How to add payment icons to the cart page?

0May 26, 2026
✨AI Overview

The Payment Icons feature in iCart Cart Drawer Cart Upsell allows store owners to display accepted payment method icons — such as Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and American Express — directly inside the cart. By adding payment icon HTML code through the Custom HTML widget, customers can see available payment options before reaching checkout, making the buying process smoother and more transparent. The guide covers how to find payment icon HTML from sources like Shopify Liquid filters and SimpleIcons, and provides step-by-step instructions for adding icons to both the Quick (Side) Cart and Full Cart. Additional CSS customization may be needed to align the icons correctly based on the store’s theme.

Adding payment icons to your cart page helps build trust and confidence before checkout. When your customers see familiar payment methods like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, or American Express right inside the cart, they feel more comfortable completing their purchase — without having to go all the way to the checkout page just to find out which payment options you accept.

With the iCart Cart Drawer Cart Upsell app, you can easily display payment icons inside your cart using the Custom HTML widget.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to add payment icons to your Quick (Side) Cart and Full Cart — step by step.

💳 Why Add Payment Icons to Your Cart?

Showing payment icons inside the cart has real benefits for your store:

  • Builds trust — Customers recognize familiar payment logos and feel confident purchasing.
  • Reduces friction — Customers don’t need to visit the checkout page just to check which payment methods you accept.
  • Smoother checkout — When payment options are visible early, customers can move through checkout without hesitation.
  • Professional appearance — A cart with payment icons looks polished and complete.

⚙️ How It Works

iCart allows you to customize the cart layout using widgets. The Custom HTML widget lets you paste any HTML — including payment icon SVG code — directly into your cart.

Here’s the overall process:

  • Step 1 — Identify which payment methods your store accepts.
  • Step 2 — Get the SVG/HTML code for those payment icons.
  • Step 3 — Add the HTML to your cart using the Custom HTML widget in iCart.
Where to get payment icon HTML: You can get payment icon code from Shopify’s Liquid payment SVG filter or from SimpleIcons.org. Use only the icons that match the payment methods your store actually supports.

Note: The example above shows only Visa and Mastercard for brevity. Add or remove icons based on the payment methods your store actually accepts. You can find SVG code for other payment methods at SimpleIcons.org or via Shopify’s payment SVG Liquid filter.
Payment icons displayed in iCart cart page

🎨 Fixing Alignment with Custom CSS

After adding the code, the payment icons might appear in a single column or look misaligned depending on your store’s theme. This is normal — a small CSS adjustment will fix it.

You can add custom CSS inside the iCart customizer to style the icons to match your store’s design. If you’re not comfortable writing CSS, feel free to contact our support team and we’ll help you get the alignment right.

Good to know: The CSS required will vary by store. The example code provided is based on our demo store — your store may need slightly different alignment or spacing adjustments based on your theme.

Here is the code we used in our demo store

.icart .footer__payment {
    margin-top: 1rem;
    margin-bottom: 1rem;
}
.icart .list-payment {
    justify-content: space-between;
}
