Description

Highlights

Remove the Shopware copyright completely. Logo and text line disappear from the footer without touching a single template.
Or replace it, or add to it. Four modes in one dropdown, from hiding it to putting your own name under the Shopware line.
Never a wrong year again. Placeholders for year and store name, correct from 1 January without anyone touching it.
One text per language, via snippets instead of the configuration. Very few plugins offer that.
Favicon and share image too. The two places with Shopware images that almost nobody knows about. Both replaceable without code.

Features

Four modes for the copyright line in one dropdown. Hide it, replace it with your own text, add your own text below the Shopware line, or leave everything unchanged.
Placeholders %year%, %shopname% and %saleschannel% in the text field. The year stays correct without anyone maintaining it.
The text can come from a snippet instead of the configuration field. A store with several languages then has one line per language, which the plugin configuration alone cannot do.
Snippets shipped in nine languages, and the labels of the entire configuration as well.
Your own content for the copyright line as a free text field. HTML allowed, so clickable links in the middle of the line as well as bold and italic.

Text colour and link colour set separately via colour pickers. The link colour also applies on hover, where the link turns slightly transparent instead of changing colour.
Logo above the copyright line, either the store logo from your theme settings or an image of your own from the media library, with its own link target and a free width in pixels.
The favicon in the browser tab can be replaced. Out of the box Shopware shows its blue S there, and anyone who bookmarked your store sees it every day.
The share image for social networks can be replaced. Without a store logo of your own, Shopware sends the demo store logo with every shared link.
Protection switch for both images. They only take effect while Shopware default images are still in place, so a favicon you set yourself stays untouched.
The copyright line in the checkout can be switched separately. Themes and extensions with their own checkout footer replace it completely, and the setting then has no effect there.
Everything controllable per sales channel, no JavaScript, no external service. One package for Shopware 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7, maintained since 2020.

About the Extension

Your footer belongs to you, not to Shopware.

Right at the bottom of your store sits Shopware's copyright: a small Shopware logo and a line of text. This plugin takes out both or replaces them with yours.

→ One dropdown is enough: hide it, replace it, add to it, or leave it alone
→ Year and store name automatically: never a wrong year in your footer again
→ One text per language: very few solve this through the configuration
→ Favicon and share image too: the Shopware branding almost nobody knows about

For Shopware 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7. No external service, no JavaScript, no template changes.

→ Install it now. Setting it up takes two minutes.

What exactly disappears

Shopware renders a fixed block at the very bottom of the footer: a Shopware logo as an icon and next to it the copyright line. Both belong to the default theme and cannot be switched off in the administration. Without touching a template they stay.

This plugin replaces exactly that block. And because the branding does not only sit there, two places in the page head come with it that people rarely think about: the favicon in the browser tab and the share image that appears when someone shares a page of your store.

Four ways with one line

It used to be a switch, now it is a choice. You decide what happens to the copyright line:

Hide it: Shopware logo and line are gone. Your footer ends with your own content, no empty placeholder.
Replace it: your text instead of Shopware's, with HTML, links and your own colours.
Add to it: the Shopware line stays, your text goes underneath. For agencies who want to be named without taking anything away from the client.
Leave it alone: the plugin does not interfere. Useful if you only want it for favicon and share image.

Add to it is the one you will rarely find. It solves a case that used to require a template change: showing your own branding without removing someone else's.

Never a wrong year again

Every store with a year in its footer has it wrong from 1 January. Usually it is noticed in March, when a customer asks.

That is why the text field understands placeholders:

%year%: the current year, correct every year, without you doing anything
%shopname%: the name from your basic settings
%saleschannel%: the name of the sales channel the page is running in

The default after installation is simply © %year% %shopname%. So from the first second there is something correct in your footer, in any language, without a single entry.

One line, every language

This is where everyone else stops. The configuration of a Shopware extension knows sales channels, but not languages. A store with one channel and two languages gets the same line in both, the same German sentence in the German and in the English storefront.

This plugin offers a second route: instead of taking the line from the text field, it can take it from a snippet. Snippets are maintained per language in Shopware anyway. So your German sentence appears in the German storefront and your English one in the English storefront, from one and the same setting.

The placeholders work there as well. And the plugin ships its snippets in nine languages: German, German (AT), German (CH), English, Dutch, French, Spanish, Danish and Polish. Its configuration is labelled in those nine languages too.

The Shopware branding almost nobody knows about

Two places carry Shopware images out of the box, and neither is noticed day to day:

The favicon in the browser tab is the blue Shopware S. Anyone who bookmarked your store sees it every day.
The share image is the logo of the Shopware demo store, as long as no store logo of your own is set. It appears wherever a link to your store is shared.

You can replace both here. And because a plugin should never overwrite something you set yourself, there is a protection switch: out of the box the images only take effect while Shopware's own defaults are still in place. If you set your own favicon long ago, it stays untouched, even if you accidentally upload one here.

Your own line, your own logo

The line is a free text field and may contain HTML: clickable links in the middle of the text, bold, italic, your copyright sign. Plus two colour fields, one for the text and one for the links. The link colour also applies on hover, where the link turns slightly transparent instead of changing colour.

Above the line you can place a logo. Either the store logo from your theme settings or an image of your own from your media library, with its own link target and a freely chosen width in pixels. A separate footer logo is no longer chained to the header logo.

The checkout, now with a switch

Shopware builds the checkout footer from the same block as the normal footer, it just shows less around it. Your setting therefore applies there automatically: where you remove the Shopware copyright, it is gone in the cart, in the login and on the order confirmation page as well.

What is new is that you can switch that off separately. Some people deliberately want to leave the checkout untouched. Now both are possible.

One limitation worth knowing: extensions and themes that bring their own checkout footer replace it completely. This setting then no longer applies there. That is true for any solution that rebuilds the checkout, and it is not a flaw but the order in which Shopware loads templates.

Am I actually allowed to do this?

The most frequent question, and the honest answer has two parts.

The fact: Shopware 6 is published under the MIT licence. It requires the copyright and licence notice to remain in the copies of the software, that is, in the licence file in the code, which this plugin does not touch. The MIT licence text does not require a visible line in the storefront. The plugin only changes the output in the footer, nothing about your installation and nothing about your licence.

What we cannot tell you: whether it fits your case. Editions as well as partner and agency contracts may contain their own branding rules, and legal advice is not our job. If you are unsure, that is a two minute question to your Shopware partner, and afterwards you know instead of assuming.

What this plugin is and what it is not

It is a small, sharply cut tool for exactly one place in your store: the Shopware branding in the footer and in the page head. It installs, gets set up once, and after that you never think about it again.

It is not a footer builder. It builds no footer columns, no footer navigation, no service links and no payment or shipping icons. Anyone who wants to rebuild the whole footer needs a theme, not a plugin.

It is built for the Shopware default theme. Themes that override the copyright line themselves win against the plugin. The setting then has no effect. That is not a flaw but the order in which Shopware loads templates: the theme has the last word.

It is not intended for ThemeWare® and it knows that itself. If ThemeWare® is active, the plugin steps back automatically instead of interfering. You can have the ThemeWare® branding removed free of charge on request via our Service Portal. You do not need this plugin for that.

→ Install it now. One dropdown, no code, no template changes.

For existing users: what this update changes

Nothing, unless you want it to. If you already use the plugin, your setting stays exactly as it is. The new dropdown will look empty afterwards, and that is precisely what carry on as before means. The new behaviour only applies once you pick an option there.

Still, take one look at your footer after the update. Two minutes, and you are sure.

Installation

Install the plugin via the Extension Manager in your Shopware administration: Extensions → My extensions. Install the plugin there and then activate it.

Activating does not rebuild the container, the installation is done quickly.

Opening the configuration

Go to Extensions → My extensions, find the entry Remove or replace copyright and open Configuration from the three-dot menu.

At the very top you choose the sales channel. All settings apply to the channel selected there. If you run several stores, you configure each one separately.

The most important field first

The first field is called What should happen to the copyright line? and offers four options:

Hide the copyright line: Shopware logo and text line disappear without replacement.
Replace it with my own text: your text appears in the same place.
Keep the Shopware line and add my own text: the line stays, your text goes underneath.
Leave the Shopware line untouched: the plugin does not touch the footer. Useful if you only want it for favicon and share image.

If the field looks empty, that is not a fault. Empty means everything stays as it is. On an existing installation your previous setting silently remains in effect, and on a fresh installation the plugin changes nothing until you pick an option here.

Your own text and placeholders

The field Your own text applies to the modes Replace and Add. It accepts HTML, so you can place links and formatting in it.

Three placeholders are replaced when the page is rendered:

%year%: the current year
%shopname%: the store name from Settings → Shop → Basic information
%saleschannel%: the name of the sales channel

An example combining everything:
© %year% %shopname% – Imprint

Plus two colour fields: text colour and link colour. The link colour also applies on hover, where the link turns slightly transparent instead of changing colour.

One text per language

The settings above apply per sales channel, not per language. If you run one channel with several languages, you need a different route, otherwise the English storefront shows the same German sentence.

For that, switch on Take the text from a snippet instead. Then:

Go to Settings → Shop → Snippets.
Search for tcinnCopyrightCustom.footer.copyright.
Enter your text per language. The placeholders from above work here as well.

The plugin ships this snippet in nine languages, so you only override what you want to change.

Logo above the copyright line

Switch on Show a logo above the copyright line. The three fields below it only take effect while this switch is on.

Own logo for the footer: an image from your media library. Leave it empty to use the store logo from your theme settings.
Link target of the logo: leave empty to link to the home page.
Logo width in pixels: for example 100.

Favicon and share image

Two places outside the footer carry Shopware images out of the box: the favicon in the browser tab and the share image that appears when a link is shared. You can replace both in the card Other Shopware branding.

At the top of that card sits Protect images you set yourself, and this switch is on out of the box. While it is on, your images only take effect if the Shopware default image is still in place at that spot. If you set your favicon yourself long ago, it stays untouched.

Remember this if nothing happens: if you upload an image and nothing changes in your store, this switch is almost always the reason. It means your own image is already set there. Switch it off if you deliberately want to override it.

The checkout

Shopware builds the checkout footer from the same block as the normal footer. Your setting therefore applies there automatically. With Apply in the checkout as well you can switch that off separately.

Extensions and themes that bring their own checkout footer replace it completely. This setting then no longer applies there.

Saving and checking

Click Save in the top right and reload your storefront. If you do not see the change straight away, clear the cache under Settings → System → Caches & indexes.

Then check a second page, for example the cart. That way you see at a glance whether the setting applies everywhere.

If nothing happens

If the Shopware copyright stays despite your setting, there are four usual causes:

The dropdown is still empty. Empty means leave everything as it is. Pick one of the four modes.
Your theme overrides the copyright line itself. Then the theme wins. That is how Shopware loads templates, the theme has the last word. The plugin is built for the default theme.
ThemeWare® is active. Then the plugin deliberately steps back. We remove the ThemeWare® branding free of charge on request via our Service Portal.
The protection switch is blocking the favicon. See the section above, an image of your own is already set there.

Uninstalling

After uninstalling, Shopware shows its default copyright line with the Shopware logo again, and the favicon comes from your theme settings. Nothing is left behind in your theme or your templates, because the plugin never changed them.
