See every featureParcelis lets merchants offer shipping protection for lost, damaged, or stolen orders directly at checkout. Policies are created automatically based on your settings, with no manual work required. Claims are handled by Parcelis, not the merchant, helping reduce refunds, chargebacks, and customer support time.
Buyers opt in with one tap; you earn on every protected order. When parcels are lost or damaged, Orders shows buyer name, email, phone, and address for claims.
