Price Ascending - Protect First
Sorted by price, lowest to highest, Protect rates show first.

Select which rates are eligible for Parcelify Protect

By default, Parcelify protect will offer protection for all of your Parcelify rates. If you wish to limit what rates are eligible for shipping protection, you may do so with Protect Settings:



First, decide whether you want to include Protect on all of your Parcelify rates except those listed, or if you want to select specific rates to be protected:

  • All rates except - protection will be offered on all of your Parcelify rates except the ones you choose
  • Selected rates only - protection will only be offered on the rates you choose

After that, you may search for and select shipping rates in the text field that says ‘Search rates’

Once you are happy with your rate selections, click Save in the bottom right

Now that Parcelify Protect is enabled on your shop and you’ve decided what rates are protected, add our UI Extension to your checkout to notify customers what benefits are on offer when selecting a Protected rate. Click Protect UI Extension below to learn more:
