# Remove the Powered by STOQ watermark

> Hide the Powered by STOQ branding on your signup popup and your back in stock emails.

STOQ adds a small **Powered by STOQ** watermark to the signup popup and to the back in stock emails it sends. On a paid plan you can turn it off in two places, one for the popup and one for the email.

> **Note**
>
> Removing the watermark requires a paid plan. On a free plan the toggle is disabled and shows an upgrade prompt. The email toggle also only applies when STOQ sends the email; if you send through Klaviyo, the branding is controlled in your Klaviyo template instead.

## Remove it from the signup popup

On a phone, this menu is collapsed. In the **Shopify mobile app**, tap the **STOQ** logo at the top of the screen to open it, then choose the section named below. There is no hamburger icon. See [Finding the STOQ menu](https://help.stoqapp.com/general/getting-started-with-stoq/#finding-the-stoq-menu).

1. **Open the signup form editor**

   1. In the left menu bar of the STOQ app, click **Back in stock alerts**.
   2. Click the **Settings** tab, then open the **Signup widget** sub-tab.
   3. Click **Customize widget**, open the **Signup form** tab, and choose **Form content** from the sidebar.

## Remove it from back in stock emails

   Click **Save changes**. Send yourself a test alert to confirm the footer no longer shows the branding.

## Check your setup

Trigger a test signup and a test alert (sign up on your storefront, then restock the product) and confirm neither the popup nor the email shows the **Powered by STOQ** watermark.

## FAQ

### The watermark toggle is greyed out

Removing the watermark is a paid-plan feature. Upgrade to enable the toggle. On the email side, the toggle is also disabled when your alerts send through Klaviyo rather than STOQ. On a Shopify partner development store, the watermark stays on and can't be removed.

### I turned it off but still see it in the email

Each template has its own toggle, so turn it off on the specific alert you're testing, and re-send the test. If you send through Klaviyo, remove the branding from the Klaviyo email template instead.

### Does this affect SMS alerts?

The watermark applies to the popup and email. SMS messages don't carry the watermark.
