Trust Badges – Payment Icons & Secure Checkout Seals for WooCommerce vs Hustle –

Trust Badges is a free WordPress plugin that displays payment icons, security seals and guarantee badges on your product, cart and footer areas. It works with WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads, and on any WordPress site through a shortcode. Shoppers look for familiar payment logos and reassurance signals before they hand over card details. Trust Badges lets you place those signals exactly where the hesitation happens — under the add-to-cart button, on the cart page, or in the footer — without writing any code or uploading image files. What’s New in 1.2.0 Version 1.2.0 is a substantial security, performance and correctness release. Highlights: Faster front end. The badge manifest is now parsed once per request instead of once per badge, and results are cached. Badge rendering went from roughly 1 ms per badge to effectively zero. Lighter admin. The settings screen bundle is minified and no longer ships a source map — about 3 MB less to download. Fixed: WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks. A leftover filter in earlier versions disabled WooCommerce’s Cart and Checkout blocks across the whole site. It has been removed. Fixed: monochrome badge styles. The “mono” and “mono-card” styles now render correctly on every supported WordPress version; their CSS mask was previously being stripped before output. Shortcodes now accept named groups too. [trust_badges id="1"] and a bare [trust_badges] behave exactly as before; [trust_badges id="footer"] and other named groups now work as well, where previously they rendered nothing. Fixed: settings changes appear immediately instead of after a one-hour cache delay. Security. Removed an unauthenticated REST endpoint that exposed badge configuration to anonymous visitors, and hardened input validation throughout. See the changelog for the complete list.

Customize Badges: Change sizes, colors, and positions. Shortcodes: Use shortcodes to display badges anywhere on your site. Shortcode Usage The plugin uses badge groups to organize different sets of badges. Each group can have different settings, selected badges, and display options. Display badges by group ID: [trust_badges id=”product_page”] [trust_badges id=”cart”] [trust_badges id=”footer”] Display badges without specifying an ID: [trust_badges] A bare [trust_badges] uses group 1 — the ID given to the first custom group you create — exactly as it always has. Only if no group 1 exists does it fall back to the footer group. Built-in Badge Groups: * product_page: Badges for product pages with payment methods * cart: Badges for cart pages with checkout assurance * footer: Badges for footer display with trust signals Groups you create yourself are numbered (1, 2, 3, …) and that number is the ID to use: [trust_badges id="2"]. The built-in groups above can now be referenced by name as well. You can create and manage badge groups in the plugin settings under Settings -> Trust Badges. WooCommerce Integration The plugin automatically integrates with WooCommerce and displays badges on: * Product pages (after the add-to-cart form) * Cart page (both the classic cart and the Cart block) Easy Digital Downloads Integration For EDD users, badges are displayed on: * Download pages (after the purchase link) Badges can be placed anywhere else, including checkout, using the shortcode. Requirements WordPress: 4.7 or higher (tested up to 7.0) PHP: 7.4 or higher WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads: optional — only needed for automatic placement Support For support, please visit the plugin support page or create an issue on our GitHub repository.
