Section tutorials

Custom Liquid

Place merchant-maintained Liquid content in an existing template without changing the section source.

Where to find it

In Online Store → Themes, open the unpublished theme editor, choose a compatible template, then Add section → Custom Liquid. Availability follows the selected template and section group.

Set it up

  1. Work in an unpublished theme copy and add Custom Liquid where the content belongs.
  2. Enter the code you intend to maintain in Custom Liquid. Page-specific resources are only available where the selected template supplies them.
  3. Choose section width, color scheme and top/bottom spacing around the custom output.
  4. Preview the output on its intended page and device sizes before saving. Keep a separate copy of your custom code for future updates.

Content and media

  • This section does not provide an image picker for the custom output. Any media inside that output is managed by the code you supply.

Check the mobile layout

  • Custom markup needs its own responsive layout. Check long text, embeds and fixed widths rather than assuming the section wrapper makes them responsive.

Common questions and fixes

  • No output appears: check the code and whether its required page resource exists in this template.
  • The page becomes too wide: inspect fixed widths or embedded content in the supplied markup.

Full control reference

Names, choices, ranges and defaults below are read from this version of the theme. Defaults are starting examples, not promises about your business. Some controls appear only for the matching layout. Block contents and preset starting values can differ from the base defaults.
