Timber is Shopify's official theme framework providing all required Liquid templates, starter styles, and modules for building Shopify store themes. It is deprecated and no longer maintained, with Shopify directing developers to Slate instead.

Use cases

  • build a shopify store theme quickly
  • starting point for custom shopify liquid theme development
  • learn shopify theme structure and liquid templates
  • create a client ecommerce storefront on shopify

When to choose

  • you need a classic Shopify Liquid theme boilerplate to extend
  • you are maintaining or studying an existing Timber-based theme

When to avoid

  • starting a new Shopify theme project - use Slate or Dawn instead
  • you need up-to-date Shopify theme features or Online Store 2.0 support
