Convert your Theme
Liquify provides several methods to manage and maintain your Shopify theme. It’s crucial to ensure that your content originates from Shopify, keeping your Webflow project as minimal as possible (e.g., assets should be managed in Shopify, not uploaded to Webflow).
The most efficient way to handle your Shopify theme is through our GitHub integration. By connecting your Liquify project to a GitHub repository and linking the repository to Shopify, you streamline your workflow. The following paragraphs will explain these methods in detail.
How to Connect to Github
Follow these steps to connect your Liquify Project to Github and Shopify:
- Log in to your GitHub account and create a new repository with a “README” file.
2. Log in to your Liquify account and create a new project.
- Open the project and go to the Settings.
4. Click “Connect to GitHub” and follow the steps.
5. Authorize the repository you created earlier (or all if you prefer).
6. Return to the Liquify project and select the repository you want to connect.
7. Select a branch (usually, there will only be one "main" branch if the project is empty).
8. Go to Shopify, open “Online Store” and select “Themes.” Click “Add Theme” and choose “Connect from GitHub.”
9. Connect your GitHub account and follow the steps. Then, choose a repository and branch.
10. You are now ready to convert your theme 🎉.
