Open a specific product tab programmatically in a Woocommerce - php

Question

I am using woocommerce. After submission of certain form I want to send it to product page with opening a certain tab, here "Addition Information" tab...
How can I achieve this ?
I have tried url like 'WEBSITE/product/product-3/#tab-additional_information'
But it didn't worked.

Updated:
Yes this is possible with a little bit of javascript and jQuery embedded code in a custom php function hooked in wp_footer action hook.
The call will be made in the url like: WEBSITE/product/product-3/?tab=additional_information
Here is that function code:
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'custom_reordering_product_tabs_action' );
function custom_reordering_product_tabs_action() {
// Only in single product pages and a specific url (using GET method)
if( isset( $_GET['tab'] ) && is_product()) :
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($){
setTimeout(function() {
$('ul.tabs.wc-tabs > li.active').removeClass("active");
$('div#tab-description').hide();
$('ul.tabs.wc-tabs > li.<?php echo $_GET['tab']; ?>_tab').addClass("active");
$('div#tab-<?php echo $_GET['tab']; ?>').show();
}, 500);
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
endif;
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.
This code is tested on Woocommerce 3+ and works
May be what you can do instead of open a product tab automatically, is to reorder in 1st position automatically that tab trough $_GET method (adding a variable in the url).
The call in your url will need to be like: WEBSITE/product/product-3/?tab=additional_information
You will be able to do it with that custom function hooked in woocommerce_product_tabs filter hook:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'custom_reordering_product_tabs_action', 98 );
function custom_reordering_product_tabs_action( $tabs ) {
if( empty( $_GET['tab'] ) ) return $tabs;
$tabs[$_GET['tab']]['priority'] = 2;
return $tabs;
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.
