Examples

Let say I have an HTML code:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
	<div class="product-single__meta">
		<h1 class="product-single__title">Basic knit dress chest</h1>
		<form class="product-form product-form-product-template">
			<input type="hidden" name="form_type" value="product"><input type="hidden" name="utf8" value="✓">
			<div class="product-form__item product-form__item--submit product-form__item--payment-button">
				<button type="submit" name="add" aria-label="Add to cart" class="btn product-form__cart-submit btn--secondary-accent" data-add-to-cart="">Add to cart</button>
			</div>
		</form>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

And I want to add a HTML snippet (a trust seal image) to HTML code above:

<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2588/5532/files/PROD1_500x.png?v=1523432071" />

If you define:

Insert position: the end of
ID/CLASS/TAG: .product-form

Code Customizer will add your snippet to the end of elements that matched with a class is product-form. And result HTML code is:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
	<div class="product-single__meta">
		<h1 class="product-single__title">Basic knit dress chest</h1>
		<form class="product-form product-form-product-template">
			<input type="hidden" name="form_type" value="product"><input type="hidden" name="utf8" value="✓">
			<div class="product-form__item product-form__item--submit product-form__item--payment-button">
				<button type="submit" name="add" aria-label="Add to cart" class="btn product-form__cart-submit btn--secondary-accent" data-add-to-cart="">Add to cart</button>
			</div>
			<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2588/5532/files/PROD1_500x.png?v=1523432071" />
		</form>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

As you can see your snippet(img element) inserted to the end of all elements in form element.

Here is example result in store when we want to insert a trust seal image after "Buy now" button:

If you define:

Insert position: the beginning of
ID/CLASS/TAG: .product-form

			<input type="hidden" name="form_type" value="product"><input type="hidden" name="utf8" value="✓">
			<div class="product-form__item product-form__item--submit product-form__item--payment-button">
				<button type="submit" name="add" aria-label="Add to cart" class="btn product-form__cart-submit btn--secondary-accent" data-add-to-cart="">Add to cart</button>
			</div>
		</form>
	</div>
</body>
