Is there a way to add additional UPS insurance for an UPS shipment when using the Shopify admin for creating shipping labels? I know about Shipsurance (heard noting but negatives so not interested in using). Would like to add additional UPS coverage over and above the $100 amount.

Thanks!

Hi @eBeeLuv ,

Based on the information available, Shopify currently does not offer an option to add additional insurance. If you want to add insurance to your UPS shipments, you will need to have your own UPS account and utilize an app like the PH MultiCarrier Shipping Label app.
