What Is Package Protection for BigCommerce?

Shipping protection gives shoppers the option to add a small fee at checkout to insure their order against loss, theft, or damage. You can charge a flat rate or percentage-based fee, and customers can toggle the option on or off.

At IntuitSolutions, we implement this functionality using the Shipping Protection Module from Ebizio Checkout, a powerful tool that works directly within the native BigCommerce checkout.

Key features include:

  • Custom Fee Settings: Choose a flat or percentage-based fee structure
  • Toggle On/Off: Let shoppers opt in or out, with clear messaging and a line-item breakdown
  • Product and Category Control: Apply protection fees for all items or only where needed
