Canvas Builder + Shopify
Shopify's theme system (Liquid) uses HTML + CSS + Liquid template tags. Canvas Builder generates the HTML and CSS foundation using Bootstrap 5 and Canvas components: you add Liquid objects, tags, and filters to make it dynamic. The result: custom Shopify sections in a fraction of normal development time.
Use cases
- Custom Shopify landing pages
- Product collection page redesigns
- Promotional sale page sections
- Custom homepage sections
- Email capture page templates
How it works
Generate your Shopify layout
Prompt Canvas Builder with your store niche, product type, brand colours, and the section or page you're building. Download the Bootstrap 5 HTML output.
Convert HTML to Liquid
Open the HTML in your code editor. Add Liquid syntax: replace static product names with {{ product.title }}, prices with {{ product.price | money }}, and images with {{ product.featured_image | img_url: '1200x' }}.
Add Bootstrap to your theme
Include Bootstrap 5 CDN in your theme.liquid layout file, or add Bootstrap as a theme asset. Canvas Builder output uses Bootstrap utility classes throughout.
Create a Shopify section or template
Save your Liquid file in /sections/ or /templates/ in your theme. Sections can be added to any page via the Shopify theme customiser. Templates apply to specific page types.

Frequently asked questions
Does Shopify support Bootstrap 5?
Shopify themes don't include Bootstrap by default. You can add Bootstrap 5 via CDN in your theme.liquid file. Some theme developers include Bootstrap; others use Shopify's own utility classes.
Is Canvas Builder better than Shopify's theme editor?
They serve different purposes. Shopify's editor lets you configure existing theme sections. Canvas Builder generates new HTML layout structures for custom sections that don't exist in your current theme. They're complementary.
