Why there is an Additional Information Tab on the Product page?

By default, there is no additional information tab on product page, but when the shipping information is added to that product, like dimensions ( Length, Height, Width ), the weight of the product, or any other additional attributes, etc. Then in PHP code files, the product-attributes.php template adds this information in the additional information tab, and it starts appearing on the WooCommerce product page.

Why to remove Additional Information tab in WooCommerce?

We know that the additional information tab displays the details of the product, such as weight dimensions, etc. For physical products, it’s helpful to have this information displayed, but what about non-physical products such as courses, software, or any other things that are not physical.

There are two methods that can disable the Additional Information Tab in WooCommerce; let’s discuss them.

1) Remove Additional Information Tab With PHP Code

    unset( $tabs['additional_information'] );
    return $tabs;
