Stricter Liquid parsing for themes and theme app extensions
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
Starting January 13, 2026, Shopify is enforcing stricter Liquid parsing for all themes. This improves code quality, prevents syntax errors, and enables future Liquid enhancements. If your theme contains Liquid code that doesn't meet the stricter parsing requirements, we'll automatically rewrite those files to be compatible.
