content for the tabs while creating/editing your product itself. You can create the content quickly by using the Editor.
