Why Can’t I Remove Powered by Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:37 pm

As an ecommerce platform, Shopify is designed to give users a certain amount of control over the look and feel of their online stores. However, there are some limitations to what users can do. One of these is the inability to remove the “Powered by Shopify” text from the footer of their store’s theme.

PRO TIP: If you are using a Shopify theme, you may have noticed a link in the footer that says “Powered by Shopify”. This link can not be removed without upgrading to a paid Shopify plan.

The main reason why users can’t remove the “Powered by Shopify” text is because it is part of the terms of service that they agree to when they sign up for a Shopify account. The text is used to help promote Shopify and make it easier for people to find ecommerce solutions. It also helps Shopify keep track of how many stores are using their platform.

While the “Powered by Shopify” text may be a small annoyance for some users, it is important to remember thatShopify is a powerful and flexible ecommerce platform that offers a lot of features and benefits. Users who are looking for a more customized experience may want to consider other ecommerce platforms that allow for more customization.
