The mobile product details page is the main page where single products are viewed by the customer. Products are displayed with their name, picture, price, stock availability, and description. The product picture is larger on the product details page than it is on other store pages, enabling the customer to observe the product picture in more detail. The customer can add the product to the shopping cart or wish list, select a product to compare, check the product availability, and select the previous and next product in the category.
