WooCommerce Checkout Shipping Insurance
How to offer shipping insurance at WooCommerce checkout and keep every protected order claim-ready.
WooCommerce Shipping Insurance
What customers see at WooCommerce checkout
With InsureShip, shipping insurance is added to the customer's order at checkout. Coverage becomes part of the purchase instead of something arranged after a package goes missing, and the customer sees what they are paying for before they place the order.
How to set up checkout shipping insurance
1. Start by contacting InsureShip
Setup begins when you contact InsureShip. We review your WooCommerce store, products and shipping so the program fits how you sell.
2. Insurance is added to checkout
Once you are set up, shipping insurance is added to checkout so customers can protect their order as they buy.
3. Pricing per order
Pricing averages about $1 per order, but it isn't a fixed fee. The amount can be higher or lower than $1, and InsureShip will confirm pricing for your store during setup.
4. Claims are filed online
When a protected order is lost, stolen or damaged, the claim is filed online through InsureShip's online claim form.
