Liquid Tags in Themes

This page covers theme authoring patterns for Liquid tags. For full tag syntax and examples, see the Liquid tags reference.

{% render %}

Snippets are loaded from the snippets/ directory with {% render %}. Rendered snippets run in an isolated scope — variables from the parent template are not visible unless you pass them explicitly:

{% render 'product-card', product: product, show_vendor: true %}

Inside snippets/product-card.liquid:

<h3>{{ product.title }}</h3>
{% if show_vendor %}
  <span>{{ product.vendor }}</span>
{% endif %}

{% assign %} inside the snippet does not affect the parent template.

These tags are commonly used in storefront themes. See the reference for syntax:
