How can I edit the code for my theme footer?

Store Design

Topic summary

Main issue: A new store owner wants to add credit text (e.g., graphics creators) beside the copyright in the theme footer and is unsure where/how to edit the code.

Suggestions provided:

  • Check Theme settings for an option to display payment provider icons in the footer. If unavailable, manually add image code in the footer.liquid file near the newsletter section. (footer.liquid is the Shopify theme’s footer template.)
  • Use a guide for editing the “Powered by Shopify” footer text as a reference, but instead of removing text, insert your own, e.g., ADD YOUR CONTENT HERE.

Resources and artifacts:

  • A step-by-step guide link was shared (originally for removing the “Powered by Shopify” link) that can be adapted to adding custom text.
  • A screenshot was posted but not essential to the solution. A code snippet (…) is central.

Status: No confirmation of success yet; actionable steps provided, discussion remains open.

But next to the copyright I also need to credit graphics creators etc. Can anyone help me with editing it? No matter where I enter in code I’m doing something wrong. ( Its me, I’m very new).

Hi @AuthorAngel

In theme settings there will be option to show the payment providers icons in footer.

if not

then you can add images code in footer.liquid

next to the newsletter section.

Thanks
