Introduction

When launching a Shopify store, the footer typically contains the store name you’ve set along with the phrase “Powered by Shopify.” While leaving this untouched isn’t necessarily problematic, it can give the impression of a “default” or uncustomized site. Therefore, it is advisable to hide this text before publishing your store. This article explains how to remove the “Powered by Shopify” message.

Basic Steps

1. Open the theme editor

2. Find the footer file

Type “footer” into the search bar located at the top-left to locate the footer file.

3. Locate and remove the “Powered by Shopify” text

Find the section responsible for displaying “Powered by” and remove it or comment it out. Since it appears as {{ powered_by_link }} in Liquid files, you cannot search directly for the displayed text.

Conclusion

This article explained how to remove the default “Powered by Shopify” text displayed in the footer on your Shopify store.
