How to fix error "Could not find asset snippets/product.liquid"

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A Shopify store’s index page displays a Liquid error on line 22 of the index-product section, indicating it cannot find the asset snippets/product.liquid.

Initial diagnosis:

  • Another user suggested the theme might be missing the product.liquid file from the Snippets folder
  • Recommended either creating the missing file or removing the problematic line of code

Resolution:

  • The original poster confirmed that product.liquid does exist in the snippets folder
  • Root cause identified: A syntax error—specifically an extra comma in the render statement
  • Removing the comma from the {% render 'product' %} markup resolved the issue

The problem was a simple formatting mistake rather than a missing file.

Hey, on the Index-Page in my Shopify shop, there is the following error displayed and I am not familiar enough with liquid to know how to fix it:

Liquid error (sections/index-product line 22): Could not find asset snippets/product.liquid

The code in Line 22 of sections/index-product is the following:

{% render 'product', product: product, section: section, unique: section.id %}

Your theme is missing product.liquid file in your Online store > Themes > Edit code > Snippets folder. Please create a product.liquid file or remove that line of code

There is a product.liquid file in the snippets folder.

The solution to the problem, is to remove the comma right behind the

render 'product'

statement.
