How Do I Create a Custom Shopify Template?

Customizing your shop’s theme is a great way to stand out from the competition and give your customers a unique experience. Luckily, Shopify makes it easy to create a custom template.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps of creating a custom Shopify template.

First, you’ll need to create a new file in your theme’s folder. You can do this by going to the “Themes” section of your Shopify admin, clicking on the “Actions” drop-down menu for your theme, and selecting “Edit code.”

Next, you’ll need to choose a name for your new template file. We recommend something descriptive like “custom-template.liquid” so that you’ll remember what it is for later. Once you’ve chosen a name, click “Create new file” and enter it in the “Filename” field.

Now that you have a new file, it’s time to start adding code. The first thing you’ll need to do is add the following line at the top of your file:

{% include ‘header’ %}

This line tells Shopify to include the header file from your theme so that your custom template will have the same header as the rest of your shop. If you want to change the header for just this template, you can do that by editing the header file in your theme.

The next thing you’ll need to do is add some content for your custom template. This can be anything you want, but we recommend starting with something simple like this:

{{ content_for_layout }}

This will display the content of your page in the same spot on the page as other templates in your theme. If you want to change where the content appears on the page, you can do that by editing the CSS for your theme.

   Include default sections by adding {% include ‘filename’ %} where filename is replaced with one of these options: header , footer , or product.
   For example: {% include ‘header’ %}. You can also override sections defined in other places in your theme.

Customize default sections or create new ones using Liquid tags.

You can use Liquid tags and variables to customize or create new sections for custom templates. Here are some examples.

To display collection images on collection pages:

{% if collection.images.size > 0 %}
{% for image in collection.images %}
<img src=”{{ image | product_img_url: ‘medium’ }}” alt=”{{ image.alt | escape }}” />
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

{{ product.description }}

(use collection handle)(use limit) (use random order) (from all products) (or featured products only) (or specific products only)
