How to add FAQ accordion to your Shopify store using only CSS

by Mozammel Tarek

Shopify FAQ page isn’t just there to address common questions about your business. That’s only part of it. An FAQ “accordion” is the best way to display your online store customers. It allows the user to quickly and easily browse your faq without much scrolling. It’s pretty simple and just need to use CSS code! No need for any paid app. Edit the code for a theme if you know HTML and CSS. 

 

Step 1: Go to Online Store > Pages.

Step 2: Click Add page.

To edit the HTML code for the page, click the Show HTML button to view the HTML and make changes:

Then paste the following code:

.so-tab {

  • Just make the label bold with css → Set font-weight: bold for .so-tab label

    .so-tab label {
    position: relative;
    font-weight: bold;
    ****
    *
    }
