Advertising revenue
How merchants are paid: advertising revenue from InsureShip.
InsureShip pays participating merchants advertising revenue for promoting InsureShip insurance at checkout.
Merchants are not licensed insurance producers, so this is advertising revenue, not a share of premium. InsureShip does not split premium, revenue or commission with merchants.
Estimate your advertising revenue
InsureShip pays participating merchants advertising revenue for every protected order they promote at checkout. Move the sliders to estimate yours.
Illustrative estimate only, not a guarantee of earnings. The $3.95 default is InsureShip's average advertising rate per protected order; actual rates vary by client and are confirmed during onboarding. InsureShip pays advertising revenue for promoting InsureShip insurance; it does not share insurance premium with merchants. Ask InsureShip for your rate.

| Package theft | Varies by provider. Coverage terms may be unclear. | Eligible theft claims may be supported under applicable terms. |
| Lost and damaged packages | Varies. Claims may depend on the provider’s discretion or budget. | Eligible claims are reviewed through a defined claims process. |
| Merchant risk exposure | Merchants may carry more exposure if the program cannot pay claims. | Designed to reduce the merchant’s exposure to eligible delivery losses. |
| Advertising revenue | Varies by provider and program. | Ask InsureShip for your advertising rate. |

Answers merchants need before adding protection
Direct answers about coverage, advertising revenue, claims, licensing and setup.
What is InsureShip?
InsureShip is a shipping insurance solution for ecommerce merchants. It lets customers optionally protect eligible orders against loss, theft, damage and non-delivery, and gives merchants a defined claims process. InsureShip pays participating merchants advertising revenue for promoting InsureShip insurance at checkout.
What does shipping insurance cover?
Eligible coverage may include lost, stolen, damaged and non-delivered packages, including porch-pirate theft and other carrier-related delivery problems. Exact coverage, exclusions, limits and documentation requirements depend on the applicable policy and program terms.
Does InsureShip work with Shopify?
Yes. InsureShip is designed to work with Shopify checkout, subject to your store configuration and implementation. See Shopify shipping insurance. It also supports WooCommerce and Checkout Champ.
What is porch pirate insurance?
Porch pirate insurance refers to coverage for packages stolen after a carrier marks them delivered. Eligible theft may be covered when it falls within the applicable policy terms and the required claim documentation is provided. See the porch pirate insurance guide.
Why should an ecommerce store offer shipping insurance?
Delivery problems are costly. Each lost, stolen or damaged order can mean a refund or replacement, support time and a frustrated customer. An optional protection offer gives buyers more confidence at checkout and gives eligible problems a defined claims path.
Can merchants earn advertising revenue by offering InsureShip?
Yes, through advertising revenue. InsureShip pays participating merchants advertising revenue for promoting InsureShip insurance at checkout. Merchants are not licensed insurance producers, so this is not a share of premium. Ask InsureShip for your advertising rate.
Is InsureShip licensed?
InsureShip presents its shipping insurance as an insurance-backed program. Licensing, insurer and policy details are set out in the program documents, which you can request during onboarding. As with any protection provider, review them with qualified legal or insurance professionals. See Is your shipping protection legal?.
How does InsureShip help reduce customer support tickets?
Instead of handling each lost or damaged package through improvised email threads, protected orders follow a defined claims process. That can reduce back-and-forth for eligible problems, although no specific reduction is guaranteed.
Is shipping insurance different from carrier declared value?
Yes, they can differ. Carrier declared value and carrier liability are governed by the carrier's own terms, limits and claims rules, and are usually invisible to the customer at checkout. A third-party program such as InsureShip is offered to the customer under its own policy terms and claims process.
Who should use InsureShip?
InsureShip is designed for merchants shipping physical products, including Shopify stores, DTC brands, subscription merchants, direct-response offers, high-value product sellers and brands shipping across the United States.
Does InsureShip cover international shipments?
International availability depends on the merchant, origin, destination, carrier, product and applicable program terms. Confirm your shipping lanes during onboarding.
