Enabled payment methods not showing in footer

Store Design
,

Topic summary

A user reports that enabled payment method icons (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal) are not displaying in their Shopify store footer despite:

Troubleshooting attempts:

  • Enabling the option in theme settings
  • Adding custom code from Shopify’s help center to force display of specific payment types
  • Changing background color to rule out visibility issues (icons remain invisible)

Technical details:

  • The code snippet uses Liquid templating to assign and display payment types
  • A screenshot was shared showing extra space on a black canvas where icons should appear
  • The issue persists with no visible effect from the code changes

Current status:
Another user asks whether payment processing has been properly configured, suggesting this may be a prerequisite for icon display. The issue remains unresolved with the root cause unclear—either a theme configuration problem or missing payment gateway setup.

My Online store is not showing the accepted payment methods in the footer menu, i have ticked the option on the settings sidebar but it will n o show up.

I have also tried editing the script with the code provided by the help center below:

{% assign enabled_payment_types = 'visa,master,american_express,paypal' | remove: ' ' | split: ',' %}
{% for type in enabled_payment_types %}

This also has no effect other than a little bit of extra space on the black canvas.
I have tried changing the background color to see if that was the issue but it was not.
Please help?
