What an FAQ component looks like in Shopify
FAQ modules on Shopify storefronts are almost always implemented as Online Store 2.0 sections—collapsible rows where each question and answer pair is either a block or an indexed setting. Merchants add shipping policies, sizing guidance, and product care details without opening a code editor.
When you convert FAQ HTML to Liquid, the goal is not to preserve frozen copy. It is to expose every question and answer as editable fields while keeping the accordion behavior, spacing, and typography your design specifies.
Why schema and blocks matter for FAQs
A flat FAQ with twelve hardcoded Q&A pairs becomes unmaintainable the moment a merchant wants to reorder rows or add a thirteenth question. Block-based schema solves this: each FAQ item is a block with question and answer settings, and the Liquid loops over section.blocks to render the accordion.
The "{% schema %}" block defines block types—typically faq_item with text and richtext fields—plus section-level settings for heading, intro copy, and open-first behavior. Presets seed three to five starter questions so the section is useful on first insert.
Common FAQ customization patterns
Dawn and most OS 2.0 themes use details/summary or button-triggered accordions with aria attributes for accessibility. Your converted section should preserve those semantics while swapping static text for {{ block.settings.question }} and {{ block.settings.answer }} output.
Responsive behavior usually stacks full-width rows on mobile with touch-friendly tap targets. Scoped CSS with section.id keeps accordion borders and animation styles from leaking into other theme sections.
Merchant editing in the theme editor
Once exported, merchants see a clear block list in the sidebar—add FAQ item, drag to reorder, edit question text inline, and update answers in a richtext field. That workflow is why agencies convert FAQ HTML to Liquid instead of leaving copy hardcoded in the template.
HTMLToLiquid Converter detects repeating Q&A rows in your HTML, maps them to block candidates, and outputs production-ready section files with validation checks on schema structure and scoped styles.
Examples
FAQ HTML to Liquid conversion example
A concise look at how static FAQ markup becomes editable Shopify section code.
HTML structure
<div class="faq-item"> <button class="faq-q">Shipping times?</button> <div class="faq-a">3–5 business days.</div> </div>
Repeating .faq-item rows signal block candidates—the converter counts identical structures to propose a block type.
Liquid output
"{% for block in section.blocks %}"
<details class="faq-item">
<summary>{{ block.settings.question }}</summary>
<div>{{ block.settings.answer }}</div>
</details>
{% endfor %}Static text becomes block.settings references inside a loop merchants control from the editor.
Schema settings
"blocks": [{
"type": "faq_item",
"name": "FAQ item",
"settings": [
{ "type": "text", "id": "question", "label": "Question" },
{ "type": "richtext", "id": "answer", "label": "Answer" }
]
}]Each block type exposes typed settings the theme editor renders as form fields.
Section settings
"settings": [
{ "type": "text", "id": "heading", "label": "Heading" },
{ "type": "checkbox", "id": "open_first", "label": "Open first item" }
]Section-level settings control the module heading and accordion behavior independent of block rows.
