Want to transform your Figma designs into a captivating Shopify store? Make it more effortless and faster with DhiWise- A developer’s platform for building web and mobile apps in record time!
The innovative platform streamlines the app development process by intelligently converting your Figma design to code (e.g., Figma to Shopify Liquid, React, Next.js, HTML, Flutter, Android, and iOS code), configuring UI components, setting up styles, and much more.
This article provides a step-by-step guide to converting Figma to Shopify Liquid code. Well, before getting into the design to code details let’s first briefly understand Shopify and Figma.
Shopify is a robust e-commerce platform that allows developers to build and customize online stores. It provides a range of APIs, tools, and pre-built features, making creating scalable and efficient e-commerce solutions easier.
Shopify Liquid is a templating language specifically designed for creating dynamic content within Shopify themes. It allows you to control the layout and display of information on your Shopify store using code snippets.
Figma is a browser-based, collaborative design tool that lets you design and craft interactive mockups. With the platform, you can effectively handle various tasks such as designing icon sets, illustrations, logos, and more in the cloud, making teamwork a breeze.
Follow the steps outlined below for Figma to Shopify Liquid code conversion or watch this step-by-step video for a deeper understanding of the tool:

Next, in the Create a new app window provide the below-required inputs.
After defining the core attributes of your application click Start Building to proceed. Define Core Attributes
The platform allows you to set app configuration and select app screens from the Figma file, so you can modify the selected screens and generate code for them.
In the next window, you can select the web application screens to start creating your app from the Figma URL you provided. Select the screens you want to import and click Confirm Selection.
Screen Selection
Next, in the Application setup window, you can configure the application identifier and icon. And after updating the changes click Save and Continue.

Once you select the desired elements click Save & Continue to proceed.
Code Configuration
DhiWise will take only a few minutes to fetch your Figma design resources.
Fetch Figma Resources
The Figma design resources are fetched, scanned, and identified during the above process. Here you can see how the platform auto-identified UI components, and custom UI components such as Input, Button, List, Image, Row, Grid, Dropdown, and more.
Auto-Identified Components
From here, you can proceed to a screen list view that allows you to select and customize each screen.
Now you can view all the screens you have fetched with the screen summary. To start customizing each screen click Configure. Moreover, from here, you can search the screen and view the screen summary.
Screen List View
The platform enables extensive web app UI customization. It allows you to set up:
It also offers a layout tree view and design previews. And the best part is you can generate code for selected components.
Customize Screen UI
You can build responsive Shopify UI for desktops, tablets, and mobiles. Its Smart Editor allows you to switch between devices effortlessly, ensuring pixel-perfect designs. This eliminates the need for constant rebuilding, instantly reflecting your changes on the chosen device.
Responsive Design
The platform auto-generates component-based Shopify Liquid code for identified UI components. In a case, if any component is misidentified it can be changed to a different view type.
Change Component View Type
The Style option for component styling allows you to customize properties like display, spacing, overflow, position, typography, radius, background, borders, and effects.
UI Styling
Download the DhiWise App from the Shopify App Store to push the code directly to your store.

1{{ 'proddetail.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
This line includes a CSS file named herosection.css to style the hero section.
1{% assign product = all_products[section.settings.product] %} 2 3<div class="proddetail __dhiwise"> 4 <div class="rowrectangle"> 5 <div class="listrectangle"> 6 {% for image in product.images limit: 3 %} 7 <img 8 src="{{ image | img_url: '106x126', crop: 'center' }}" 9 alt="{{ image.alt | escape }}" 10 width="106" 11 height="126" 12 loading="lazy" 13 class="rectangle" /> 14 {% endfor %} 15 <div class="stackfour"> 16 {% if product.images.size > 3 %} 17 <img 18 src="{{ product.images[3] | img_url: '106x126', crop: 'center' }}" 19 alt="{{ product.images[3].alt | escape }}" 20 width="106" 21 height="126" 22 loading="lazy" 23 class="image-1" /> 24 <h1 class="four"> 25 +{{ product.images.size | minus: 3 }} 26 </h1> 27 {% endif %} 28 </div> 29 </div>
{% assign product = all_products[section.settings.product]%}
Retrieves a specific product based on a setting defined in the section. The all_products
object allows access to all products by handle.
{% for image in product.images limit: 3 %}
Loops through up to 3 product images, displaying them with specific dimensions (106x126), centered cropping, and lazy loading.
{% if product.images.size > 3 %}
If there are more than 3 images, it shows the fourth image and a label with the count of additional images (+X).
<h2>{{ product.price | money }}</h2>
{% if product.compare_at_price > product.price %}
Displays the product price. If there is a discount (compare_at_price greater than price), it shows the original price with the percentage of discount.
{% for variant in product.variants %}
Loops through product variants (e.g., sizes), displaying each variant's title as a selectable option.
{{ 'sections.proddetail.add_to_cart' | t }}
The use of translation keys allows dynamic rendering of text based on the store's language settings.
1<script> 2 document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { 3 const addToCartButton = document.getElementById('AddToCart'); 4 const addToWishlistButton = document.getElementById('AddToWishlist'); 5 6 addToCartButton.addEventListener('click', function() { 7 // Add to cart functionality 8 // You would typically use the Shopify AJAX API here 9 console.log('Added to cart'); 10 }); 11 12 addToWishlistButton.addEventListener('click', function() { 13 // Add to wishlist functionality 14 // This would depend on your specific wishlist implementation 15 console.log('Added to wishlist'); 16 }); 17 }); 18</script> 19
This script adds event listeners to the 'Add to Cart' and 'Add to Wishlist' buttons and can be modified according to your functionality.
