How Do I Create a Snippet in Shopify?

Last updated on January 13, 2023 @ 12:11 pm

A snippet is a small piece of code that you can insert into your Shopify theme. Snippets are typically used to display content from your Shopify store on other websites, or to customize the functionality of your Shopify theme.

To create a snippet, you first need to decide where you want the snippet to appear in your theme. For example, if you want to create a snippet to display your store’s products on another website, you would need to create a new file in the /snippets directory of your theme.

Once you have decided where you want the snippet to appear, you can start creating the snippet by adding the following code to the new file:

<!-- start snippet -->

<div>
{% for product in products %}
<h2>{{ product.title }}</h2>
<p>{{ product.description }} </p>
{% endfor %}
</div>

<!-- end snippet -->

PRO TIP: If you are planning to create a snippet in Shopify, be aware that there is a risk of creating duplicate content. Duplicate content can negatively affect your search engine optimization (SEO) and can even get you penalized by Google.

conclusion: Creating snippets in Shopify is a great way to customize your theme and add functionality. By adding a few lines of code, you can add content from your Shopify store to other websites or customize the functionality of your theme.
