Essential Trust Badges & Icons and Scala Parcelamento Installment both enhance the customer-facing aspects of a Shopify store, but cater to distinct needs. Essential Trust Badges & Icons focuses on building trust and highlighting store guarantees through visual elements like badges, icons, and banners. It empowers merchants to showcase features, guarantees, and payment options prominently on their product pages using customizable visuals. This is designed to instill confidence in potential buyers and increase conversions. The app’s core value lies in visually communicating safety, security, and reliability. Scala Parcelamento Installment, on the other hand, is geared towards merchants offering Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) payment options. It automatically displays installment options from payment processors below product prices. Its strength is in clearly communicating affordability and payment flexibility to customers. Key features include compatibility with various BNPL services and currencies, theme integration, and a preview mode. It aims to increase average order value (AOV) by presenting payment options in an accessible and compelling way. While both contribute to improved conversion rates, their strategies and core features are quite different. The former focuses on visual trust signals, while the latter focuses on payment flexibility.

For merchants aiming to build immediate trust and showcase specific guarantees through visual branding, Essential Trust Badges & Icons is the stronger choice. It offers extensive customization options and a large library of elements. This is especially valuable for new stores or those in competitive markets where establishing credibility is crucial.
However, if your primary goal is to highlight Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) options to increase average order value by making purchases more affordable, Scala Parcelamento Installment is the better option. Its automated display of installment options, compatibility with various BNPL providers, and focus on payment flexibility make it a specialized tool for this purpose. While both improve conversions, one emphasizes trust and the other, affordability.
Yes, both apps can technically be used together. However, consider the potential for visual clutter and ensure that the combined effect enhances, rather than detracts from, the user experience.
