What is a Liquid Section Tag?

The Liquid section tag is a powerful feature within Shopify themes that allows developers to create customizable sections. These sections can be added, removed, and reordered within the Shopify theme editor, offering flexibility in how content is displayed on a store's front end.

How to Use a Liquid Section Tag

To utilize a Liquid section tag, you need to create a new section file within the sections directory of your Shopify theme. The file should have a .liquid extension, and its content will define what can be customized in the Shopify admin interface.

Understanding the Schema

The schema is a JSON object enclosed within {% schema %} and {% endschema %} tags. It defines the customizable settings for the section, including the types of input fields that will appear in the theme editor, such as text boxes, checkboxes, or image pickers.

Adding a Section to a Theme

Once you've created a section file and defined its schema, you can add the section to a page by editing the theme.liquid or any template file within the templates directory. You can use the {% section 'section-file-name' %} tag to include the section.

Benefits of Using Liquid Section Tags

Liquid section tags provide several benefits, including:

Flexibility: Easily rearrange sections without modifying code.
Customization: Allow store owners to personalize their storefronts.
Reusability: Create sections that can be used on multiple pages.
