Hi Gabriel - Would I have to add the call to the shortcode in the MarketPress Checkout-Edit page itself? If so, would I have to replace this code when I update MarketPress? Thanks!

Hey. As long as you save this code snippet in your themes functions.php file and use the shortcode in a page content you are fine. If you paste this code in a MarketPress plugin file however then you will lose them when you update.
