Insurance at Checkout is a new Shopify plugin that boosts your conversions by inspiring confidence in buyers
Easyship’s data shows that 70% of buyers opt for insurance when available
Buyers can purchase full coverage on any shipment up to $10,000, plus since our coverage prices start at just 98¢, insurance is available for buyers on any budget
When the internet debuted in the ’90s, a few rules were circulated on how to safely use this exciting new tool. The “3 Rules of the Internet” were:
Don’t meet anyone on the internet
Don’t believe what you read on the internet
Don’t share personal information on the internet
Obviously, our online behavior has relaxed in recent years. But that third rule about sharing your information stuck. Especially in eCommerce.
Insurance at Checkout is a new Shopify plugin that boosts your conversions by inspiring confidence in buyers. Once active, this feature gives buyers the option to add third-party insurance to their order at checkout. This peace of mind paves the way for a purchase.
Drive Conversions with Buyer Confidence
Your customers love your product. But every day you lose sales at checkout from once-eager shoppers. Why?
According to Shopify research, a leading cause of cart abandonment is buyers’ lack of trust in online merchants. Once shoppers reach checkout, they begin to ask themselves:
Who are you, an unknown seller?
Will my package arrive on time?
Will it arrive in good condition?
Trust is the gateway to sales in eCommerce. If your cart experience doesn’t defuse these doubts, a high number of buyers would rather bounce than fret about the potential risk. After all, an estimated 5-15% of shipments go missing in cities. What’s more, some buyers just don't believe you’ll deliver that little black dress in time for Friday.
Our new Shopify cart plugin, Insurance at Checkout, boosts your conversions by creating confidence in customers. The option to add third-party shipping insurance at checkout reassures buyers with the knowledge that they're fully covered from theft, loss, or damage in transit.
As seen below, adding insurance only takes a click.
The offer for insurance alone elevates the perceived security of your Shopify store. It’s like using trust badges, SSL certificates, and testimonials. These features all enhance your trustworthiness as a merchant, and help you make sales.
Easyship’s data shows that 70% of buyers opt for insurance when available. Since Insurance at Checkout is free, why leave customers any reason to worry? It’s just leaving money on the table.
Insurance at Checkout was built with Shopify in mind, meaning it fits beautifully on your cart page.
With a single click, buyers can add shipping insurance for just pennies on the dollar. All insurance costs are automatically calculated per the order amount. With full cost visibility, buyers can rest easy with transparency around all costs.
Shoppers can choose to either accept or decline coverage. Again, even buyers who balk a couple of extra dollars for insurance will glean confidence from knowing you're the sort of merchant to offer coverage in the first place.
More Coverage in More Markets
Insurance at Checkout offers best-in-class package protection. Buyers can purchase full coverage on any shipment up to $10,000. And since our coverage prices start at just 98¢, insurance is available for buyers on any budget.
Easyship covers both domestic and international shipments with rare exceptions. Unlike other third-party shipping insurance options, our provider, InsureShip, pays more claims at better prices than any other service on the market. And since InsureShip pays claims in just 5-7 days, you get the speediest claims resolution possible.
All Claims Processed For You
When shipment issues arise, for shipments that buyers have insured, you don't have to lift a finger. The buyer just needs to fill the simple (and fast!) claim form and InsureShip handles everything around the claims process, from customer support to final payout. We get your buyers paid so you don't have to.
Insured shipments receive a link to the claims portal with the tracking information automatically. To file a claim, the buyer simply follows the insurance link provided in their automated post-purchase email.
Easyship receives the filed claim and forwards it to our insurance partner, InsureShip. In just 5-7 days, your buyer will have their reimbursement. This speedy, fully-supported insurance claims process helps you retain goodwill and loyalty from buyers, despite any unforeseen mishaps.
