Documentation Protect Checkout UI Extension

Installing the Parcelify Protect Checkout UI extension

Parcelify provides a checkout UI component that you can place into the standard Shopify checkout. This block summarizes the benefits of protecting an order to your customers and provides links to Protect’s FAQ, Privacy Policy, and terms of service so your customers can learn more about the protection they are purchasing.

The shipping protection modal. At the top is our box logo with a small red shield next to the words Parcelify Protect. Next are three elements that describe the coverage we offer. The first is a box with a repeating icon in front of it next to text that states 'Free returns - Change your mind? No problem. Return it within 30 days on us (up to three times).' The second element is a box with a checkmark in front next to text that states 'Price Match Guarantee - if what you bought goes on sale within 30 days, we'll match it. No FOMO. (Sale must last at least 3 days and be from the same store).' The last element in this series is a box with a lock icon in front of it next to text that states 'Parcel Protection - Lost, stolen, or damaged? You're covered.' Finally, links to our FAQ, Privacy Policy, and Terms and Conditions are listed at the bottom of the modal)

Shopify Plus Customers

Only Plus shops can customize their checkout page with Checkout UI Extensions. Customers on any other plan will be limited to placing the extension on their thank-you page. For customers on a Shopify Plus subscription, we recommend placing our block directly under your shipping rates, so your customers can review all the benefits of choosing a protected rate.
