In fact, for most themes, the widget will automatically detect the right spot to place itself so installation doesn’t even require you to touch your templates at all!

For some themes, (or if there have been customizations to your theme), installation might require you to edit your template and place a small code snippet to tell the ShipInsure widget exactly where you want it to show up. If you’ve installed the ShipInsure app, but the widget is not showing up, you can follow the instructions for how to place the code snippet in your theme.

The ShipInsure app is running flawlessly in Shopify and Shopify Plus stores using Shopify themes like a, b, c, to paid themes like, a, b, and customized themes. We continue to test on all the major themes as new features and approaches come out from Shopify and other theme developers. The ShipInsure app has also been tested in conjunction with other cart apps related to product recommendations, free shipping, “frequently bought” products, to ensure everything “plays nice” together. We have taken great effort to write our app so that it won’t interfere with other plugins or themes.

If any Issues do arise during the installation process feel free to reach out to Merchant@shipInsure.io you can also take a look at out manual installation set-up page. Here

We can also Install the widget for you,  with one of our seasoned Shopify developers.

 

When you install ShipInsure, it adds itself as a product to your store. When someone clicks on the widget, it adds the “product” (i.e., ShipInsure) to their cart. This is why it shows up as a product in your store—so that when people click on it, ShipInsure will add itself  to their cart.

When you install ShipInsure, the default is set to opt-out. This means that if you have ShipInsure installed on your website and a customer goes to place an order, the widget will automatically be added to the order and they can unclick it if they don’t want it.

If you don’t feel comfortable with this, you can change it in our merchant page. There you can set it to opt-in, which means that for the customer to get our coverage they have to intentionally opt in by clicking the widget. You can change this setting either through your ShipInsure dashboard or through Shopify (click on apps, then click on ShipInsure, then click setting on the right and choose your desired setting).

We’re here to help you get your orders from point A to point B in one piece.

Order insurance is a must-have for any business that ships products, and we know that shipping can be a risky business. That’s why we created ShipInsure, an extra layer of protection for your orders during shipping. From the second it leaves the merchant until it reaches your door, we insure the order from Lost, Damaged, or Stolen.

When you use ShipInsure, you can rest assured that when something happens to your product in transit (even if it was due to weather!), we’ll make sure you get compensated for the cost of repair or replacement.

Yes, ShipInsure is a taxable product.

Since ShipInsure is added to your store as a “product” it is taxed as a product. 

We do cover orders over $1,000, but the merchant must unlock that feature. It unlocks once you reach 100 orders covered by ShipInsure.

We want to make sure that our merchants are getting the most out of the program and the service we provide. That’s why we’ve made it so that if you’re a new merchant who has only completed one or two shipments, we won’t automatically offer you coverage of orders over $1,000—you’ll have to wait until you’ve completed 100 shipments (or more) before we automatically unlock this option for your account. This way, you can feel confident in knowing that your business is being protected by ShipInsure while also getting the most out of our services and coverage options!
