design and develop customers/order template by using liquid

Topic summary

A Shopify theme developer couldn’t display customer orders in Liquid: customer.orders_count always returned 0 despite placing test orders via the Bogus payment gateway. The goal was to build a customer orders page using the Order object in Liquid.

Key guidance:

  • Ensure you are logged into a customer account when checking customer-related objects.
  • Use customer.orders.size to detect orders and iterate over customer.orders to render details.

Working solution (via example code):

  • Check if customer.orders.size > 0, then loop through customer.orders and output fields such as order.id, order.email, order.name, and order.total_price.

Outcome:

  • The iteration approach using customer.orders.size worked and displayed orders correctly.
  • customer.orders_count continued to return 0; the thread did not resolve why, but the practical display issue was solved using the loop.

Status: Resolved for displaying orders; underlying discrepancy with orders_count remains unanswered.

Hi, I’ve built a Shopify theme from scratch and am currently working on designing the customer orders page. I’ve placed test orders using the Bogus payment gateway, but when I try to display the orders using Liquid (e.g., customer.orders_count), it always shows 0.

Could you guide me on how to properly work with the Order object in Liquid?

Hi @IoannisM ,

Did you login customer account when checking object for it?

And try ‘customer.orders.size’. For example code:

{%- if customer.orders.size > 0 -%}
  {%- for order in customer.orders -%}
    {% comment %} show code order here {% endcomment %}
  {%- endfor -%}
{%- endif -%}

Hi, I did the following and It worked.

{%- if customer.orders.size > 0 -%}
 {%- for order in customer.orders -%}
  {{ order.id }}
  {{ order.email }}
  {{ order.name }}
  {{ order.total_price}}
  {% comment %} show code order here {% endcomment %}
 {%- endfor -%}
{%- endif -%}

customer.orders_count still return zero, but it’s okay I am fine with the code above.
