About this plugin
Gatemi Trust Badges puts a quiet row of reassurance under the button a shopper is about to press: the payment methods your checkout actually offers, and the promises your shop actually keeps.
The payment row is built from your own store. Every plugin in this category ships a lump of twenty card logos and lets you tick them — and then the shop advertises a scheme it cannot take, and the shopper finds out at the pay button, which is the one moment a trust badge is supposed to be earning its place. Here the row is read from the gateways you have switched on, named in the words your own checkout uses.
Rename a gateway and the row follows it. Switch one off and it disappears. Offer none and there is no row at all rather than an empty strip.
Nothing is fetched from anybody else. Every icon is inline SVG shipped with the plugin, so it paints with the page, costs no request, works on a site with no outbound network, and takes its colour from your theme. No CDN, no third party watching your shoppers on the page where they are typing a card number, and nothing to break the day somebody else’s host moves.
No borrowed certifications. There is deliberately no “Norton Secured”, no “McAfee SECURE” and no “PCI Compliant” seal. Those marks belong to companies that certify a site; printing one you have not earned is a false claim on the page where a false claim matters most.
What is here is your own truth in your own words — and the “Secure checkout” padlock is only offered when your site really is served over HTTPS.
Always below the button, never above it. A strip of reassurance between a shopper and the button they came for costs orders rather than winning them. The badges print through WooCommerce’s own hooks, after the button, and there is no JavaScript at all — so they work behind a page cache and cannot shift your layout.
