REMOVE SHOP POWERED BY PRESTASHOP (v 1.7.2.4)
How to remove the “store powered by Prestashop” message
Depending on the version of PrestaShop you have installed, it may be difficult to find the place or places to make this modification. This message which appears following the installation of Prestashop can be annoying, especially when you want to present your products when your website has just been installed.
The personalization or deactivation of these messages takes place at two level in order to properly customize your store with your slogan or leit motiv or even motorcycle.
1st level of message deactivation powered by prestashop
- Go to administration: in the menu group Configure => Store Settings => Traffic and SEO
- Then click on modify on the index row and modify the value of Meta description
2nd level of message deactivation powered by prestashop
- In the default template of your website, follow the path: /themes/classic/templates/_partials/footer.tpl
- At the very bottom in the footer.tpl file, modify the div containing:
{block name='copyright_link'}
{ls='%copyright% %year% – Ecommerce software by %prestashop%' sprintf=['%prestashop%' => 'PrestaShop™', '%year%' => 'Y'|date, '%copyright% ' => '©'] d='Shop.Theme.Global'}
{/block}
</div>
</div>
for example in:
{block name='copyright_link'}
{ls='%copyright% %year% – Ecommerce software by %AGILE SARL%' sprintf=['%AGILE SARL%' => 'AGILE SARL™', '%year%' => 'Y'|date, ' %copyright%' => '©'] d='AGILE SARL'}
{/block}
</div>
</div>
3. Go to the menu group Configure => Advanced Settings => Performance => Clear Cache.
4. You can also clear your browser's cache before testing to be sure to completely reload the content of the new page generated by Prestashop.
5. Then don't forget to send the modified file back online. This will have the effect of modifying the title of the footer and the link to which it refers in order to highlight your website or the company that integrates the Prestashop solution.
That's it, that's all for this tutorial course. Do not hesitate to leave comments or share any other methods you have used, or the difficulties you faced with your version of Prestashop, with the community who really needs it.

Great article, clear and simple.
Thank you
Thank you for your comment. Many things to you for the rest of your Prestashop project.
Hello
How do we do step 2 when our site and files are with OVH?
please
Hello Emmett,
if you have the ftp settings for your ovh hosting, you can connect and browse your site folder looking for the /themes/classic/templates/_partials/footer.tpl folder
However, hosts also offer a procedure for accessing your files from the ovh manager.
Let me know if you succeeded.
Hello, I am new to all this. Step 2 I didn't understand where and what to do?
Hello,
Let me know if you managed to resolve your issues. Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation and I'm just coming back.
Who is your host? What version of PrestaShop are you using?
However, for step 2, you must access your hosting's control panel, and via the file explorer it offers you, browse your online files up to the footer.tpl file.
This file is generally located (it depends on the versions) in the template folder of your active theme. By default, it should be located here: [base path of your website]/themes/classic/templates/_partials/footer.tpl
Hello,
I'm new to IT, I have an online store hosted by OVH and step two is Chinese... How do I do it?
Hello,
You must access the control panel of your hosting at OVH, in your case, and via the file explorer it offers you, browse your online files up to the footer.tpl file.
This file is generally located (it depends on the versions) in the template folder of your active theme. By default, it should be located here: [base path of your website]/themes/classic/templates/_partials/footer.tpl
Let me know if you managed to resolve your issues. Sorry for the delay, I just came back from vacation and I was pretty busy.

All right. THANKS.
Hello,
To modify it in the email you can find it 🙂
Thanks a lot 😉
Hello Sanchez, first of all I apologize for the delay in response, I had to take a professional trip and here I am, I am currently in France :).
Concerning your difficulty, have you already been able to resolve it?
Hello,
I always have a Google search result with this inscription “Shop powered by PrestaShop”. Even though I did step number 1 over and over again, nothing seems to change. I always get this result. I modified the title of the page (this manipulation works) but changing the meta description does not work. Do you have any idea where the problem could be coming from? That would be really useful to me.
Kind regards.
Hello, the two steps described in this article worked in my case. And it seems to me that it may have helped other people.
As of today, do you still have the Store powered by Prestashop message? If yes, did you follow all the steps correctly?
Hello,
It is also necessary to delete the lines below:
{if $tos_cms != false}
{$tos_cms nofilter}
{/if}
{ls='%copyright% %year% – Ecommerce software by %prestashop%' sprintf=['%prestashop%' => 'PrestaShop™', '%year%' => 'Y'|date, '%copyright% ' => '©'] d='Shop.Theme.Global'}
in /themes/classic/templates/checkout/_partials/footer.tpl
Thanks for the information.
being hosted directly by Prestashop, I do not have access to the files.
I hope that the first graphic solution will be available and functional.
I really don't feel that the Prestashop hosted e-commerce solution is an excellent solution, it costs €35 per month and I have trouble really seeing the point in it, apart from the updates. almost” automatic.
Thank you Laurent for taking the time to share your opinion with us. And thank you for also sharing your hosting experience with Prestashop. This could help Internet users.
