Parcelis Shipping Protection
·
Offer shipping insurance to your customers at checkout. Protect orders and increase revenue with Parcelis.
Parcelis Shipping Protection allows store owners to offer shipping insurance directly in their WooCommerce store. Customers can opt in to protect their orders against loss, damage, or theft during shipping.
How it works:
- You set the retail price customers pay for insurance (suggested: $4.95 per $200 covered)
- Your wholesale cost is $2.50 per $200 covered — that’s what you pay to Parcelis
- You keep the difference as profit
- Coverage is capped at $2,500 per order
- Policies are issued automatically when an order is placed
Features:
- Seamless integration with WooCommerce checkout
- Customizable retail pricing
- Automatic policy issuance on order payment
- Order notes with policy confirmation
- Admin dashboard to view issued policies
- Compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)
External Services
This plugin connects to the Parcelis API to provide shipping insurance functionality. The following data transmissions occur:
Parcelis API (https://app-parcelis-api-prod-001.azurewebsites.net)
- Shop registration: When the plugin is activated, store details (domain, name, admin email, WooCommerce version) are sent to register the store with Parcelis.
- Settings sync: When plugin settings are saved, configuration data is synced to Parcelis so coverage parameters stay current.
- Order submission: When an order containing shipping insurance reaches “Processing” or “Completed” status, order details (customer info, shipping address, line items, insurance amount) are sent to Parcelis to trigger policy issuance.
No data is transmitted to third parties beyond the Parcelis API service described above.
