What earns each verdict

Same outcomes on every UXFix rule · how verdicts work
✓ Pass38

≥3 payment-method logos visible somewhere on PDP+footer.

~ Partial1

Some but limited.

✕ Fail1

No payment-method indication anywhere.

not assessable is recorded when the rule applied but the store could not be judged on it (bot protection, a region lock, a step we could not reach), and not applicable when the store has nothing for the rule to judge. Those stores are left out of every number on this page, never guessed. Why we do that
Why it matters

The product page does not show which payment methods you accept. Shoppers only find out at checkout.

Some buyers filter on payment method (Apple Pay, PayPal, Klarna, Afterpay) before they commit. Others want to see a familiar logo (Visa, Mastercard) as a trust signal. Hiding this costs sales you would have won.

That sentence is the one a failing store sees in its own UXFix report.How rules are weighted and scored

The fix

The same steps a failing store sees in its report

A pass means: ≥3 payment-method logos visible somewhere on PDP+footer.

Score gain
+0.4pts

Score gain is roughly what a fail-to-pass change adds; rules that could not be judged are left out, which can move it a little. Re-run a free audit after the change ships to confirm the verdict moved.

Checklist for the pass
