A payment icons block at checkout needs Shopify Plus; Basic and up get content blocks on Thank you and Order status pages only.

Up to 10, chosen from Shopify's fixed list of payment and shipping brands
Where the block shows
The checkout page only; the post-purchase pages don't support it
Payment steps below Plus
No built-in icon or badge block in the Shopify pages we read on October 19, 2026
Theme footer icons
A theme setting; theme settings, even Custom CSS, don't reach checkout

Can you add a payment icons block to Shopify checkout?

Yes, on Shopify Plus: the Checkout Blocks app's Shipping & Payment icons block shows the payment and shipping methods you accept as a trust-badge row. Shopify lists it as supported on the Checkout page only.

It isn't an image upload: you pick up to 10 icons in each block from Shopify's fixed list of payment and shipping brands. So your own “secure checkout” badge needs a different block: on Plus, for example a dynamic content block with an Image item.

What can you add below Shopify Plus?

On Basic and up, Checkout Blocks gives you static and dynamic content blocks, but only on the Thank you and Order status pages. A dynamic block can hold an Image item, so a badge image fits there. No Shopify page we read on October 19, 2026 — Checkout Blocks, checkout editor, checkout apps and checkout style help, plus the checkout UI extensions docs — describes a built-in way below Plus to put your own icons on the Information, Shipping or Payment steps.

For what else checkout keeps behind Plus, see the Plus line in checkout extensibility.

Footer payment icons are a theme setting, and theme settings don't reach checkout — even theme Custom CSS skips your checkout. Checkout has its own checkout and accounts editor, separate from the theme editor.

  2. Checkout
Edit opens the checkout editor, not the theme editor.

Checkout style lets you add your store logo to the checkout pages and an order summary background image, but the help page we read names no payment-icon or badge setting. Old checkout.liquid icon edits stopped working on the Information, Shipping and Payment pages on August 13, 2024.
