About Badgevo – Trust Badges for WooCommerce
From the official readme · v1.1.4Description
Badgevo shows a row of secure-checkout badges after the add-to-cart button, under a short heading like “Guaranteed safe checkout”. The idea is simple: put a reminder that the store is safe right where the shopper decides whether to buy.
The plugin includes ten hand-drawn inline 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 pick which ones to show, write the heading (or turn the heading off for icons only) and set the icon colour.
It is built to stay out of the way:
- No external requests. The badges are inline SVGs served from your own site, so nothing loads from third parties and there is nothing to track.
- No JavaScript on the storefront. The badge row is plain CSS, so it does not add a script or shift the layout as the page loads.
- Accessible. Each badge has an accessible name and the row is marked up as a list. The small hover animation is skipped for visitors who set
prefers-reduced-motion. - Inherits your colour. Set one colour and every badge follows it via
currentColor.
The source lives on GitHub at github.com/wppoland/plogins-trust if you want to read the code or report a bug.

Where badges appear
- Single product page, after the add-to-cart button.
- Anywhere via the
[trust_badges]shortcode.
Settings
A settings page under the WooCommerce menu lets you:
- Enable or disable the badges.
- Write the heading, or turn it off for icons only. Left empty, it uses the bundled wording in your site language.
- Pick which bundled badges to show.
- Choose the icon colour.
External Services
Badgevo does not connect to any external services. Every badge is a bundled inline SVG served from your own site, so the storefront output loads nothing from third parties and the plugin makes no network requests. Your choices (the heading, selected badges and icon colour) are kept on your own site in a single trust_settings option, alongside a trust_db_version marker; both are removed when you delete the plugin. The plugin sends no email and stores no visitor or customer data.
Translations
Badgevo is fully translatable and ships the badgevo.pot template. Translations are delivered by WordPress.org language packs from translate.wordpress.org, which is where Polish, German and Spanish are being contributed; the package itself carries no compiled translation files.
Installation
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/badgevo, or install via Plugins > Add New. - Activate it. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
- Visit WooCommerce > Trust Badges to choose your badges, heading and colour.
Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. Badgevo requires an active WooCommerce installation.
Does it load anything from third-party servers?
No. All bundled badges are inline SVGs served from your own site.
Will it slow my store down or shift the layout?
No. The storefront output is CSS-only with no JavaScript, so it does not cause layout shift.
Can I place badges somewhere custom?
Yes. Use the [trust_badges] shortcode to render the row anywhere shortcodes are supported.
Which badges are included?
A curated set of inline SVG icons (secure checkout, shipping, returns and similar). Choose which to show in settings.
Does this plugin work on WordPress Multisite?
Yes. This plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite. Network activate it or activate it on individual sites; each site keeps its own settings and data.
Changelog
1.1.4
- Turning the plugin off no longer prints the raw [trust_badges] shortcode on pages that use it; the shortcode now renders nothing while the badges are disabled.
- The settings screen shows the “Settings saved.” confirmation after a save.
- The PRO feature cards are translatable like the rest of the screen and no longer show internal notes or a menu path as a feature.
- Deleting the plugin on a multisite network removes its settings from every site, not only the current one.
1.1.3
- The upgrade notice’s “Coming soon” and “Get notified” labels are English source strings for every language; Polish sites used to get their own Polish source text, which translators in other languages then saw untranslated.
1.1.2
- Renamed to Badgevo, a plain English name in place of the Esperanto one. The text domain and the plugin folder follow the name; the stored settings, options and every hook are unchanged.
1.1.1
- The sidebar upgrade promo now follows the same dismissal as the banner. Dismissing the banner used to leave a full-height advert on the settings screen for good, which is not what the WordPress.org guideline on upgrade prompts means by used with moderation.
1.1.0
- Renamed to Fidindo. The WordPress.org review team asks a plugin name to lead with a distinctive, coined identifier rather than a generic descriptive word. Fidindo comes from the Esperanto fidinda, trustworthy. The text domain follows the name; the stored data, the settings and every hook are unchanged.
1.0.12
- Fixed: the PRO upgrade promo kept selling to people who had already bought the paid edition. Only the banner could be dismissed, so the sidebar promo and the locked feature cards followed a paying customer around for good. The promo now checks whether the paid edition is active and steps aside when it is.
- Fixed: arrow glyphs in the admin menu paths, and in the strings handed to translators. An arrow inside a translatable string makes the glyph every translator’s problem and changes the layout in any locale that drops it.
