Liquid Custom Pages

Understanding Liquid Custom Pages

Liquid custom pages in Shopify allow developers to create unique and tailored content using the Liquid templating language. These pages enable you to extend the functionality of your Shopify store and provide a more personalized experience for your customers. By creating custom pages, you can showcase content that is not tied to default Shopify page templates, such as custom landing pages, promotional content, or special offers.

Creating a Custom Page Template

To create a custom page in Shopify using Liquid, you need to first create a new template file. This file will be used to render the content of your custom page. Follow these steps to create a custom page template:

• Navigate to Online Store > Themes in your Shopify admin.
• Click Actions > Edit code on your current theme.
• Under the Templates directory, click Add a new template.
• Select page from the dropdown menu and name your template file (e.g., page.custom-template).

Assigning the Custom Template to a Page

Once you've created your custom template, you need to assign it to a page in your Shopify store. Here's how you can do it:

• Go to Online Store > Pages in your Shopify admin.
• Select the page you want to apply the custom template to, or create a new page.
• In the Template section, select your new template from the Template suffix dropdown (e.g., custom-template).
• Save the changes.

Your page will now be rendered using the custom template you created.

Using Liquid to Customize Content
