Last modified: February 19, 2020
If you clicked on this article and are interested in the topic it means you have set up you Shopify store and are seeing text at the bottom of your site that reads “Powered by Shopify”, (if you haven’t set up a Shopify store but would like to learn how read this). For some of you this may not bother you or be seen as an inconvenience or problem but some of you may not like having that text on the bottom of your Shopify online retail site. If this doesn’t bother you than you’ve got no problem you can keep the text if you prefer, but for those of you that want this text gone let’s continue on so you can learn how to get rid of it.
How Can I remove "Powered by Shopify" from the Footer of My Site?
If you’d like to delete this text you have two different ways to do so. You can choose from either of the following options to remove the unwanted text from your site’s footer.
The first tactic you can do is edit your theme’s language setting Here’s what you need to do:
- Go to you Shopify Admin page and select Online Stores, then click on Themes
- Choose the theme you are currently using for your eCommerce then click Actions followed by Edit Language
- In the Filters Translations box type “powered”
- Lastly in the “Powered by Shopify” box type one single space
What this does is ensure that the faded place holder text will no longer be able to be seen. If you have a store that is password protected you can do these steps again for the “Powered by Shopify” HTML box which will remove “Powered by Shopify” from the “Opening Soon” page.
Remember to click Save when you are finished!
The second way to remove “Powered by Shopify” is to edit the footer Here’s how:
- Go to you Shopify Admin page and select Online Stores, then click on Themes
- Choose the theme you are using for your site and click Actions then Edit Code
- Once inside the Sections Folder open the Footer.Liquid file
- Use ctrl+F keys on a Windows PC or Command+F keys on Mac and search for {{powered_by_link}}
- When you find the text on the page, delete the same
- Once you have deleted {{powered_by_link}} just click save
Remember, if you want to you can leave the “Powered by Shopify” text. Having the text at the bottom of your web page is a personal preference to keep it there or not.
