Improve mobile experience

On mobile devices space is limited. Prevent customers from having to swipe past text to see more products or important selling points.

Fundamental UI/UX enhancement

Allowing customers to toggle long text is fundamental to a good user experience. No site should be without it.

Reclaim above the fold space

Above the fold space is precious. Long text shouldn't displace other conversion driving content like products, specs, and social links

About Toggle Description

A Fundamental User Interface Enhancement That No Site Should Be Without

The Toggle Description app allows you to manage the appearance of long text on your site by adding customizable "show more" and "show less" links to text that exceeds a maximum number of words or characters. When users click on these links the text will be shown or collapsed.

Having the ability to toggle long product and collection descriptions greatly improves your site's user interface —especially on mobile devices— and allows you to reclaim the precious above the fold space with more conversion driving content.

Does not affect SEO!

No coding required.

Already Using Tabs or Accordions, Size Charts, Etc..? No Problem!

Toggle Description can collapse text anywhere, even within description enhancements generated by others apps.

Effective Ways to Promote Your Site and Drive Sales With the Reclaimed Above the Fold Space

Here are some suggestions on what can be done with the reclaimed above the fold space:

  • Show related products or promotions
  • Show links to size charts, product specification, etc...
  • Show more pictures
  • Make social sharing buttons more prominent

Contacted support with a question about using the toggle on collection pages and never got a response. I was able to figure it out though. In case anyone would like to use on collection pages just add a class to your

like class="product-single__description" and you will see the effect. It would be really nice to toggle this feature on/off for collection pages independently from product descriptions with a different character amount.

App does a great job at shortening descriptions on the product page and it can also shorten descriptions on the collection pages with a small piece of code implemented which the support team were great at guiding.
The only downside is you can't have one description length for your product pages and another for your collection pages. If you only want to show the first 30 words it does this on both pages.
Will be keeping a close eye on our metrics to see if Google penalises us for shortening the text or if they pick up on all the text/content that is beyond the truncated snippet.

I like this app so far but wished it was more than 1 day free trial. Even 3 day free trial would have been better. Some of us are not available for only one day to test it out. However, the price is fair. Would recommend to others.

Hello, thank you for the feedback. We're always listening to our users and have recently changed the trial period to 3 days. We're always happy to offer an extension to accommodate shops that need more than 3 days to evaluate the app.
