Safe implementation quick guide
Use this order for safe deployment across all snippets: backup first, place files in the correct directories, render in the target section/template, then QA before publishing.
- Create a backup first: duplicate your live theme before any code changes.
- Open Theme Code Editor and add files in matching locations (for example: snippet files in snippets/, section files in sections/).
- Paste the snippet code into the correct file and keep naming consistent (for example: your-snippet-handle.liquid).
- Render the snippet in the target template or section, then add Liquid conditions only where needed.
- Test on duplicate theme (desktop/mobile, cart, performance), then publish.
Recommended first approach: manage content and behavior from section settings in Theme Editor, and use custom Liquid conditions as a second step only when required.

{% if section.settings.enable_snippet %}
{% render 'your-snippet-handle',
heading: section.settings.heading,
color_scheme: section.settings.color_scheme

{% render 'your-snippet-handle', mode: 'generic' %}
{% endif %}
{% comment %} Prefer configuring behavior from section settings first, then add custom Liquid conditions {% endcomment %}
{% comment %} 4) Insert render in the target template/section and test on duplicate theme {% endcomment %}
{% comment %} 5) Check desktop/mobile, cart flow, and publish after QA {% endcomment %}
