General feeling from Liquify?

Question

Hi all, we're seriously considering diving deep in to Liquify for our eCommerce tech solution. But before that I wanted to ask the community some questions:

Are there are any frustrating limitations you've encountered?
Do external libraries work properly? (ie. GSAP, SwiperJS, Finsweet Attributes, etc)
Does it handle websites with lots of collections well? (ie. blogs, knowledge centre, etc.)
Once the webflow site is developed, does configuring liquify and connecting everything in Shoppify take a long time?

Hope this post is allowed, please let me know otherwise. Very much appreciate any insights!

Hi @Dylan H., yes. its absolutely allowed 🙂

This is an answer from one of the founders! 😉 Maybe others in the community can help too:

• Not yet! Liquify works with Liquid, so the limits are the same as Shopify’s.
• External libraries work.
• Yes, since it’s a Shopify theme, the limits are Shopify’s.
• It depends on how complex it is. Using the starter theme can make things much faster.

Hey, happy to chip in here:I don't really have the contrast to something like Udesly, but generally liquify has less restriction. You are essentially just writing Liquid, so you can do almost anything.I've used all of these in different projects and they work as expected. Only something like CMS Load does not work properly, but that's because of Webflows pagination.As Jonas said, the limitations lie with Liquid, but large blog filtering with F'insweet works fine for exampleIf you keep some Liquid principles in mind, then it shouldn't add a lot of extra work. :)
