Differences from Shopify

The compatibility matrix lists every tag, filter, object and setting type that differs. This page covers the bigger differences.

Liquid

Shopify	Sooquna
Output is printed as is	Output is escaped; trusted HTML (rich text, filter-built tags) isn’t.
{% include %} (deprecated)	Not supported: use render.
and/or checked right to left	Checked left to right: don’t mix them.
forloop.parentloop	Not available.
{{ x | raw }} in some contexts	No raw filter; safe can’t print untrusted HTML.

Theme structure

Shopify	Sooquna
Customer templates (templates/customers/*)	Not used: account pages are drawn by Sooquna in the store’s checkout colours.
templates/gift_card.liquid	Not used: gift cards are checked at /gift_cards/check, drawn by Sooquna.
App blocks and app embeds	Not available. Built-in store features cover wishlist, reviews, back in stock and more, with capability to show their sections.
—	Custom pages (custom_pages/) and the features object are Sooquna additions.
Liquid assets (theme.css.liquid) are rendered	Assets are served as they are: use {% style %} for CSS that needs settings.

Settings and data

Shopify	Sooquna
Hosted font library (font_picker, font_face)	Not yet: self-host fonts.
Connecting settings to metafields (dynamic sources)	Not yet: read metafields in Liquid.
color settings are colour objects	Hex strings; use the color_* filters.
article, blog, page, metaobject settings give objects	They give IDs. product, collection, image_picker, link_list and custom_page give objects.
liquid settings render merchant Liquid	The text isn’t rendered.
Selling plans (subscriptions)	Not available (always empty).
Markets: many countries and currencies	One country and currency per store; many languages.

Formatting

• money shows the currency code: QAR 15.00 (and 15.00 ر.ق on Arabic pages). The format isn’t editable per store.
• date adds Arabic month names and calendar: 'hijri'.
• image_url always gives WebP; format and pad_color are ignored.
• t supports all CLDR plural forms, which Arabic needs.

Customers

• customer has name, email and order count; orders and addresses are on the account pages.
• Sign-in, sign-up and password forms work only on the account pages.

Checkout

The checkout isn’t part of the theme. Merchants brand it (logo, colours, fonts) in Settings › Checkout.
