Hello, I’m looking to get rid of the powered by shopify at the footer and add my companies house reg instead as required by law? Thank you 
Topic summary
Main issue: Replace “Powered by Shopify” in the Dawn theme footer with a Companies House registration number to meet legal requirements.
Solution provided:
- Navigate to Online Store → Theme → Edit code.
- Open Sections/footer.liquid.
- Locate the lines that include copyright and the powered_by_link.
- Replace
<small>{{ powered_by_link }}</small>with your own text, e.g.,<small>Your Companies House reg number</small>.
Technical notes:
- footer.liquid is the footer section template file in Shopify’s Dawn theme.
- powered_by_link is the variable that renders the default “Powered by Shopify” link.
Outcome and status:
- A participant confirmed the steps were clear and worked after previous difficulty finding guidance.
- No further issues raised; the thread appears resolved.
Context:
- A screenshot of the footer was shared for reference.
- Code snippet changes are central to understanding the fix.
May I suggest to update code these steps:
- Go to Store Online-> theme → edit code
- Sections/footer.liquid
- find code below after replace with your company name
<small>© {{ 'now' | date: "%Y" }}, {{ shop.name | link_to: routes.root_url }}</small>
<small>{{ powered_by_link }}</small>
EX:
<small>© {{ 'now' | date: "%Y" }}, {{ shop.name | link_to: routes.root_url }}</small>
<small>put your compay here</small>
