If you want to replace the default “Powered by Shopify” link in your store’s footer with a custom text and URL, you might have found it a little confusing. Shopify allows you to modify the text easily, but updating the link can’t be accomplished through the store settings. Follow these steps to personalize your footer and make it better align with your brand.
Method 1: Edit The Footer Text Through The Theme Settings
Changing the text on your footer from “Powered by Shopify” to your desired tagline can be achieved through editing your Shopify theme’s default content.
Go to Your Shopify Admin Panel and navigate to Online Store > Themes. Locate your current theme, click the three-dot menu, and then Edit default theme content. In the search box, type “powered” to locate the “Powered by Shopify” field and replace the text with your own. If you wish to remove the text without replacing it, just add a space and save your changes.
This method lets you edit or delete the text from your Shopify store’s footer but doesn’t offer any solution to add your custom link.
Method 2: Add Your Custom Link Directly In The Theme Code Editor
To add your own custom URL and link text to the footer, access the Theme Code Editor through your Shopify Admin, and look for the footer.liquid file. Inside the file, search for the following code:
<small class="copyright__content">{{ powered_by_link }}</small>Replace {{ powered_by_link }} with your own link in HTML format: <a href="YOUR_CUSTOM_URL">YOUR_CUSTOM_TEXT</a>. For example:
<small class="copyright__content"><a href="https://infinitheme.com/">Designed by Infinitheme</a></small>Click Save to apply the changes, and that’s it!
By replacing the “Powered by Shopify” text with your own message, you can make your store look more professional and aligned with your brand. Whether you want to remove it entirely or redirect it to a custom page, these methods will help you achieve the desired look for your Shopify store.
