- Short answer
- Payment icons follow your active providers and the customer's region and currency; Horizon and Dawn footer settings show or hide them, not pick them.
- Horizon default footer
- No Payment icons block in Shopify's official repository as of October 2026; you add it
- Stores on Dawn
- A Footer section checkbox labelled Payment method icons
- Third-party gateway
- Icons might not display due to platform limitations
How do you add or hide the Payment icons block in Horizon?
Horizon's default footer has no Payment icons block in Shopify's official repository as of October 2026, but its Footer section accepts one. Add it with Shopify's steps for adding a block:
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store, find your Horizon theme and click Edit theme.
- Hover over the Footer section, click Add block and select Payment icons, or find it with the Search blocks field.
- Click Save.
- Online Store
- Edit theme
To take the icons off, hover on the block's name in the sidebar and click Hide, or Delete to remove it, then save.
Stores still on Dawn use a Footer section checkbox labelled Payment method icons instead.
Which icons show, and can you choose them?
Shopify's Liquid reference says the payment types behind the icons are based on your enabled payment providers and the customer's current region and currency. The block takes those types from shop.enabled_payment_types.
The block's own settings, in Horizon's official repository as of October 2026, cover alignment, gap and padding. To change which icons appear, change the payment methods you have active.
Why isn't a payment icon showing?
If the footer shows no icons or misses one, work through Shopify's troubleshooting checks in order:
- Confirm the icons are on in the theme editor's Footer section. Shopify names the setting Show payment icons; in Horizon it is the Payment icons block, added and not hidden; in Dawn, the Payment method icons checkbox is ticked.
- In Settings > Payments, check that at least one payment method is active.
- Finish account setup where a method needs it: some might require it before their icons display.
- With a third-party payment gateway, the icons might not display due to platform limitations.
One icon missing for some customers can also be the region-and-currency filter described above.
