Quick Answer: Two-Part Removal Process
Uninstalling SeaText AI from Shopify has two parts. First, delete the app from your Shopify admin. Second, remove the SeaText JavaScript snippet from your theme files. The first part removes the app connection. The second part removes the code that SeaText’s integration guide tells you to paste into theme.liquid.
Many users only delete the app. That leaves the snippet in the theme. The snippet remains in the theme file until you remove it. This guide walks through both steps.
How SeaText AI Installs on Shopify
The SeaText Shopify integration guide gives installation steps. The steps require a SEATEXT AI account. After you create an account, you copy JavaScript code from SeaText. Then you log in to Shopify and go to Online Store > Themes. You click the three dots next to your theme and choose Edit code. You open the file theme.liquid in the Layout folder. You paste the snippet before the closing </head> tag. Then you save the file.
This installation method matters for uninstalling. The snippet is not a Shopify App Block. It is not a theme app extension. Shopify does not know this code belongs to SeaText. When you delete the app, Shopify cannot remove the code automatically.
SeaText also gives optional steps for product descriptions. The guide asks you to open your product template. You wrap the product description output with a tag that adds a data- attribute. This is a separate manual change. You must undo it if you want a clean removal.
Step-by-Step Uninstall Process
Follow these steps in order. Do not skip the theme cleanup.
- Log in to your Shopify admin. Use your store URL followed by
/admin. - Open the Apps section. It is in the left sidebar.
- Find SeaText AI. Look in the installed apps list.
- Click Delete. The button may be a trash icon.
- Confirm the deletion. Shopify will ask you to confirm.
- Go to Online Store > Themes. This is where your theme files live.
- Click the three dots next to your active theme. Select Edit code.
- Open
theme.liquid. It is in the Layout folder. - Search for the SeaText snippet. Look for
SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATIONorseatext. - Delete the whole script block. Include the opening and closing
<script>tags. - Save the file. Click Save in the top right.
SeaText’s integration guide uses the marker SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION in the code section. That marker is a reliable way to find the snippet.
Remove the SeaText Code Snippet from Your Theme
The snippet sits inside the <head> section of theme.liquid. It looks like a small JavaScript block. The code may include the text SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION. Remove the entire block.
<script> // SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION (function() { ... })(); </script>Do not remove other scripts. Do not remove the </head> tag. Copy the file to a text editor before editing if you want a backup.
If you use more than one theme, check each theme. The integration may exist in the live theme only. It can also exist in a draft theme if you added it there. Open each theme’s theme.liquid and search for seatext.
Some stores place the snippet in a snippet file. SeaText’s guide tells you to use theme.liquid. If you cannot find it there, use the theme editor’s search box. Search all files for seatext. The snippet may live in a file such as snippets/seatext.liquid.
For product descriptions, check your product template. The SeaText integration guide describes a tag that wraps the product description output. This tag can add a data- attribute to your HTML. If you see such a tag, remove it the same way you added it. The file is often product.liquid or product-template.liquid.
Verify Complete Removal
Use a private browsing window to test your storefront. A private window avoids cached pages and old sessions.
- Open an incognito or private window.
- Go to your storefront URL.
- Open Developer Tools. Use F12 or right-click and choose Inspect.
- Open the Network tab.
- Reload the page.
- Search the requests for
seatext. - Open the Elements tab.
- Search the HTML for
seatext.
If you see no matches, the code is gone. If you still see matches, the snippet is still in a theme file. Search every file again.
Certain caching tools can keep old JavaScript for a while. Shopify’s CDN, Cloudflare, and caching apps may store a copy. Clear the caches and test again after a few minutes. SeaText’s source document does not give a cache timeline, so check with the vendor if the script persists for more than a day.
What Happens After Uninstalling
- The app leaves your Shopify admin. You will no longer manage SeaText AI from your Apps page.
- The theme snippet remains until you remove it. This is the main reason this guide includes theme editing.
- The optional product description tag remains if you added it. You must remove it manually.
- Your SeaText account is separate. The integration guide says you need a SEATEXT AI account before installation. Check with the vendor to learn what happens to the account and its data after uninstall.
- Multiple domains need separate removal. SeaText’s guide says each domain uses its own SeaText account. Remove the snippet from each domain if you installed it there.
- The AI agents stop running when the code is gone. SeaText describes agents that rewrite copy and translate pages in real time. Without the snippet, none of that code can run on your storefront.
If you want to reinstall later, repeat the installation steps. Copy a fresh snippet from your SeaText account and paste it into theme.liquid. The source document warns that separate accounts are needed for separate domains. It also says development URLs such as localhost are restricted. Use a valid, real domain.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
SeaText does not appear in the Apps list
Check Apps and sales channels. Look for a different store or collaborator account. If you cannot find it, contact Shopify or check with the vendor.
The snippet is not in theme.liquid
Search all theme files for seatext. The snippet might be in a snippet file. It might also be in a different theme.
The script still loads after deletion
Clear caches and test in a private window. If it still loads, search again. Some servers keep old copies of files.
Product pages still show SeaText attributes
The product description tag from the integration guide leaves a data- attribute. Open your product template and remove the tag. Save the file and test a product page.
I cannot find the code marker
The marker SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION appears in the SeaText installation area. Your saved copy should include it. If the code was minified, search for a shorter string such as seatext.

Limitations of This Guide
SeaText’s published integration guide explains installation and the product description tag. It does not provide a detailed uninstall checklist. This guide matches the manual steps from that source. Some uninstall details, such as billing and account data retention, are not in the published source document. Check with the vendor for those details.
- If you installed SeaText with a different method, the code location may differ.
- If Shopify added an app embed or app block in a newer version, the cleanup may be automatic. The source document does not include that method.
- The
data-attribute in product descriptions must be undone manually. - Separate SeaText accounts for multiple domains mean you must clean each domain separately.
FAQ
Does deleting the app cancel my SeaText subscription?
Deleting the app removes it from your Shopify admin. Billing depends on how you pay. Check with the vendor for details.
Will visitors still see translations after uninstall?
SeaText’s translation agent rewrites page content in real time through JavaScript. After you remove the snippet, visitors see the original theme content.
Can I keep my SeaText account and disconnect Shopify?
The SeaText account is separate from the Shopify admin. The integration guide requires an account before installation. Check with the vendor to confirm account settings after uninstall.
What if I use multiple domains?
SeaText’s guide says each domain needs its own account. Check each domain’s theme files and remove any SeaText snippet.
Do I need to delete the product description tag?
Only if you added it. The integration guide describes the optional tag. If you leave it, a data- attribute may remain in your product HTML.
Where can I find SeaText support?
SeaText’s website provides pricing, login, and documentation links. Use the source document at seatext.com/shopify-integration or contact the vendor.
