How can I do that?")* In the hikashop options of your products listing menu/module, you need to select the item box layout "image and description". Then, in the description of your products, you can add a read more tag. Only the text before the read more tag of the product description will be displayed. The full description will then be displayed on the product page.

You can find the hikashop options of your menu/module via the menu Display->Content menu/module in HikaShop.
