Welcome to the 10 Days to a Better Shopify Store Series! This one is How to Remove Powered by Shopify off Your Store! To see the rest of the series, click here.
One of the first things I noticed when I opened up my brand new Shopify store on June 1, 2017 was this little annoying byline at the bottom of my store that said, “Powered by Shopify.”
I hated it. It was like the tiny little byline was JUMPING off the page and starring me in the face!!!
I feel like, it’s MY ecommerce store. It just feels so unprofessional to have that on my website, so I immediately wanted to take it off.
Luckily, I was able to do just that and today, I’m going to show you how!
Remove Powered by Shopify off Your Store Footer
It’s actually quite easy to remove. Here are the steps to take:
Step 1: When login to your Shopify admin, go to “Online Store,” then “Themes.”
Step 2: This takes you to your themes page. Click “the Actions” drop down arrow, then “Edit languages.”
Step 3: In the “Filter Translations” box, type “powered by shopify”.
Step 4: After you type in, “powered by shopify”, it’ll show you the above option. In the Powered by Shopify box (shown above), type a single space to keep it blank OR what I like to do is change it to my contact information in there.
Step 5: Simply click “Save” and you’re done!
This is how it’ll look when you’ve completed the steps:
If you haven’t already opened up a Shopify store, I highly encourage you to do so. You can click this link to open up your own store here.

Thank you so much for this, Sarah! Do you have a recommendation for a designer/developer for the Genesis Framework?
Sarah Titus says
I just buy a child theme and hire from Fiverr as needed.
Cheryl A Lemily says
Done! I noticed in your shop you have a link back to your blog in the header near search. Is that changed inside ‘edit languages’ as well?
BTW…wanted to share my little success. I opened my shop today (with just one product so far), sent an email to my subscribers, and have already earned $84!
Sarah Titus says
Is it the word, “Blog” right after the search and before “Log in”? If so, you have to have Shopify theme support hardcode it in and tell them where to link it to. If you have a free Shopify theme, you will get 1 hour free design time so that change would be free. That’s awesome about your product! Great job!!! <3 🙂 *party dance*

Hello Sarah am kind of confused is this training the same as the one from July or is it a whole new training series because am kind of confused. Thanks
Sarah Titus says
It’ll be different. 🙂 I’m revamping/restructuring it. Everything that is the same is already live on there, so it’s easy to tell. 🙂 This has been the plan since the beginning. I wanted to be completely transparent when I started this series that later on, it would be restructured and sold, so we’re just at the point now where that is coming to flourish. 🙂 This 30 day series will be free (turned into an opt-in) and then, more training will be available in a future bundle and a future full course. 🙂 So exited as I plan to get super deep in all the trainings, including this one!

Hi Sarah,
I have some questions. Could you go into getting info into Send Owl?
1. what word processing software do you use?
2. what link do you give to Send Owl?
I’ve been using Google Docs (so stuff doesn’t get lost if computer crashes) and can’t figure out if I give them the link in that or the link from the print page – which is on my computer? I know this is semi-tech stuff but I can’t find anyone who can give me an answer. I also have MS word and could use that but that too is an address from my computer.
Any help here would be most helpful. I’m still trying. LOL
Thanks ever so much.
Love, Hugs, and Prayers,
NanaPennypockets

I’ll put this on the list of things to consider when creating my upcoming course. That’s where all this info. would go. 🙂
