Trust Badges

Trust Badges display trust indicators directly on the product page. This block combines up to three elements: payment method icons, a custom image, and a star rating.

How to Add It

  1. Open the Shopify theme editor
  2. Navigate to a product page
  3. Click Add a block in the product section
  4. Select Trust Badges
ℹ️This block is limited to 1 per section. It is available on the main product page and the Featured Product section.

The 3 Components

The Trust Badges block consists of three independent elements, all optional:

Settings

Payment Icons

SettingTypeDefaultDescription
Show payment badgesCheckboxYesDisplays SVG icons of active payment methods

The displayed icons automatically correspond to the payment methods you have configured in Settings > Payments of your Shopify store. The most common icons include:

  • Visa, Mastercard, American Express
  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay
  • PayPal, Klarna, iDEAL
  • And all other active payment methods
💡No need to manually configure the icons. Scale Theme automatically detects your active payment methods via shop.enabled_payment_types and generates the corresponding SVG icons.

Use Cases

Payment reassurance

Enable only the payment icons to show available payment methods. Particularly effective for stores with an international audience that wants to verify their payment method is accepted.

Guarantee badge

Upload a custom image showing your return policy, satisfaction guarantee, or certification. Combine with payment icons for maximum trust.

Quick social proof

Enable the star rating to display an overall rating and reassurance text. Ideal if you don't have a review app but want to display a manual rating.

Full combination

Enable all three components for maximum impact:

  1. Payment icons (transactional trust)
  2. Guarantee badge (service trust)
  3. Star rating (social proof)
⚠️Don't overdo it. Too many trust badges can have the opposite effect and appear suspicious. Choose 1 or 2 relevant components rather than enabling all three systematically.
