Book a demoWe have found between 45-73% of consumers in the UK will opt in to delivery protection. Fundamentally, consumers want peace of mind when ordering online. These are some of the reasons why consumers will purchase delivery protection:
1. They live in an area or type of housing (apartment block) where parcel theft is common
2. They do not trust delivery companies. Eg. Their local Evri driver has caused delivery issues in the past
3. They have had bad experiences with online merchants in the past and find it difficult to trust new brands
4. International shoppers are worried about delivery. Since Brexit, international shoppers purchasing from the UK have had delivery issues
Some consumers decide they do not want to purchase delivery protection. These customers shrug their shoulders at ProtectMyOrder, saying it doesn’t impact their perception of the product.
Most consumers liken it to Trainline offering ticket insurance, or event tickets offering ticket protection.

The widget is completely customisable to your website’s look and feel. You can change the icon, the name of the upsell, all colours and any text on the widget, and pop up.
If you aren’t sure what style will work best, you can a/b test different options.
We recommend using a 3rd party logo like ProtectMyOrder logo as it signals more trust than your own logo might. In the same way that Trustpilot (where you can’t hide bad reviews) signals more trust than a merchant’s hand picked selection of 5 star reviews.
If you would like to use our technology but use your own name like "Order Protect", this is entirely possible in settings.
No, ProtectMyOrder is not insurance. ProtectMyOrder is a premium customer service solution that you offer to your customers.
Customers that don’t purchase ProtectMyOrder are still able to claim. However, the claims process might take longer and be less generous than if they had purchased ProtectMyOrder.
You can find the exact service levels that we ask you adhere to when selling ProtectMyOrder on Our Promise page
In the same way that airlines don’t have insurance licenses for selling priority boarding, you don’t need an insurance license to sell a premium resolution service
Across hundreds of thousands of orders per month, we have not seen fraud increase.
It seems that the honest consumers remain honest, and the fraudsters continue well ... being fraudsters. Karma will catch ‘em one day.

There are two ways of setting prices:
Manual pricing: Go into settings of our app and amend the price rules to whatever you’d like.
Intelligent pricing: We have an intelligent pricing algorithm that split tests different prices and designs automatically. Our tests balance revenue, opt-in rates and conversion rate to make sure there is no money being left on the table, and that you aren’t charging so much that you are putting them off purchasing.
As we take 19.99% of the protection revenue, we only have to be 19.99% better than you and you will make more money letting us take care of everything.
For example, if you build this yourself and set the price too low, you are leaving money on the table. If you set the price too high, then you may be causing checkout conversion to suffer.
Our intelligent pricing tool automatically finds the best design and price for your shipping protection policy. We can test hundreds of different prices and designs to find the optimal set up.
We are a team of 4 people who spend 10,000 hours a year optimising shipping protection offerings. We have 70+ brands using our technology with hundreds of thousands of orders processed per month. We're pretty good at this!
There's also no upfront cost or headache of instructing your developers to build your own version.
You'll make more money, it'll take you 10 minutes, and there's zero hassle.
The type of product has surprisingly little correlation with opt-in rates
Our customers sell a wide variety of products: dog collars, dresses, supplements, furniture and handlebars!
Across all of these verticals, there is not one that stands out for having exceptionally high or low opt-in rates.
People buy ProtectMyOrder because they, as a consumer, are concerned about shipping and the quality of the customer service if something goes wrong. UPS can lose any package, regardless of the type of product inside. It's less about the type of product they sell, and more about their previous experiences shopping online.
They may also not know what the merchant's customer service levels are. Seeing ProtectMyOrder, they know they are going to be dealt with well if anything happens.
Yes, we can. Pro Protect is designed for exactly this scenario. Here’s a step-by-step on how it works:
Pro Protect is free to use and you may be eligible to receive a share of the protection income we collect depending on the profile of your business.

All those in favour of Pro Protect
Companies that find the most value in Pro Protect are ones that struggle with delivery customer service, either all year round or during peak periods.
Pro Protect is a streamlined way of outsourcing repetitive customer service queries to us whilst eliminating the cost of lost, stolen and damaged packages.
When a customer has a delivery problem, they submit them via our resolution portal (branded to your store) and our customer service agents deal with the issues, approving or denying claims based on the evidence.
All those in favour of Self Protect:
Self Protect is best suited to merchants who can easily handle their customer service queries and want to retain control of the customer interactions.
The merchant keeps all of the delivery protection revenue which usually increases annual net profit by 10-20%. The merchant is responsible for running their own a/b tests on both the aesthetic of the widget and the cost of the protection.
If there is an issue with a delivery, the merchant promises to deliver a premium level of support for customers. The exact level level of service is laid out in full on our promise page.
