How can I change the icons that appear both next the website name in the browser address bar, as well as the ones that appear next to items during checkout? Both appear to be the default Vendio icon.
It sounds like you are trying to edit the favicon? If so, you can link to your own custom favicon file. For this, you should edit __head.html and add something like this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{favicon_link}" type="image/x-icon"> You can put it as the first line of this file.
You may be able to use a simple Jpeg photo, otherwise to use an *.ico file you would need to have it hosted externally from your Vendio account or upload it directly into your storefront template data.
In the Storefront Editor, Advanced mode, download the current edited template, open the zip archive (in a directory), add the favicon.ico file in the template root, edit the __head.html file and add :
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> , select all the template files and add them to a zip archive and upload the zip using Upload your own template.

I'm not having any success. Do I need to have the graphic a particular size, or will it resize automatically? (I'm trying to use a jpg)
Unfortunately we do not have any help available for the custom code or specs needed to do this with a regular JPG image. The most commonly recognized format for these images is an ICO file and there are a number of free ico file generators available on the web.
The icon next to the item in the checkout flow is for the market the item was listed to - which in this case is for the Vendio store.
If it was an item listed to Amazon it would have the little Amazon icon, or if it was sold on eBay it would have the eBay icon.
This one isn't available to be edited at this time.

Is this icon visible to the customer, or just to me when I view the buyer's checkout?
Also, I take it back about the jpg favicon. I was able to get it to work - I apparently had a typo. I was also able to get a gif to work, which gave me slightly better results.
The icon is also viewable by the buyer when they go through checkout. If you haven't already, you might want to create a test order so that you can see the checkout from the buyer's perspective.
