Copyright text provides a clear indication of a copyright symbol, the year of creation, and the author of the content.

By default, the copyright text includes the copyright symbol, the current year, your store name, and a "Powered by Shopify" link.

Here, we will walk you through step-by-step guides to edit the copyright text in the footer section. In this article:

How to remove (or edit) Power by Shopify

Power by Shopify is the default text placed in every store by Shopify to let people know that the store is using Shopify's service.

You have two options for removing or editing the Powered by Shopify text:

Remove (or edit) Powered by Shopify using Shopify admin

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.

  2. Find the theme that you want to edit, and then click Actions > Edit default theme content.

  3. In the Search translations box, do either of the following:

  • If this is the first time that you change this text, then enter powered in the search box.

  • If you changed this text previously, navigate directly to the "Powered by Shopify" message by clicking ..., and then select Checkout & System. The "Powered by Shopify" message is in the Links section of Checkout & System.

4. In the Powered by Shopify box, fill in the text you'd like to show or type a single space using the space bar to remove the text.

Remove (or edit) Powered by Shopify using Edit code

Steps:

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online store > Themes > Actions > Edit code.

  2. In the Sections folder, open the footer.liquid file.

  3. Hit Ctrl + F (Command + F) to open the code search box > Search power_by_link.

4. Make necessary changes:

  • If you want to remove Powered by Shopify, delete the following code:

<p>{{ powered_by_link }}</p>

Make sure to delete everything from the opening to the closing tags.

  • If you want to change the text, remove powered_by_link and add the text you would like to show, using ' '. Example:

<p>{{ 'All rights reserved' }}</p>

5. Click Save.

How to edit the shop name text in the copyright

You might want to edit the text instead of showing the store name by default or even change the link in that text. In that case, kindly follow the steps below to make suitable adjustments.

Edit the shop name text

Steps:

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online store > Themes > Actions > Edit code.

  2. In the Sections folder, open the footer.liquid file.

  3. Hit Ctrl + F (Command + F) to open the code search box > Search shop.name. You will then see the code for copyright text in the footer section.

{% if section.settings.show_copyright %}
<p class="site-footer__copyright">&copy; {{ 'now' | date: "%Y" }}, <a class="link-underline " href="{{ routes.root_url }}">{{ shop.name }}</a></p>
<p>{{ powered_by_link }}</p>
{% endif %}

4. Replace shop.name in the code with 'text you want to show'.

Example: 'Zest theme'

{% if section.settings.show_copyright %}
<p class="site-footer__copyright">&copy; {{ 'now' | date: "%Y" }}, <a class="link-underline " href="{{ routes.root_url }}">{{ 'Zest theme' }}</a></p>
<p>{{ powered_by_link }}</p>
{% endif %}

5. Click Save to finish.

Change the link of the shop name text

If you want to add a different link to the text to redirect visitors to your desired webpage:

Replace

href="{{ routes.root_url }}"

with

href="a page URL" target="_blank"

or with

href="a page URL" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"

Remember to include the URL protocols in that link.

Example:

{% if section.settings.show_copyright %}
<p class="site-footer__copyright">&copy; {{ 'now' | date: "%Y" }}, <a class="link-underline" href="https://themes.shopify.com/themes/zest" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">{{ 'Zest theme' }}</a></p>
<p>{{ powered_by_link }}</p>
{% endif %}

Save the code, refresh yoru store, and check the footer.

To show or hide copyright at the bottom of your Shopify store, simply check the section settings in your theme editor, and check/uncheck the corresponding option.
