Objects
Tags
Filters
1. Objects
Objects dynamically output data or variables and are wrapped in double curly braces.
For example:
{{ product }}Inside this object, there are properties or attributes you can use with dot notation:
{{ product.title }}
This renders the product title and updates dynamically based on the product URL.
Need help? Use the Liquid Cheat Sheet—it’s been my best friend for years.
2. Tags
Tags are the logic of Liquid, allowing you to manipulate data and define conditions.
Example of control flow:
{% if product.available %} This product is in stock! {% else %} Sorry, this product is sold out. {% endif %}
Tags include iteration, variable assignment, capture, include, and comment tags. Each tag serves a specific purpose, helping you manage and organize your templates.
3. Filters
Filters modify the output of objects and variables, used with a pipe
|
. Example:{{ product.price | money }}Outputs: $20.00
Wrapping up
Liquid powers Shopify’s dynamic behavior, making themes highly customizable. If you’re curious about JSON, that’s a story for another day—it’s used for section settings.
Thank you so much for reading. Let me know if this was helpful!

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions i usually get asked. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out at abdo@abdowebdesign.com
How are you so fast and so good at the same time?
the tight deadlines when working for companies and agencies forced me to deliver high-quality work at a fast speed. I did lose some hair as a cost of that 😄, but it taught me how to deliver high-quality service on time.
How could you be so young and so good at the same time?
Simple: I started early, learned a lot, and received mentorship. I was hard-working and paid attention to the details.
Why not hire a reputable agency?
Hiring a reputable agency is a great option, but I’ve worked for many agencies and found that projects can often get dragged out, as their focus is split across many projects.
