How Do I Write Code on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:33 pm

Assuming you want to add custom code to your Shopify store, there are a few ways to do so. The first is to use the Shopify Customizer, which allows you to add code directly to your theme. The other way is to use a third-party app, like Code Snippets.

In the Customizer, you can access the code editor by going to Online Store > Themes > Edit code. From there, you can edit the theme.liquid file, which is the main template file for your Shopify theme. You can also add new files and folders, and edit existing ones.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to write code on Shopify, it is important to be aware of the potential risks involved.

Shopify is a powerful ecommerce platform, but it is also complex. If you are not careful, you could end up causing serious damage to your store.

Before you start writing code, be sure to back up your store and test your changes on a staging environment. This will help to ensure that you do not break anything in your live store.

If you are not comfortable writing code, or if you are not sure what you are doing, it is best to hire a professional to help you. Trying to write code on Shopify without proper knowledge or experience can lead to disastrous results.

If you’re not comfortable working with code, or if you don’t want to risk breaking your site, we recommend using a third-party app like Code Snippets. With Code Snippets, you can add custom code to your shop without having to edit your theme files.

To use Code Snippets, simply install the app and then add your code snippets in the app’s interface. Once you’re done, hit Save and your code will be live on your shop.

Adding custom code to your Shopify store is a great way to customize your shop and make it look unique. With a little bit of coding knowledge, you can really make your shop stand out from the rest.
