The display of a product on an eCommerce website greatly matters. It all depends on the level of customer convenience, you have achieved in knowing about a product. You might have experienced a long description of products that are often ignored because it gives the impression of a reading a long text.
To divide the long text into short chunks of useful information, the most useful strategy is to segregate them in tabs. For example, creating separate tabs for a short description, key features, benefits, how it works makes it more presentable and engaging for the user. In WooCommerce, this can be achieved either by altering the code or simply installing a plugin.
For coding, you will need to consider hiring an expert, communicate the addition of a custom tab and wait until it creates, test and adds the code to your store. Furthermore, in the near future, if you need to add more tabs to the products, you will have to avail his services over and again.
