If you’re looking to make your Shopify store look more professional and brand-specific, one of the first things you may want to remove is the “Powered by Shopify” text in the footer. In this post, I’ll show you two simple and effective methods to remove it.

Method 1: Remove It Using the Theme Customizer (No Code)

This is the easiest way to get rid of “Powered by Shopify” without editing any code.

Steps:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin dashboard.
2. Go to Online Store > Themes.
3. Click the Customize button next to your current theme.
4. In the customization panel, look for and click on Edit default theme content.
5. Use the search bar to type: Powered by Shopify.
6. When the result appears, simply add one space after the text (press the space bar).
7. Click Save.
8. Refresh your storefront — and you’ll see the “Powered by Shopify” text is gone!

Method 2: Remove It by Editing the Theme Code (Advanced)

If you’re comfortable editing code, this method gives you more control.

Steps:

You’ll find a line of code that looks like this:

In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.

Click on Actions > Edit code next to your theme.

Open the file: Sections > footer.liquid.

Press Ctrl + F (or Command + F on Mac) and search for powered_by_link.

6. Either comment it out:

Or delete it completely.
Click Save.

Visit your store — the footer will now be clean and free of the “Powered by Shopify” message!

Final Thoughts

These two methods are all you need to clean up your Shopify store footer and give it a more professional look. The first method is perfect for beginners, while the second is ideal for those comfortable with editing code.
