The Protection Plans module allows merchants to define how insurance fees are calculated for customer orders. You can choose between Fixed and Percentage-based protection plans to suit your pricing strategy.
Upon opening the Protection Plans section, you’ll be prompted to choose between two pricing models:
Fixed: Use this if you want to charge a set insurance fee based on cart value ranges.
Percent: Use this if you want to charge a percentage base rule.
You can switch between plan types at any time using the Choose protection type button.
The Fixed option lets you define flat-rate fees for specific cart value ranges. This is ideal for stores that want predictable pricing for shipping protection.
Fixed Plan Table Overview:
Protection plan name
The cart value range this plan covers.
Protection amount
Flat fee charged to the customer.
Cart min price / max price
Range of cart values this plan applies to.
Created date
Date when the plan was created.
Actions
Edit or delete individual plans.
Click Create Insurance Plan.
Enter details like the cart value range and protection amount.
Save the plan. It will appear in the table.
The Percent model dynamically calculates the insurance fee based on a percentage of the order total, giving more flexibility for variable cart values.
Fields to Configure:
Default fee
A base amount that will be charged initially.
Percentage fee
The percentage applied to the cart total.
How It Works: Protection fees increase in steps of $0.50, starting from the Default Fee, up to a maximum of:
Default Fee + (98 * Percentage Fee * 0.50)
Click Edit next to any plan to update details.
Click Delete to remove a plan.
You can maintain multiple fixed plans with varying price ranges, but only one percentage-based rule can be active at a time.
