How to Manage and Search Files in Shopify Testament Theme
Testament's accordion-style product tabs make it a natural place to link spec sheets, size guides, or care documents — but those files themselves live in Shopify's Files section.
Steps
- In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Files (some admin versions show this as Content > Files).
- Click Upload files and add your documents — Shopify accepts any file type except HTML, up to 20 MB each. Video files can go up to 1 GB, capped at 10 minutes, in MOV, MP4, or WEBM.
- Once uploaded, click a file to copy its public URL.
- Paste that URL into a product description, an accordion tab, or a navigation menu link — this is the only way customers reach it.
- Repeat per file. There's no bulk-link tool, so each one gets placed manually.
The real gap
Shopify's Files section is admin-only — there's no customer-facing search or browse view. Once you're linking more than a handful of documents across products, an app like Download Page & File Search MP adds a searchable file widget so customers aren't hunting through individual product pages to find one.
