This must be one of the questions we get most often, and it is not always about “Powered by Shopify”, because some of the theme developers replace this with their theme name … so you have “Powered by X or Y”.
There are two ways to do this:
- Edit the language of the theme and replace the default “Powered by …” text with a space or whatever you want
- Find the line of code in the theme files and remove it
Edit your theme's language
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
- Click Actions > Edit languages for the theme you want to change.
- Type "powered" in the Filter translations box.
-
In the Powered by Shopify box, type a single space .
The faded placeholder text in the box will disappear as soon as you type something in this box. Same steps can be used for the Powered by Shopify HTML box, which appears on your store's "Opening soon" page if your store is password-protected. - Save.
Find the line of code in the theme files and remove it
The line of code responsible for this text is found in footer.liquid in sectioned themes and in theme.liquid for non-sectioned themes.
In both cases, you have to find the {{ powered_by_link }} tag and delete it.
So,
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
- Click on Actions > Edit code near the them you what to edit.
- Search for footer.liquid (or theme.liquid if you have a non-sectioned theme).
- Use ctrl + F on a PC or command + F on a Mac and search for {{ powered_by_link }}.
- Delete the tag when you locate it.
- Save
It might look a little different on themes not made by Shopify, but the idea is the same - find it and delete it. Most of the times it is in one of these two files.
