Custom Liquid

This guide describes setting up the Custom Liquid section.

Use the section to add Liquid code, such as app snippets, to create advanced customizations for your store. Refer to Shopify developers: Liquid reference. We recommend hiring an expert if you're not comfortable editing Liquid code.

​

​The previous image shows a Custom Liquid section on a store's home page. In the upper right, part of Theme editor's section menu is displayed. The menu's Custom liquid box contains Liquid template language code. The Liquid code is rendered as a paragraph of text on the store's home page.

For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
