REMOVE THE SHOPIFY FOOTPRINT

Topic summary

A user running the Pipeline theme wants to remove the “Powered by Shopify” text from their website footer, which isn’t editable through the standard theme editor.

Solutions Provided:

Multiple community members offered CSS code snippets to hide this element, with slight variations:

  • Most common approach: Add CSS targeting .subfooter__copyright with display: none to either the theme’s base.css file or Custom CSS section in theme settings
  • Alternative selectors: Some suggested .subfooter__item--copyright or more specific targeting using attribute selectors like a[href*="shopify"]
  • Implementation locations: Code can be added to base.css (via Edit Code) or through the theme customizer’s Custom CSS section

Key Details:

  • All solutions use CSS to hide rather than remove the element
  • Screenshots were provided showing where to add the code in Shopify’s admin interface
  • The discussion remains open with no confirmation from the original poster about which solution worked

Dear community,

I’m using Pipeline, and on the footer of my website it seems like the “powered by Shopify” is not editable on the edit mode. Could someone be able to give me a code that remove this please ?

My website is “Carmelya.cc”

Many thanks!

Hi @AA226

let add this custom css code to your theme settings:

.subfooter__copyright {
  display: none;
}

Hi @AA226

In base.css add this code:

.subfooter__item--copyright {
display: none;
}

Hello @AA226

  1. From your Shopify Admin, navigate to Online Store > Themes > Edit Code
  2. In the Assets folder, open base.css and add your CSS code at the end
.subfooter__copyright {
display: none;
}

Hi @AA226

Please add this code to Custom CSS in Sales channels > Online Store > Themes > Customize > Theme settings

.subfooter__copyright:has(a[href="https://www.shopify.com?utm_campaign=poweredby&utm_medium=shopify&utm_source=onlinestore"]) { display: none !important; }

@AA226

Please add the following code at the bottom of your css file.

.subfooter__copyright a[href*="shopify"] {

}

Hope this helps!
