Shopify Liquid converter for production themes
Convert HTML into clean Shopify Liquid templates and OS 2.0 sections—complete with schema, blocks, and scoped styles.
Overview
Why use a dedicated Shopify Liquid converter?
Liquid output vs section output
This page addresses developers who think in Liquid templates broadly—not only section.liquid files. You may be converting partial markup for snippets, reusable cards, or template-specific bands that still need tags, filters, and safe output patterns.
Target audience
Theme developers maintaining Liquid across sections, snippets, and JSON templates; teams migrating from another platform where HTML exists but Liquid conventions do not; juniors learning how Shopify objects map to markup.
When a Liquid converter helps
When converting real sections, repetitive hand-typing of {{ section.settings.* }}, {% if %} guards, and image_url filters slows delivery. The converter keeps output consistent with OS 2.0 conventions so code review focuses on theme fit, not syntax.
When to write Liquid manually
Highly dynamic product templates with variant logic, cart line attributes, or metafield-driven layouts often need bespoke Liquid the converter cannot infer from static HTML. Use the converter for structure; hand-finish data bindings.
Mistakes we see in Liquid migrations
Treating checkbox schema values as strings ('true' instead of truthy checks). Outputting richtext with | escape (strips intended HTML). Looping collection.products without paginate on collection templates. Duplicating <script> tags inside {% for %} loops.
Workflow: HTML → Liquid → theme
Paste markup → enable schema export if section-bound → compare deterministic vs optional AI output → paste into theme → wire setting ids to match schema exactly → preview on the template where the object exists (product vs index).
Pre-merge validation
Confirm template context: product on product.json, not homepage. Run Theme Check. Verify routes.cart_url instead of hardcoded paths. Test empty settings (merchant saves before uploading images). Read Common Liquid Mistakes for debugging patterns.
