Liquid

Shopify's template language for building store themes.

E-commerce

How we use Liquid

Liquid is the open-source template language created by Shopify. Every Shopify theme is written in Liquid: it pulls products, collections, prices and settings from the store and turns them into HTML, while keeping store data safe from the template code.

How we use Liquid

  • Writing custom Shopify themes and Online Store 2.0 sections in Liquid, JSON templates and CSS.
  • Adding theme settings and blocks so your team can change layouts without touching code.
  • Building product page features such as size guides, bundles, badges and custom fields with metafields.
  • Cleaning up slow or messy theme code to improve speed and maintainability.

When Liquid is the right choice

Liquid is the right tool for anything that changes how a Shopify store looks or presents products. For logic that needs a server, such as complex discounts or integrations, we combine Liquid with Shopify apps, Shopify Functions or a headless Hydrogen front end.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit my Shopify theme without knowing Liquid?

Yes. We build Online Store 2.0 sections and settings so you can change text, images, colours and layouts in the theme editor. Liquid is only needed for new features or structural changes, which we handle for you.

Do theme customisations survive Shopify updates?

Shopify platform updates do not overwrite your theme. If you buy a third-party theme, its vendor updates can conflict with custom code, so we keep customisations organised and documented, or build a custom theme you fully control.
