By default, Shopify themes include the “Powered by Shopify” message in the footer. If you want to give your store a more professional look and reinforce your brand identity, removing this text can be a good idea. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through two easy ways to remove the “Powered by Shopify” message from your theme’s footer.
🛠️ Method 1: Remove via Theme Settings (No Coding Required)
- Go to Customize Theme:
Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
Click on Online Store > Themes, then click the Customize button next to your active theme.
- Edit Default Theme Content:
Once the theme editor opens, look for or search “Edit default theme content.”
Click on it to access theme text settings.
- Search “Powered by Shopify”:
In the search bar, type “Powered by Shopify.”
You will find the default footer message in one or more fields.
- Add a Space and Save:
Instead of deleting the text, simply press the space bar once to replace the text.
Click Save.
- Refresh Your Store:
Reload your website.
The “Powered by Shopify” text should now be gone from the footer!
💻 Method 2: Remove via Code Editing (Advanced)
If you are comfortable editing code or want more control, follow this method:
- Access the Code Editor:
In the Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code.
- Locate the Footer.liquid File:
In the left sidebar, open the footer.liquid file under the Sections or Layout folder.
- Search for the “Powered by Shopify” Line:
Look for the line containing {{ powered_by_link }} or similar wording.
- Comment Out or Remove the Line:
You can either remove this line completely or comment it out using HTML comment tags:
- Save and Refresh:
Save the file and refresh your store.
The footer text should now be successfully removed.
