Have you ever wondered, what is this gibberish code that you see on screen when you open the code editor on your store 🤢
Well my friend, this is something called Liquid and in today's post, I'm going to explain exactly what is Liquid, how to use it, and break down the Liquid syntax step by step.
my name is Abdo and during the past three years I have worked with many shopify brands and i use liquid daily
So with that being said let's get started..
What the heck is liquid
Liquid is basically a templating language, it pulls data from a database and displays it on screen.
As you know, Shopify hosts your store’s data on a database.
And Liquid is pulling that data and displaying it. But not only that, Liquid is manipulating that data, which means you can hide some data, show some data, filter data, and loop through data—all through Liquid.
The Liquid Syntax
Alright, let's break down the Liquid syntax.
The liquid syntax splits into three different categories
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 the dot notation:
{{ product.title }}
This renders the product title and updates dynamically based on the product URL.
And if you need help with the syntax, 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.

That makes my work worth it
look, i understand, i have no reviews
and you are already probebly wondering now of weather iam a 3 dimentional scam or not
while its completely absolutely and artly your right to do that
BUT hold on
you see
i am still relatively new to the selling my services thing
although I have mastered the service delivery... thats true
and i can do it in super fast speed that you wont be able to see me... also thats true. kind of
but regardless
i cant PROVE that to you with a testimonial
and as i’ve said
it is your right to be spectacular
i dont blame you and i would’ve probably done the same
so what iam gonna do to encounter this issue is the following…
iam going to do a great discount for 80% on both the full store and the monthly retainer
YES 80%… eighty percent
and it would be for an extremly limited time
and the discount will gradually decrease as i start get testimonials and case studies from clients like you
fair?
perfect

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.
