How Do I Use the Variables Not in the Default Order Templates?

This document lists examples of how to use the liquid variables that are available for use in the order templates but are not currently used in the default templates.

You need to have a good understanding of the Liquid programming language to customize the templates. However, here is a brief introduction to how Liquid works.

Liquid is a template language used to render dynamic content. Liquid is written just like regular HTML markup with the addition of easy-to-read constructs, Liquid statements are built using a combination of objects, tags, and filters.

Objects

Objects contain expressions that display the variable data. Liquid objects are commonly referred to as Liquid variables. Objects are denoted by a set of double curly braces containing the variable expression.

 {{ variable_goes_here }}

Tags

Tags display the logic that tells the template what data to display. Tags are denoted by a set of curly brace percentage delimiters.

{% logic_goes_here %}

E.g. To print out the payment instructions if the order uses COD.

  {% if order.using_cod? %}
     <h3>Payment Instructions</h3>
     <p>{{ order.payment_instructions }}</p>
  {% endif %}

Filters

Filters are used to change the output of a liquid variable. Filters tell the template how to format the data. You can invoke filters by following the value in an object with a pipe character (|), followed by the name of the filter. E.g.

{{ balance | format_currency }}
