Hey, shinteetahgmailcom, I’m another WooCommerce user.
You can address this issue by using a shortcode.
Here’s a tutorial that should explain how to use shortcodes:

It will require some custom coding via PHP.

Sorry for the delay in responding — I was giving a workshop and a conference back to back and wasn’t catching up here!
Thanks for the reply! I did think of shortcodes, but my tests did not work when placed within the product description. (I tested with an existing and functional shortcode I use elsewhere, so it wasn’t a coding error.) There may be a way to drop a shortcode into that box and have it read properly as a shortcode, but I’m not there yet.
Hello,
I understand that you would like to insert a pre-written, updatable paragraph into multiple product descriptions.
You can do that by importing the descriptions via CSV update, you can do the following:
- Navigate to Products > All Products > Export, to export your products (You can add the products to a category to make it easier to export them by category).
- Edit the CSV file, adding the product descriptions (You can add the description to one product before exporting it).
- Import the edited CSV file that has the descriptions to your site.
More info is available on our documentation for your reference:

I hope this helps.
