How to Install a Custom Liquid Section into Your Shopify Theme

Add Any Custom Liquid Section to Your Shopify OS 2.0 Theme

Adding a custom liquid section to your Shopify theme might sound technical, but with OS 2.0 it's straightforward — even if you've never touched theme code before. This guide walks you through the full process.

Watch the video walkthrough:


What You'll Need

  • A Shopify store running an OS 2.0 compatible theme (Dawn, Sense, Craft, etc.)
  • A .liquid section file to install
  • Access to your Shopify theme code editor

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. In your Shopify Admin, go to Online Store → Themes
  2. Click ⋯ (Actions) → Edit Code on your active theme
  3. Open the /sections folder and click Add a new section
  4. Paste in your liquid file content and click Save
  5. Open the Theme Editor (Customize) and add the new section to any page template
  6. Configure the section settings and publish

Pro Tips

  • Always duplicate your theme before making code changes — it's your safety net
  • Test in the theme editor preview before going live
  • OS 2.0 sections are drag-and-drop once installed, so no further coding is needed
