How to add optional insurance at checkout?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Goal: Add an optional £10 courier insurance charge customers can tick, ideally at checkout, for high-value goods.

Proposed approach: Instead of adding it at checkout, offer the insurance as an upsell on the product page. This increases visibility and decision clarity before checkout.

Implementation (via Easify Product Options app):

  • Create a new option set and add a checkbox labeled for courier insurance priced at £10.
  • Assign the option set to the relevant products. The post includes screenshots illustrating setup steps.

New development: A representative from an insurance company expressed interest in enabling insurance sales across Shopify stores and asked the app provider for guidance.

Status: No confirmed implementation at checkout; one recommended solution is a product-page upsell using an app. The thread remains open, with a pending inquiry from an insurance provider and no final decision or resolution noted.

Notes: Images/screenshots are central to understanding the suggested setup steps.

We are looking for help adding an option at checkout.

When a customer purchases a product (we sell high value goods) we would like there to be an additional box for them to tick if they would like to pay £10 more for courier insurance. Can anyone help add this to out checkout?

Hi @UKBiker ,

To enhance your customer’s decision-making process, consider presenting courier insurance as a product page upsell rather than waiting until the checkout phase :hugs: . This makes it easier for customers to evaluate and accept your offer, as it’s more likely to catch their attention at this stage. If you decide to go ahead with this approach, you can effortlessly integrate the courier insurance option using Easify Product Options:

  • Begin by setting up a new option set:

The app is extremely user-friendly, you should give it a try :raising_hands: . If you encounter any challenges during setup, just let me know or reach out to the Easify team via the in-app live chat for assistance.

I work for an Insurance Company and would like to know more about the option to sell insurances to the many owners of Shopify-stores to allow us to sell insurances along with their products as an option.

Can you help? @EasifyApps-Zoe
