How to customize the theme code?

Hey @parida

To customize your Shopify theme code, here’s the general path most people take:

  1. Go to your Shopify admin → Online Store → Themes

  2. Find the theme you want to customize, click “Actions” → “Edit code”

From here, you’ll see all the theme files split into sections like:

  • Sections (.liquid files for things like product, collection, header, footer)
  • Snippets (reusable bits of code)
  • Assets (CSS, JavaScript, images)
  • Templates (overall page structures like product.liquid, collection.liquid)

You can make changes directly in these files, but it’s smart to duplicate your theme first (via Actions → Duplicate) so you have a backup in case anything breaks.
