How to remove 'Powered by Shopify' from the footer

Removing the "Powered by Shopify" Tag

By default, Shopify themes include a small credit in the footer that reads "Powered by Shopify." If you’d prefer a cleaner look that keeps the focus entirely on your brand, you can remove this text in just a couple of minutes.

There are two ways to do this: the quick way (using the text editor) and the direct way (editing the code).

Option 1: Edit Theme Content (Recommended)

This is the easiest method and doesn't require opening any code files.

From your Shopify Admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
Find your Eight theme, click the three dots (...) button, and select Edit default theme content.
Click the Search icon in the top right of the screen.
In the Filter items search box at the top, type "powered".
Locate the Powered by Shopify field.
Press your spacebar once in the text box (this replaces the default text with a blank space).
Click Save.

Remember: If your store is currently password-protected, repeat the "single space" step for the Powered by Shopify HTML field to remove the link from your "Opening Soon" page as well.

Option 2: Edit the Theme Code

If you prefer to remove the functionality entirely from the template, you can delete the specific Liquid tag.

Go to Online Store > Themes.
Click the three dots (...) button and select Edit code.
In the sidebar, open the Sections folder and click on footer-bottom.liquid .
Use Ctrl + F (PC) or Command + F (Mac) to search for: {{ powered_by_link }} .
Delete that tag.
Click Save.
