I got some a small assignment to add a feature to a theme made on Shopify. I am good with PHP but shopify uses .liquid files. I want to know how it works like this code snippet 

{{% if payment.gateway | name %}}

Though they have given the documentation but I want to know how I can work on this language as I don`t have shopify paid version and I want to try this before paying for it. Can anyone help me

It's Shopify's templating language, Liquid.

You can sign up to the Shopify Partner program and play with Liquid in a dev shop for free.

Jekyll also uses Liquid, if you're interested.
