The Category Additional Description module for OpenCart 3 adds a new multilingual text field description2 to each category. This allows you to place more SEO content at the bottom of category pages without the need to edit the main description.
The main idea of the module is that the standard category description is usually placed at the top of the page, before the products, while the additional description is displayed at the bottom, after the product list. This structure allows for better content organization: a short introductory part at the top attracts visitors' attention, while detailed information at the bottom is available to those who are genuinely interested.
The module is especially useful for SEO optimization, as it allows you to add more unique text to the category page without overloading the top part of the page. You can use the additional description to place detailed product characteristics, selection tips, brand information, promotional offers, or any other content that will increase the page value for visitors and search engines.
The module is created for OpenCart version 3.x and uses OCMOD for system integration. During installation, the module adds a description2 field of TEXT type to the category_description table. When uninstalling the module, this field is automatically removed.
Extension installation instructions:
Upload the module in the admin panel in the "Extensions" : "Install".

Go to the "Dashboard" section and update the template cache (only for OpenCart 3).
Go to the "Extensions" : "Extensions" : "Modules" and enable the module.
