Payment Icons not showing on Galleria Theme Footer

Store Design

Topic summary

A store using the Galleria theme is experiencing issues displaying payment icons in the footer—only PayPal appears despite having multiple payment methods (including Stripe) enabled in settings.

Troubleshooting steps provided:

  1. Enable via Theme Settings: Navigate to Online Store > Themes > Customize > Footer section and ensure “Show payment icons” is checked.

  2. Manual Code Addition: Access Online Store > Themes > Edit code, locate footer.liquid in the Sections directory, and insert code that manually specifies which payment icons to display (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal).

  3. Fix JSON Tag Errors: The user reports continuous JSON tag errors when saving footer.liquid. Recommended fixes include:

    • Using a JSON validator to check for syntax errors (missing commas, incorrect brackets)
    • Ensuring JSON within {% schema %} tags is properly formatted

Current status: The issue remains unresolved due to persistent JSON formatting errors preventing code changes from being saved. Further assistance from Shopify Support or a Shopify expert may be needed if these steps don’t resolve the problem.

Hi Shopify Community,

Our store isn’t showing the payment icons other than paypal.

We’ve checked all the boxes on the storefront payment settings. Our Stripe is properly configured, we’ve tried to edit the code ourselves based off some other queries. But continuously face json tag errors when trying to save our new footer.liquid file.

Could really use some help in getting this fixed.

Sincerely,

Hi @allstufftesla

To display payment icons other than PayPal in your store’s footer, follow these steps:

1-Enable Payment Icons in Theme Settings:

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  • Click Customize on your current theme: https://prnt.sc/T875Qg2WWrdT
  • In the theme editor, select the Footer section.
  • Ensure the Show payment icons option is checked.
  • Click Save.

2-Manually Add Payment Icons in Code:

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  • Click Actions > Edit code on your current theme: https://prnt.sc/e2RRNKGplQEn
  • In the Sections directory, locate and click on footer.liquid.
  • Find the section where payment icons are displayed.
  • Replace the existing code with the following, adjusting the list of payment types as needed:

    {% assign payment_types = “visa,master,american_express,paypal” | split: ‘,’ %}

    {% for type in payment_types %}

  • {{ type }}

    • {% endfor %}

  • Click Save.

This code manually specifies which payment icons to display in the footer. Ensure that the payment methods listed are enabled in your payment settings.

3- Fix JSON Tag Errors in footer.liquid:

  • Ensure that any JSON within {% schema %} tags is correctly formatted.
  • Use a JSON validator to check for errors like missing commas or incorrect brackets.
  • After correcting any issues, save the file again.

If issues persist after these steps, consider reaching out to Shopify Support or consulting with a Shopify expert for further assistance.
