# Place a trust badge with shortcode

Place a trust badge at an exact position in your Shopify theme using its shortcode.

Turn on **Product page** in the trust badge editor when the app's built-in position works for your store. When you need the trust badge somewhere else — for example directly below the buy buttons — copy its shortcode and add the **Samita Trust Badge** app block at that exact position in your theme.

## Where to find the shortcode

The shortcode is available in two places:

* **Trust badge table** — open **Sami Product Labels → Extra Features → Trust Badges**. Copy the snippet from the **Shortcode** column of the trust badge you want to place.
* **Trust badge editor** — click the row's edit action, open **Placement**, then click **Copy** in the **Shortcode** section.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Save the trust badge before copying its shortcode. An unsaved trust badge uses `data-id="new"`, which will not render on your storefront.
{% endhint %}

## Place the shortcode in your theme

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Copy the saved trust badge's shortcode

Copy the snippet from the table or the editor. It looks like this, with a unique ID for your trust badge:

```html
<div class="samitaPL-trustBadge" data-id="4477"></div>
```

Do not reuse a snippet from another row. Each trust badge has its own `data-id`.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Open the theme editor

In your Shopify admin, open **Online Store**. Find the theme you want to update and click **Edit theme**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Open the product template

Use the page selector at the top of the theme editor, then choose **Products → Default product** or another product template used by your store.

In the sections panel, expand **Product information**. The existing blocks — such as **Title**, **Price**, **Buy buttons**, and **Description** — show where the trust badge can be inserted.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Add the Samita Trust Badge block

Click **Add block**, select the **Apps** tab, then choose **Samita Trust Badge** from **Sami Product Labels**. Drag the new block to the position you want, such as directly below **Buy buttons**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Paste the shortcode and save the theme

Select the **Samita Trust Badge** block and paste the complete snippet into its **Shortcode** field. Click **Save** in the theme editor.

{% hint style="info" %}
The app block also provides **Check how to get embed code** to reopen this guide and **Manage app** to return to Sami Product Labels.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Check the storefront

Open a product that uses the edited template and confirm that the trust badge appears in the expected position.

If it does not appear, verify that:

* the trust badge is **Active**, not Draft;
* the shortcode contains the saved trust badge's exact `data-id`;
* the full `<div class="samitaPL-trustBadge" ...></div>` snippet is in the **Shortcode** field;
* the product uses the theme template you edited;
* the **Samita Trust Badge** block is visible and the theme changes were saved.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

## Built-in placement vs. shortcode

| Method           | How it works                                                                                                                                   |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Product page** | Turn on the switch in **Placement** to show the trust badge at the app's built-in position on all product pages. No theme editing is required. |
| **Shortcode**    | Paste the saved trust badge's snippet into a **Samita Trust Badge** app block to control its exact position.                                   |

If you enable both methods on the same product template, the trust badge can appear twice. Use the product-page switch for the built-in position or the shortcode app block for a custom position.
