In partnership with Shipsurance, an Assurant company, Shopify is now offering included shipping insurance of up to $200 for eligible labels purchased through Shopify Shipping, the company’s shipping solution which offers a range of benefits. Shopify states that this included insurance is in early access and has limited availability.
Some of the beneifts which Shopify mentioned includes:
- Ship and deliver stress-free. No matter what happens to your shipments while in transit or upon delivery, know that you’re covered for package damage, loss, and theft on eligible orders.
- Save time and money on the replacement. In case a shipment needs to be replaced, you can recoup the value of the original merchandise damaged/lost/stolen, plus the shipping cost. File your claims directly from the Shopify admin (which only takes a minute) to speed up the process.
- Provide a better buying experience for your customers. Communicate your shipping insurance coverage (on your site’s FAQs, product, shipping and returns pages, etc.) to help reassure and convert customers. Plus, cut the step of dealing with shipping carriers to submit and wait for reimbursements.
- Improve your repeat sales. With easier and more comprehensive shipping insurance coverage, you automatically pass on the convenience and shipment protection to your customers—which helps build trust and loyalty.
