Use Payment icons on its supported pages to help customers with the task described below. Configure it in Rivio, save its activation state, and then add the corresponding block in Shopify’s checkout and accounts editor.

Supported pages and requirements

Supported pages: Checkout. Checkout placement requires Shopify Plus. Your Rivio app plan must also include the feature. Check the page labels on the current block card before setup.

When to use this block

  • Display logos for payment methods the store actually accepts.

Configuration settings

Setting How to configure it
Icons Choose logos matching methods enabled in Shopify.
Appearance Review size, alignment, spacing, and contrast.

Use the controls available in your current configuration screen. Save a clearly named configuration, then confirm that Shopify’s editor uses that same configuration.

Screenshot to add: The Payment icons configuration form with its content and appearance settings visible.

Rivio blocks add content or input fields to supported checkout and account pages. Configure the content in Rivio and place the block in Shopify’s editor.

Worked example: Show logos for methods your store accepts

Example setup: Payment methods enabled in Shopify, for example Visa and PayPal.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open UI extension blocks and find Payment icons. Check the supported pages on its card.

  2. Choose Set up or Manage and create a configuration with a clear internal name.

  3. Review Shopify payment settings before selecting logos.

  4. Choose only the supported icons corresponding to methods you actually accept.

  5. Set the offered icon size, alignment, and spacing.

  6. Preview contrast against the checkout background.

  7. Review the preview and any display conditions. For the first demo, leave optional conditions empty so you can isolate placement.

  8. Save as Active. Open the Checkout and Accounts Editor, select the intended configuration and supported target page, and add the matching Rivio block in a supported location.

  9. Select the saved configuration if prompted and save Shopify’s editor. Test the actual customer page on desktop and a phone.

Verify the result

Test case Expected result or verification
Icon block placed The chosen logos display.
PayPal logo present PayPal availability still follows actual payment settings and rules.
Phone view Icons remain clear without overlapping.

Important: Icons are informational; they do not create, enable, hide, or reorder payment methods. Checkout-step UI blocks require Shopify Plus. For another surface, use only the pages supported by this block’s card.

If the result is different

Check What it means / what to do
Block unavailable in checkout Confirm Shopify Plus and the supported target location.
Visible but behavior differs Check the individual saved block options and actual checkout result, including submitted data or fees.
Configured block differs from the preview Check the selected configuration and test on the actual supported customer page.

Add and verify each supported placement

  1. Open Settings → Checkout in Shopify admin and customise the intended configuration.
  2. Select the exact supported page: Checkout. For Profile, use the customer-account page selector.
  3. Add the matching Rivio app block in a supported location and select the saved configuration if prompted.
  4. Save the editor. Add and save each other intended page separately; one placement does not establish every placement.
  5. Preview desktop and mobile, then test the actual checkout, completed order, or signed-in account appropriate to that page.

Screenshot to add: Shopify’s editor showing the Payment icons block on the selected supported page, followed by the final customer view.

Limitations

  • Icons do not enable, hide, rename, or reorder payment methods.
  • Actual method availability depends on Shopify payment settings and applicable rules.

Display conditions depend on the page. Customer tags require logged-in customer context. Selected shipping method is unavailable on Order status. On Profile, only Customer, Language, Market, and Time on page conditions are evaluated; cart and order conditions are ignored.
