Both Insureful: Shipping Protection and Shipping Protection — Shipcheck are Shopify apps designed to allow merchants to offer shipping protection to their customers, thereby offsetting the costs of lost, damaged, or stolen packages and increasing revenue. Both apps boast perfect 5/5 ratings, indicating high user satisfaction. The core value proposition of both apps is to empower merchants to control their shipping protection programs, retaining the insurance revenue that would otherwise go to a third-party insurance provider. Both explicitly state they are not insurance companies, but rather tools to manage shipping protection offerings. They both support Multi-Language & Multi-Currency functionality for international stores and both show a shipping protection option on the Cart and Checkout pages. Shipcheck also shows the option on the thank you page. Insureful allows merchants to add shipping protection as an added warranty feature.

Shipping Protection — Shipcheck focuses on ease of use and total revenue retention, highlighting the fully customizable widget.
