Trust works as soon as WooCommerce is active. On activation it seeds a default configuration, four secure-checkout badges with a “Guaranteed safe checkout” heading after the add-to-cart button, so a product page shows the row before you touch a setting.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • WordPress 6.5 or newer
  • WooCommerce 8.0 or newer (HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks are declared compatible)
  • PHP 8.1 or newer

Trust adds no front-end JavaScript, sends no external request and creates no database table, there is nothing else to provision.

Install

Section titled “Install”
  1. Install WooCommerce and make sure it is active. If it is missing, Trust stays inactive and shows an admin notice.
  2. Install Trust by uploading the trust folder to /wp-content/plugins/ (it is not yet on WordPress.org).
  3. Activate the plugin. On first boot it writes the default trust_settings option.

First configuration

Section titled “First configuration”

Open WooCommerce → Trust Badges. The screen has two cards:

  • Display, Enable trust badges (master switch), Show on product pages (the add-to-cart row), the Heading, and the Icon colour.
  • Badges, a checklist of the ten bundled badges. Tick the ones you want; the four defaults (secure checkout, SSL encrypted, money-back, card payment) start ticked.

Write a heading such as Guaranteed safe checkout, or clear the field to show the icons on their own. The heading field has a small inline preview next to it showing how the line will read. Click Save Changes; there are no caches to clear for the storefront to pick up the change.

Verify on a product page

Section titled “Verify on a product page”
  1. Open any single product page.
  2. Confirm the badge row appears directly under the add-to-cart button, with your heading above it.
  3. View source if you want to confirm the icons are inline <svg> markup served from your own site, no third-party image requests.
  4. Change the Icon colour and reload: the icons and heading re-tint from the one value.

The row only renders on single product pages while Show on product pages is on. Turn that off to keep the badges out of the product template and place them yourself with the shortcode instead.

Shortcode

Section titled “Shortcode”
[trust_badges]

Place this anywhere shortcodes run, a page, a block, a widget area, a custom template part. It renders the same row from your saved settings. The shortcode takes no attributes; what shows is whatever you configured on the settings screen.

Free vs Pro

Section titled “Free vs Pro”

The free edition is the complete product: the ten bundled badges, the heading, the product-page row, the icon colour and the [trust_badges] shortcode. A Pro edition is planned but not yet released, so nothing here is gated behind an upgrade.
