How to set it up

1

Create a Trust Badges checkout block

Go to Checkout Blocks, then New Block. Select Trust Badges as the type and choose the checkout step where it should appear.

2

Choose your badges

Select from SSL Secure, Money-back Guarantee, Free Returns, Payment icons (Visa, MC, PayPal), and review counts.

3

Position before payment

The highest-impact placement is Before Payment -- it addresses security concerns at the exact moment customers hesitate.

4

A/B test badge combinations

Create a Checkout Test with 2 variants: one with just security badges, one adding a 10,000+ happy customers counter.

5

Activate and measure

Launch the block and track checkout completion rate in your analytics to measure the conversion lift.

Pro tips

  • Less is more -- 3-4 badges looks polished, 10 badges looks desperate.
  • Match badge style to your brand (minimal for premium brands, colorful for mass market).
  • Add a short 30-day free returns text below the badges for extra reassurance.
  • Test different badge combinations to find what resonates with your audience.
