add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_data_tabs', 'my_custom_product_tab', 10, 1 );
?>

function of this filter written in this plugin file –

/woocommerce/includes/admin/meta-boxes/class-wc-meta-box-product-data.php

This filter includes –

$tabs = apply_filters(
    'woocommerce_product_data_tabs',
    array(
        'general'        => array(
            'label'    => __( 'General', 'woocommerce' ),
            'target'   => 'general_product_data',
            'class'    => array( 'hide_if_grouped' ),
            'priority' => 10,
        ),
        'inventory'      => array(
            'label'    => __( 'Inventory', 'woocommerce' ),
            'target'   => 'inventory_product_data',
            'class'    => array( 'show_if_simple', 'show_if_variable', 'show_if_grouped', 'show_if_external' ),
            'priority' => 20,
        ),
        'shipping'       => array(
            'label'    => __( 'Shipping', 'woocommerce' ),
            'target'   => 'shipping_product_data',
            'class'    => array( 'hide_if_virtual', 'hide_if_grouped', 'hide_if_external' ),
            'priority' => 30,
        ),
        'linked_product' => array(
            'label'    => __( 'Linked Products', 'woocommerce' ),
            'target'   => 'linked_product_data',
            'class'    => array(),
            'priority' => 40,
        ),
        'attribute'      => array(
            'label'    => __( 'Attributes', 'woocommerce' ),
            'target'   => 'product_attributes',
            'class'    => array(),
            'priority' => 50,
        ),
        'variations'     => array(
            'label'    => __( 'Variations', 'woocommerce' ),
            'target'   => 'variable_product_options',
            'class'    => array( 'show_if_variable' ),
            'priority' => 60,
        ),
        'advanced'       => array(
            'label'    => __( 'Advanced', 'woocommerce' ),
            'target'   => 'advanced_product_data',
            'class'    => array(),
            'priority' => 70,
        ),
    )
);

To add a custom product data tab in WooCommerce, you can use the woocommerce_product_data_tabs filter along with the woocommerce_product_data_panels action. Here’s an example of how you can implement this:

// Add custom product data tab
function add_custom_product_data_tab($tabs) {
    $tabs['custom_tab'] = array(
        'label'    => __('Custom Tab', 'your-text-domain'),
        'target'   => 'custom_product_data',
        'class'    => array('show_if_simple', 'show_if_variable'),
    );
    return $tabs;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_product_data_tabs', 'add_custom_product_data_tab');

Now the second phase .  we need to add a panel box where the data of this product tab need to show

// Add custom product data panel
function add_custom_product_data_panel() {
    global $post;
    ?>
    <div id="custom_product_data" class="panel woocommerce_options_panel">
        <?php // Add your custom fields here ?>
    </div>
    <?php
}
add_action('woocommerce_product_data_panels', 'add_custom_product_data_panel');

it will look like this in product page

In this example, we’re adding a custom product data tab called “Custom Tab” and a corresponding panel with the ID “custom_product_data”. You can modify the label, ID, and classes according to your requirements.

To add your custom fields or content inside the panel, you can place them within the <div id="custom_product_data" class="panel woocommerce_options_panel"> tags.

Remember to replace 'your-text-domain' with your actual text domain for translation purposes if needed.

By using this code, you’ll have a new custom tab in the WooCommerce product editor, where you can add your own fields or content to collect or display additional product information.
