Using liquid markup

Liquid is the engine of Shopify's customization. It’s a small and fast template language which is quick to learn but very powerful for full customization.

Basics

There are two types of markup in liquid: Output and Tag.

  • Output is surrounded by
     {{ two curly brackets }} 
  • Tags are surrounded by
     {% a curly bracket and a percent %} 

Output blocks will always be replaced with the data which they reference. If your liquid template has a product object exposed to it you can print the name of the product to the screen by referencing {{ product.title }}.

Tags drive the logic of templates. They are responsible for loops and branching logic such as If / Else.
