What is Route?
Route is a free plug-and-play shipping insurance app for Shopify merchants.
We make it easy for your customers to purchase shipping insurance on their order for a fraction of the cost of the cart value.
As a business, you no longer have to worry about refunding orders which aren’t delivered for customers who choose to insure their order through Route.
Simply click “Add App” to sign up for the service. No coding is needed and setting up Route takes minutes.
How does it work?
After signing up with Route, you can either choose to have us install the code for you for free or someone on your team with very limited development experience can do this easily.
As part of the checkout process, customers can select Route to secure their order in one-click.
Customers receive a confirmation email from Route that they are protected and gives them a link to file claims.
If for whatever reason the order does not reach the customer, your product gets damaged before arriving at the customer or gets stolen from their porch, the customer can claim a refund from Route.
How do I get started?
To get started, click the button labeled “Add App”. If you’re logged into Shopify you’ll be asked to authorize the connection between your store and Route. This allows us to install our widget on your cart page.
