You should add the method in the form:
{% form 'product', product, method: 'post' %}

Its actually better than most of the paid courses. I already knew about HTML, CSS and Template languages so picking this up was not a big deal for me. I just needed the guide of how to get started and this tutorial does just that stuff. No time waste on CSS or anything like that. Thanks man!

[John-qwqs]

To the point, no fluff, thorough and easy to understand. I seriously wish more guides were this good. Thank you man!

Your video is 🔥! Thank you, for covering Shopify development. I've seen others try teach liquid and the platform inside out and it made things even more confusing. However your approach was straight on with getting started and being able to jump straight into things!

[peterparker]

Thank you for this man, I watched more than 40 hours of videos on Shopify and no one talked about this liquid api page you are referencing for doing everything. This page seems to have everything I wanted to know. Thank you for great tutorial. You are a great teacher.

Robby this video is the best ive seen covering shopify, im 35 mins in and I love the way you've gone through each tamplate skiping the CSS, only focusing on the most important parts and worrying about the looks later is so valuable. Great video!

[mateusdias]

I've worked with shopify development for a brief period of time some years ago and now I'm trying to get back on track. Your content was super clear and direct so thank you for helping me remember a lot of stuff and inspiring me to try and build my own liquid code and theme structure.

Hey Robby, I dove into about 17 mins of your tutorial and I’m already absolutely loving it! I bought a course for Shopify theme development, but it was super long and made me go to sleep to many times to count. 😅However, I appreciate you simplifying liquid and the Shopify development ecosystem within a nutshell of a learning approach. I can’t wait to finish your tutorial and dive in my learning. I just wanted to give you your flowers for making this amazing content to something that just needs the setup and overview of how to start developing storefront Shopify applications. 😀🙌🏽

[majorthought]

Brilliant video Robby, you focus on the main concepts and i feel little time was wasted. Most informative video I've watch in a while! Looking forward to applying the skills you teach.

[oluwafemikayode]

Appreciate this tutorial man. Already a web dev and looking to pick up Shopify and this is the best tutorial I've seen so far. Big ups!

[vishalmadhwar]

I was looking for such video for last many days and finally i found you, its straight and explained in a better way, very easy for anyone to start with. thanks a ton for such super easy explanation video.

[sumesh]

This is one the best videos I have seen on shopify that describes in a simplest way. I cant tell you how much it help me to learn and understand the basics. At first glance of shopify I was scared but after watching this, I loved the shopify environment. Thank you so much for your great work. ❤

[creativeprogrammer]

Thank you for this video. I saw many tutorial and course on YouTube and Udemy but your are the one who tells everything about Shopify in very one smallest video with accuracy.

[jeromeyoung]

I know I wrote a message 2 weeks ago from what I can see lol. But I had to leave another comment. I just finished your video and want to thank you so much for making this amazing content!!! First, I'm blown away by how fast you created all that html and liquid code and how smooth it is in a jampacked 1-hour video. I learned so much throughout the video, but from watching it I feel completely confident and comfortable giving it a shot on creating my own Shopify frontend Store! Thank you, again robby I really appreciate it.

[pumdu]

Thank you Robby. This is the exact liquid course that I was looking for. I could understand how to set up environment for liquid on local computer and sync it with shopify editer and how to deal with it from the scratch. Excellent!!

[abdullahalamin]

Robbin, You performed admirably. Bravo to you. As a novice, I learned the basic about theme creation from you in a brief period of time.

[dylanmrocks]

Thanks for this simple tutorial! I especially like how you look at the documentation as you're explaining to us. It has a 'teach us how to fish' feel, instead of just showing us the least steps to get to make a theme.

[demarimiller]

This is the best beginner Shopify theme tutorial I’ve seen. I mean that. Thank you!

[ShahariareRahman]

Awesome. A full guide, no time waste on design or CSS stuff. Solid foundation. Loved it, man. Looking for the Shopify App development tutorial too.
