Main.product.liquid not showing under Sections directory

Hi guys, I’m trying to access the main.product.liquid file which I understand to reside under the Sections directory, but I’m not able to see it. I’ve come across an old thread here which suggested to use product.json, but is there a reason why I’m not able to see the main.product.liquid file? I have the Shopify basic store account. I’m not sure if I need to upgrade to Shopify2.0, but some insight would be greatly received.

Here’s a link to the other thread which I was able to find some information on, but not the answer to my question:

Depending on the theme, and the age, you might have different files in place compared to others. If nothing is broken that shouldn’t concern you but does mean you shouldn’t be too quick to copy and paste code or follow things you see here to the letter.

If you don’t see the file then it’s likely you have a different version of the theme, or a totally different theme than what’s mentioned in that other post.

Hard to know what theme you have without seeing an example, though you should be able to see the theme info that might reveal it!

Thanks Jason,

Yeah no, it definitely looks like it’s the liquid theme. I’m just a bit lost at the minute and can’t seem to find any concrete solutions/guidance online

ok so if anybody finds this in the future, the solution for me was to enter my code on static-product.liquid (I wanted to add GTM ecommerce tracking per product) and it printed the desired output for each line item on the order confirmation page.
