Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. Badgevo requires an active WooCommerce installation because it inserts the badge row after the add-to-cart button on the single product page. Without WooCommerce active the plugin renders no badges. The [trust_badges] shortcode also depends on WooCommerce.
Does it load anything from third-party servers?
No. All ten badges are inline SVGs served from your own site, so the storefront loads nothing from third parties and makes no network requests. The plugin contains no tracking or analytics. Your settings are stored in a single trust_settings option on your site.
Which badges are bundled?
Badgevo includes ten hand-drawn SVG badges: secure checkout, SSL encrypted, money-back guarantee, verified store, free shipping, card payment, digital wallet, 24/7 support, privacy protected and satisfaction. You choose which to show on the settings screen. They all use currentColor so they inherit the icon colour you pick.
Will it slow my store down or shift the layout?
No. The badge row is CSS-only and adds no JavaScript on the storefront. The stylesheet loads only where the badges actually appear, and when badges are disabled nothing loads at all. As a result Badgevo does not cause layout shift (CLS).
Can I place badges somewhere custom?
Yes. Use the [trust_badges] shortcode to render the row anywhere shortcodes are supported, such as content, a widget or a block. You can also turn off the show-on-product option and place the row only by hand. The shortcode renders the same selected badges as the automatic row.
Does Badgevo pair with Quotlet and Respondo?
Yes. Quotlet adds a request-a-quote path and Respondo handles pre-sale questions. Badgevo complements them with trust signals at the buy decision.
How does Badgevo compare to Trust Badges?
Badgevo ships bundled self-hosted SVG badges with colour theming, no external requests, and no layout shift for free, adding a sticky trust bar, per-product sets, and impression analytics in its paid edition from €19/yr. The free Trust Badges plugin offers a large prebuilt library with a premium upgrade and a GPL core. Badgevo focuses on performance and accessibility with zero third-party calls. Pricing as of June 2026.
