Getting Started: Trust Badges for WooCommerce

WooCommerce / Getting Started

Trust Badges for WooCommerce shows payment, security, and guarantee icons on product pages, the cart, and the footer. Use the built-in groups or a shortcode for a custom group.

Installation

WooCommerce should be installed and active for automatic product and cart placement. The plugin needs WordPress 5.8+, WooCommerce 5.0+, and PHP 7.4+.

1. Download the zip from your purchase email or from File Downloads.
2. In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and upload the zip.
3. Or unzip and copy the yh-woo-trust-badges folder into /wp-content/plugins/.
4. Activate Trust Badges for WooCommerce on the Plugins screen.

Activate your license

A license key is required for automatic updates and support.

1. Copy the key from License keys or your purchase email.
2. In WordPress go to WooCommerce → Trust Badges and open the License tab.
3. Paste the key and save to activate it.

If the key shows as expired or “Register your copy”, see License shows expired or Register your copy.

Open the settings

Go to WooCommerce → Trust Badges. Each group has a live preview on the right.

Badge groups

Three groups are created on activation. Turn a group off if you do not want it on the front end.

Group ID	Where it shows	Default header
product_page	After the add to cart form on single products	Secure Payment Methods
cart	Classic cart totals, and after the block cart	Secure Cart
footer	Site footer on every page	Payment Options

Custom groups can use any ID, including a number. They only show where you put a shortcode.

Group settings

Setting	What it controls
Header	Optional heading above the badges, plus font size and text colour.
Alignment	Left, center, or right for the header and the badge row.
Style	Original, monochrome, card, or mono-card.
Size	Separate desktop and mobile sizes.
Colour	Tint used by monochrome styles.
Animation	Optional fade or similar on load.
Selected badges	The icons in that group, in order.

Shortcode

Paste this into a page, post, or widget:

[trust_badges]

That prints the footer group. Pass id for another group:

[trust_badges id="product_page"]
[trust_badges id="cart"]
[trust_badges id="footer"]
[trust_badges id="my_custom_group"]

[yh_trust_badges] is an alias of the same shortcode.

Custom badges

1. In a group, upload an image.
2. Set alt text when you upload. You can edit it later.
3. The file is stored under wp-content/uploads/yh-woo-trust-badges/ so it survives plugin updates.

SVG uploads are sanitised. Scripts and event-handler attributes are stripped before save.

Front end

Default product-page badges sit under the add to cart button. Cart badges sit with cart totals on classic templates, and after the cart block on block themes.
