# Liquid Tags Source: https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/liquid-tags · Last modified 21 August 2026 Liquid tags use the `{% %}` syntax and perform actions rather than output values. StoreConnect extends standard Liquid with its own set of tags covering template structure, data access, HTTP responses, caching, and more. Tags come in two forms: - **Simple tags** — a single self-contained tag: `{% tag_name options %}` - **Block tags** — an opening and closing pair that wrap content: `{% tag_name options %}...{% endtag_name %}` Each tag below links to its own article with the full syntax and worked examples. To read the whole set on one page instead, including the standard Liquid control-flow tags, see the [Liquid tags reference](liquid-tags-reference). ## Template structure - [Layout - Liquid Tag Reference](layout-tag-reference) — specifies which layout template wraps the current page - [Render - Liquid Tag Reference](render-tag-reference) — renders a snippet template with optional parameters - [Component - Liquid Tag Reference](component-tag-reference) — renders a reusable component with support for lazy loading and event-based reload - [Require - Liquid Tag Reference](require-tag-reference) — includes a CSS or JavaScript resource, deduplicated across the page - [Resource Path - Liquid Tag Reference](resource-path-tag-reference) — outputs the resolved path to a theme resource ## Variables & data - [Default - Liquid Tag Reference](default-tag-reference) — sets default values for variables not already defined in the template context - [Variables - Liquid Tag Reference](variables-tag-reference) — declares and initializes multiple template variables in one place - [New - Liquid Tag Reference](new-tag-reference) — creates new objects: UUID, List, Map, or random number - [Struct - Liquid Tag Reference](struct-tag-reference) — creates a typed, schema-validated data structure - [Session - Liquid Tag Reference](session-tag-reference) — persists variables in the user's session across requests - [Context - Liquid Tag Reference](context-tag-reference) — defines context variables available within a component template ## Querying records - [Query - Liquid Tag Reference](query-tag-reference) — fetches Salesforce records from within a Liquid template;
