Do you want to prevent visitors from printing website content on your Shopify store? It’s easy. This article will guide you how to do that.
- From your Shopify admin, to to Online Store > Theme.

- n the Layouts directory, click themes.liquid to open it in the online code editor.
- In the online code editor, add the below code before close </body> tag.1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829<script>scriptHuraTipsPreventPrinting = function($){$('body').append('<style type="text/css" media="print">body{visibility:hidden;display:none}</style>');$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {if(e.ctrlKey && (e.key == "p" || e.charCode == 16 || e.charCode == 112 || e.keyCode == 80) ){alert("Sorry, you are not authorized to take a Print");e.cancelBubble = true;e.preventDefault();e.stopImmediatePropagation();}});};var jqHuraTipsScript = document.createElement('script');jqHuraTipsScript.setAttribute("src", "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js");jqHuraTipsScript.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");if (jqHuraTipsScript.readyState) {jqHuraTipsScript.onreadystatechange = function () {if (this.readyState == 'loaded' || this.readyState == 'complete') {scriptHuraTipsPreventPrinting(jQuery.noConflict(true));}};} else {jqHuraTipsScript.onload = function () {scriptHuraTipsPreventPrinting(jQuery.noConflict(true));};}var d = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0] || document.documentElement;d.appendChild(jqHuraTipsScript);</script>
- Click Save and you are done.
As soon as you install the script provided above, the visitors will can’t open the print option by shortcut key (Ctrl+P). If they still try the open print option from the properties menu and try print, they only get a blank page.
I hope it’s helpful to you.
Happy coding.
Thanks for this but I need also a code to prevent people from doing a print screen from any device by using hot keys or an app.
