It’s 2025, and shipping protection has transformed from a “nice-to-have” into a must-have for growing Shopify brands. With Shopify’s checkout requirements and savvier shoppers, how you implement shipping protection can make or break your customer experience.

In this article, we break down what works, what’s required, and what’s new, including how our Checkout Plus is Shopify optimized while turning protection into profit.

Why eCommerce Package Protection Matters in 2025

For Shopify brands shipping thousands of orders monthly, shipping protection isn’t just about replacing damaged items. It’s about creating trust while keeping your team sane.

With the right approach, shipping protection will:

• Cut support tickets by up to 40%
• Boost customer satisfaction (our brands see 97% CSAT)
• Generate additional revenue that pays for itself

What’s Required in 2025

Explicit Customer Consent

The days of sneaky pre-checked boxes are over. Your customers need to actively choose shipping protection and understand what they are opting in for.

Best practices we’ve seen work:

• Clean, clear checkbox that actually requires clicking
• Transparent pricing (no surprises!)
• Simple explanation of what’s covered
• Zero post-purchase surprises

Crystal-Clear Disclosure

Your customers deserve, and want, to know exactly what they’re paying for. Your shipping protection must:

• Spell out exactly what’s covered (and what’s not)
• Tell them who’s backing the coverage (for example Corso)
• Skip the marketing fluff that oversells what you deliver. Keep it clear and concise.

Introducing Checkout Plus

Corso’s Checkout Plus is specifically built for brands who want to optimize their Shopify checkout while turning shipping protection into a profit center.

With Checkout Plus, you’ll get:

• Seamless integration through Shopify Plus
• A simple opt-in that boosts conversion
• Real humans handling claims (our 97% CSAT speaks for itself)

What’s No Longer Accepted

To keep your store Shopify optimized, avoid:

• Pre-checking protection add-ons by default
• Burying protection details in fine print
• Using outdated checkout hacks or third-party scripts outside Shopify’s framework
• Charging protection fees without real-time consent capture

Final Thoughts: Protecting Packages and Your Brand

Shipping protection in 2025 isn’t just about replacing lost packages. It’s about building trust while adding to your bottom line. The brands that win this year will be the ones who view shipping protection as both a revenue driver and a loyalty builder.

Whether you’re shipping 1,500 or 150,000 orders monthly, now’s the time to review your approach. Is it Shopify-optimized? Is it driving revenue? Is it protecting your customers?
