Adding HTML with clickable links to my store?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner is attempting to add affiliate partner HTML links with clickable images to product listings for the first time but is uncertain about the correct implementation method.

Current situation:

  • Received HTML links from affiliate partner containing clickable images and text descriptions
  • Uploaded HTML files to the Assets folder but unsure if this is the correct location
  • Cannot locate the standard product.liquid file; instead has variations like product.grid-item.liquid, product.rv.liquid, product.quick-view.liquid, and product.json
  • Has product-template.liquid available in the Sections folder

Guidance provided:

  • Add links directly through Shopify admin product description (no coding required) by using “Insert link” or pasting HTML
  • If editing liquid files is necessary, use product-template.liquid in Sections
  • Confirmed Assets folder is appropriate for clickable images

Remaining question:
User has identified two potential locations in product-information.liquid for adding the code:

  1. <div class="product-information__section">
  2. <div class="product-information__content">

Awaiting recommendation on which section to use.

I am working with an affiliate partner, (first time). They emailed me the links to use in my listings, and after much reading and videos, I’m feeling like I might be overthinking this. I cannot figure out how to add this correctly.

In my Shopify theme-Edit Code for HTML; for my products inside my store, I don’t have any of the suggested file types for product.liquid. I have product.grid-item.liquid, product.rv.liquid, product.quick-view.liquid, and product.json, these are all under the templates list. Under the sections list I have; product-template.liquid

Three of my HTML’s have a clickable image and the text description. I added these to the Assets folder along with my Banner images. I don’t know if they belong there.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Do these: Add HTML links in Shopify Admin (no coding needed):

Go to your product in Shopify admin

In the description box, click “Insert link” or paste the HTML code they provided

Save

And If you must edit liquid files:
Use product-template.liquid (in Sections)

Look for the product description section

Add the HTML links there

For clickable images:

Upload to Assets folder

Everything loaded smoothly. I found 2 places that could be the product description/product info section, in the tab for >product-information.liquid. 1)

For possible hint on which to use?

Thanks for your help.

I found 2 places that could be used for

product-information.liquid.

“product-information__section” and

“product-information__content”

Which one do you think should I try?
