How to Set Up a Single Image Influencer Endorsement at Checkout

Steps to adding a single image influencer endorsement to Checkout using a Checkout Experience

Social Proof Image

Adding an Influencer Endorsement Image Block at checkout is a great way to build instant trust and credibility. It lets you showcase a celebrity, creator, or partner endorsement right at the moment a shopper is completing their purchase, turning familiarity and social proof into conversion.

Who is this for

This experience is designed for all visitors — it should display for 100% of checkout traffic. Every shopper benefits from seeing recognizable social proof or influencer credibility, especially those unfamiliar with your brand.

What this Experience does

This experience adds a single image to your Shopify checkout page. The block features a bold, single-line endorsement from the influencer to help build trust.

This example includes:

• Influencer image

• Influencer quote

You can position the image anywhere within the checkout, most often near the order total or payment section for maximum visibility.

When to use it

Use the Influencer Endorsement Image Block when you want to:

• Build credibility and trust with a familiar face

• Reinforce social proof from press, creators, or partnerships

• Showcase your brand’s influence and recognition

• Convert brand awareness into purchase confidence

Pro Tip: A Checkout Experience can include multiple blocks. Combine a trust badge above your payment section with a social proof header or image block for maximum impact.

Why it matters

Social proof is one of the strongest drivers of purchase confidence. Featuring recognizable endorsements or public praise where customers finalize their orders helps remove last-minute doubts and builds deeper trust in your brand.
