Unique Shopify themes without touching Liquid

September 27, 2026 · 4 min read

Skahh delivers Shopify stores that do not look alike. The trick is not rewriting the theme for each customer: the Liquid stays shared, and only a few configuration files change.

Five files are enough

  • config/settings_data.json
  • templates/index.json
  • templates/product.json
  • sections/header-group.json
  • sections/footer-group.json

A Shopify JSON template is a list of sections and their order. The official limits: 25 sections per template and 50 blocks per section.

Fonts: a quiet trap

A font name for Shopify follows the family_nWeight pattern, for example bricolage_grotesque_n7. A font picker needs a valid default or the theme breaks. And not every Google font is in Shopify's library: Sora and Lexend were not there when I checked on 27 September 2026.

A quantity tier is only a display

Showing a quantity deal in the theme changes nothing in the cart. The discount has to exist on the Shopify side, in automatic discounts, otherwise the customer pays full price.

Check before delivering

shopify theme check also validates assembled themes, not just the base. And every store is reviewed by hand before it is delivered.
