Shopify Merchants: Stop Handing Your Shipping Protection Profits to OrderProtection.com.
OrderProtection.com charges your customers for package protection, pockets the majority of the money as corporate underwriting profit, and controls your customer claims process. Supercart enables self-funded shipping protection inside a sub-10ms cart drawer—keeping 100% of the margin in your store.
The Guarantee: Retain 100% of protection revenue and fulfill claims in 1-click at wholesale cost—even if you ship thousands of orders across multiple carrier networks daily.
The Third-Party Broker Mirage: Paying a Middleman to Insure What You Already Own
OrderProtection.com pitches a 'free' installation, but in reality, they turn your cart into their revenue engine. When a customer pays $1.95 to $4.95 for package protection, OrderProtection.com takes the money. If a parcel is stolen or damaged, their claims department handles it on their terms, creating customer friction, delay, and negative reviews. You own the inventory—why let an external broker keep 85%+ of the fees?
Surrendering Your Most Lucrative Line Item
Package protection is the highest-margin order item in e-commerce. OrderProtection.com pockets this entire spread while paying out pennies in claims.
Slow, Disconnected External Claims Portals
Shoppers must navigate third-party claims workflows and wait days for approval, driving customer frustration and payment disputes.
Standalone Widget Requiring a Second Cart App
OrderProtection.com is only a protection widget; it doesn't give you a slide cart drawer, free shipping bars, or in-cart product recommendations.
Direct Capital Retention
Direct-to-consumer merchants replace lost or damaged merchandise at wholesale factory cost (COGS), not retail price. When 60%+ of shoppers purchase shipping protection for peace of mind, you create a massive private capital reserve. Even after paying 100% of legitimate claims at wholesale cost, over 90% of collected fees remain pure gross profit.
