Shopify Developer Test 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which option from the list below best describes how to change your theme offline?
- Get in touch with Shopify to allow offline editing.
- Use a Java editor to edit the Liquid files you downloaded.
- As a workaround, use the Textmate bundle to edit your theme using TextMate (or E-editor on the PC). (Correct answer)
- Theme exported in.rby format
Correct answer: As a workaround, use the Textmate bundle to edit your theme using TextMate (or E-editor on the PC).
Shopify themes are typically edited directly within the online admin interface. For offline development, a common workaround involves using a local development environment with specialized tools. Historically, using a Textmate bundle (or similar text editors with specific plugins/workflows) allowed developers to download theme files, edit them locally, and then re-upload them, providing a more traditional offline coding experience and facilitating version control.
Question 2: How can I utilize Shopify's {% include ''" %} percentage for an app?
- You must first get the merchant's approval for your app to add assets to the shop in order to add an asset to a checkout when your app is not installed. Installing your asset, in our example "foo.liquid," comes next. You may use include to have the theme refer to the asset once it is an Asset in the shop.
- When your app is installed, the merchant must first give their approval for your app to add assets to the shop before you may delete an asset from that shop. Installing your asset, in this example "foo.liquid," comes next. You may use include to have the theme refer to the asset once it is an Asset in the shop.
- When your app is installed, if you want to add an asset to a shop, you must first get the merchant's approval before doing so. Installing your asset, in our example "foo.liquid," comes next. You may use include to have the theme refer to the object once it is in the store. (Correct answer)
- None of the above
Correct answer: When your app is installed, if you want to add an asset to a shop, you must first get the merchant's approval before doing so. Installing your asset, in our example "foo.liquid," comes next. You may use include to have the theme refer to the object once it is in the store.
To use `{% include 'foo' %}` for an app's custom Liquid code, the app must first be installed on the merchant's store and have the necessary permissions to manage theme assets. Once approved, the app can programmatically upload its Liquid file (e.g., `foo.liquid`) as an asset to the store's theme. After the asset is present in the theme, the `include` tag can then be used within the theme's Liquid files to render the content of `foo.liquid`.
Question 3: Which of the following factors cannot be used to determine shipping rates?
- Weight Based
- Carrier Calculated Rates (Correct answer)
- Location Based
- Price Based
Correct answer: Carrier Calculated Rates
Shopify allows merchants to set up shipping rates based on various factors like weight, price, and destination (location-based). 'Carrier Calculated Rates' is not a factor itself, but rather a *type* of shipping rate that *uses* factors like weight, dimensions, and destination to get real-time rates directly from shipping carriers. The question asks for a factor that cannot be used to *determine* rates, and carrier calculated rates are a *method* of determination, not a base factor.
Question 4: Who founded Shopify?
- Daniel Weinand
- Tobias Lütke (Correct answer)
- Elon Musk
- Scott Lake (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Tobias Lütke
Shopify was co-founded by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake in 2006. Tobias Lütke is widely recognized as the CEO and driving force behind Shopify's development. His initial need to build an online store for snowboards led to the creation of the platform, making him a primary founder.
Question 5: How do I update a Shopify website theme using these two programming languages?
- Codify
- asp.net
- HTML & Liquid
- Javascript & Liquid (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Javascript & Liquid
Shopify themes are primarily built using Liquid, Shopify's templating language, which handles dynamic content and data display from the store. To add interactive elements, animations, or complex client-side logic, JavaScript is extensively used. These two languages work together to create functional and engaging Shopify storefronts.
Question 6: What will be printed in the following Liquid code
- Error
- Tracking number: (Correct answer)
- Tracking number: Nil
- Nothing
Correct answer: Tracking number:
In Liquid, if a variable or object property is `null` or empty, outputting it with `{{ }}` will result in an empty string. The literal text 'Tracking number: ' will be printed as it is. Since `order.tracking_number` is assumed to be empty or non-existent in this context, nothing will be appended after the colon, resulting in 'Tracking number: ' being displayed.
Question 7: The Liquid ______ filter eliminates any instances of array elements that are duplicated.
- uniq (Correct answer)
- remove
- trim
- run
Correct answer: uniq
The `uniq` filter in Liquid is specifically designed to remove duplicate items from an array. When applied to a collection or list, it returns a new array containing only the unique elements. This filter is useful for cleaning up lists or ensuring only distinct values are displayed on a Shopify store.
Question 8: Which statement is TRUE about Merchant Account?
- A bank account that is directly held there and is used to take credit card payments. (Correct answer)
- Additional name for your username
- A unique account accessible exclusively to premium users
- A part of your store dedicated to devoted clients
Correct answer: A bank account that is directly held there and is used to take credit card payments.
A merchant account is a type of bank account that allows businesses to accept credit and debit card payments. It acts as an intermediary, holding funds from card transactions before they are settled into the business's regular bank account. This is a crucial component for any e-commerce business, including those on Shopify, to process customer payments securely.
Question 9: If a customer's badge is absent from the Orders section of the iPhone app, what is the order?
- Closed (Correct answer)
- Cancelled
- Still open
- Behind schedule
Correct answer: Closed
In the Shopify mobile app, orders typically display badges indicating their status (e.g., 'Unfulfilled,' 'Paid'). If an order's badge is completely absent from the Orders section, it generally signifies that the order has been fully processed and closed. This means it has been fulfilled, paid, and no further action is required, leading to its removal from active status indicators.
Question 10: Which of the following doesn't already exist as Theme Property?
- id
- description (Correct answer)
- created_at
- name
Correct answer: description
Shopify theme objects have several built-in properties like `id`, `created_at`, and `name` that provide metadata about the theme. However, `description` is not a standard, automatically populated property of a theme object in Liquid that can be directly accessed as `theme.description` for display. While themes might have descriptions in their manifest files, it's not a direct Liquid property.
Question 11: Which of the fields on the next page are available for use?
- author
- head
- meta
- handle (Correct answer)
Correct answer: handle
The `handle` property is a crucial identifier in Shopify for various objects like products, collections, pages, and blogs. It's a URL-friendly, unique string derived from the object's title, used for permalinks and accessing objects programmatically. It is a widely available and essential field for navigating and referencing content within a Shopify store.
