sarinl Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I was wondering if there is a way to add order insurance as a feature at checkout. Many of the third-party sites I visited mentioned Shopify or other platforms but not squarespace so I was wondering if maybe there is a plug-in or something? Link to comment

You cannot add a feature like this to the checkout stage on Squarespace as this page cannot be customised or altered. This limitation is due to the platform's design and structure, which aims to maintain a consistent and secure checkout experience for all users. Squarespace prioritise security, reliability, and ease of use, and this restricts the customisation that is possible in critical areas like the checkout. If you need to add insurance to the checkout, Squarespace does not provide the flexibility you require and you'll need to explore other e-commerce platforms that allow a higher degree of customisation, but are consequently more complex to configure. It may be possible to use code to do something at the cart stage, but only if the insurance is a fixed sum. If you need to add a percentage, this isn't possible, for the reasons mentioned above. If you can provide more details about your requirements and your site, there may be workarounds to add a fixed insurance sum prior to the checkout.

sarinl Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 we were looking into third-party sites like order protection.com and route.com . Attached is a screenshot example of a company currently using this service at checkout. Link to comment

The screenshot you've provided is not a Squarespace site. As I've explained above, it is not possible to add insurance to the Squarespace checkout.
