How to Add Trust Badges to Shopify (Step-by-Step Guide)

Trust is one of the most important factors in e-commerce. If customers don’t feel safe, they won’t complete a purchase - no matter how good your product may be. That’s why trust badges play a critical role. They reduce hesitation, build credibility, and can significantly improve your conversion rate.

In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to add trust badges to your Shopify store step by step using Progus Trust Badges & Icons.

Step 1: Install and Open Progus Trust Badges

To get started, you can install the app in two ways:

Option 1: From the Shopify App Store

• Go to the Shopify App Store
• Search for Progus Trust Badges & Icons
• Click Install

Option 2: From the Progus website

You can also install the app directly from the official page: Progus Trust Badges & Icons

After installation: Open the app from your Shopify dashboard

You’ll see the main dashboard with your setup guide.

Step 2: Activate the App Embed in Shopify

Before adding badges, you need to enable the app in your theme.

• Click Activate app
• Open the Shopify theme editor
• Make sure Progus Trust Badges app embed is enabled

This step ensures your badges can be displayed in your store.

Step 3: Create Your First Trust Badge

• Click Create badge
• Choose where you want your badge to appear

You can select:

• Product page

Choose placement based on where customers need reassurance the most.

Step 4: Customize Your Trust Badge Content

Now it’s time to create your badge.

In the Content tab, you can define:

• badge type (single banner, icon block, payment icons)
• title (e.g. “Free Shipping”)
• subheading
• icon
• call to action (optional)

You can choose whether your badge should:

• have no action
• include a button
• make the entire banner clickable

This is useful if you want to link users to important pages like shipping or return policies.

Remember to keep your message short, clear, and benefit-focused.

Step 5: Adjust the Design

Go to the Design tab to match the badge with your store.

You can customize:

• background color

• where the badge appears (top or bottom of cart)
• custom positioning
• geographic targeting

This allows you to show the right message to the right audience.

Step 7: Publish Your Badge

• Click Publish
• Preview your store
