We do not support code customizations. This guide offers a basic reference for developers and advanced users familiar with HTML and Liquid. Always test code changes on unpublished theme copies. For assistance, we recommend reaching out to a .

With the Custom Liquid setting, you can extend your theme by adding snippets of Liquid or HTML code as a block or section in the theme editor.

The Custom Liquid block provides a reliable and safer option compared to directly editing your theme code. It will help keep your theme copy eligible for updates and avoid conflicts with the original theme code.

Liquid is the template language used by Shopify. See their to learn more. Also check out Shopify's .

Add Custom Liquid section


In your Shopify admin:

  1. Click Duplicate on your current theme.

  2. Click Customize on the duplicated, unpublished theme version.

In your theme editor:

Click (+) Add section and select Custom Liquid. Use the drag-and-drop handles ⋮⋮ to re-order blocks. Click the section to start customizing.

Add anchor links to sections


Shopify dynamically generates ids for sections but these ids are not stable. The following instructions are a workaround for this platform limitation.

To link to a specific section on a page, you can use a Custom Liquid section with some HTML as a workaround. The HTML will include a special id property that will allow you to link directly to that section.

Once set up, the Custom Liquid section will not affect the page layout.

Anchor link in the Header doesn't work?

If your anchor link in the navigation menu points to a section on the same page, you will need to disable page transitions for the link to work. Go to Theme settings > Animation and deselect Enable page transitions.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Under Template, click (+) Add section and select Custom Liquid.

  2. Click and hold the drag and drop handles ⋮⋮ to move the Custom Liquid section directly above the section you want to link to.

  3. Click the Custom Liquid section to open the settings.

  4. Enter the following HTML code and enter a unique id property in the opening tag. If using multiple words, you must use dashes (-) instead of spaces.

    <span id="our-values"></span>

    Recommended: Use an ID that's the same name as your section, and make sure the name is not used by other IDs.

  5. Under Section style, move the Top spacing and Bottom spacing sliders to 0px to remove any whitespace from appearing on the page.

  6. Find and click the section or block that will link to the Custom Liquid section.

  7. In the link field, enter the id with a hashmark at the start (e.g. #our-values).

    To link from another page or menu link, you must enter the full URL path with the anchor link at the end (e.g. www.store.com/#our-values or www.store.com/about#our-values).

  8. If adding the anchor link to the navigation menu, you will need to disable Page transitions in Theme settings > Animation. Otherwise, the link will not work for sections that are on the current page.

  9. Click Save.
