Overview

The "Powered by Shopify" text appears in the footer by default. This guide explains how to remove it by editing the footer template. It is written for merchants, prospective merchants, and reviewers. Note: Direct code edits may be overwritten by theme updates; duplicate the theme before editing.

How do I remove the "Powered by Shopify" footer text?

You can remove it by going to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit code, then navigating to the footer template and deleting or commenting out the line that outputs the text.

Step-by-step

Go to Online Store > Themes.
Click Actions > Edit code.
In Sections, open footer.liquid (or the file containing the powered-by text).
Search for Powered by Shopify or powered_by_link or shopify.
Delete or comment out that line:

To delete:

{{ powered_by_link }}

Remove this line entirely.

To comment out (so you can restore later):

{% comment %}
{{ powered_by_link }}
{% endcomment %}

Click Save.

Where to find it

Location	What to look for
`sections/footer.liquid`	`{{ powered_by_link }}` or "Powered by Shopify"
`layout/theme.liquid`	Sometimes in main footer area
App or section block	Check if an app adds it

For merchants

Backup first: Duplicate your theme (Themes > Actions > Duplicate) before editing.
Updates: Theme updates can overwrite your changes. Re-apply after updating if needed.
Alternative: Some themes have a setting to hide the powered-by text; check Theme settings > Footer.

For reviewers

Removing "Powered by Shopify" is a common merchant request.
It requires code access; no fully code-free method in standard Shopify.
Theme updates may restore the line; documentation should mention this.

📷 Image placeholder: Add a screenshot of footer.liquid with the powered-by line highlighted.

Important notes
