Note: The Protect Checkout Extension requires a Shopify Plus subscription. Only Plus shops can customize their Shopify checkout page. Shops on other plans can offer Protect as a shipping rate or a cart add-on instead. See Protect Settings for the available offer methods.

Protect Checkout Extension

The Protect Checkout Extension places order protection inside your Shopify checkout. Depending on your settings, this is either an optional toggle or an automatic surcharge.

The Protect Checkout Extension catalog entry. It shows a preview of the checkout order summary with a purple Order protection toggle, and a section below titled Protect Checkout Extension marked Available with a Customize button

How it works

This extension can work two different ways depending on your settings:

  • When used as a toggle, customers can add or remove protection themselves
  • When used as a surcharge, protection is automatically added to the order

When used as a toggle, the extension remembers each customer’s preference. If a customer turns protection on or off, checkout saves their choice for future visits. Returning customers see the toggle set to their last selection automatically.

Installing the extension

This component is required for the checkout add-on and surcharge offer methods. Confirm one of these methods is selected on the Protect settings page before you add the extension. If your shop offers Protect as a shipping rate or a cart add-on instead, see Cart Protection Toggle or Protect Checkout Button.
