How to add shipping insurance to the shipping price in WooCommerce<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll show you how to do it in one example. You have a shop which ships products to customers, and you\u2019d like to ensure every package is worth more than $100. It\u2019s an additional cost for you, so you want to add the extra cost of shipping for customers. Let\u2019s assume that insurance packages cost $5.<\/p>\n

Go to WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Shipping<\/strong>, choose the shipping zone you want to edit or add a new shipping method. Remember, it has to be a Flexible Shipping kind of method.<\/p>\n

\"Edit<\/a><\/p>\n

Now you can add a rule based on Price<\/strong> and set: When:<\/strong> Price, is from:<\/strong> 100, rule cost is:<\/strong> 5.<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/a><\/p>\n

Click Save Changes<\/strong>. Now, when the customer’s order exceeds $100 insurance cost will be automatically added to the shipping price.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

What is \u201cshipping insurance\u201d in WooCommerce?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • It\u2019s an extra fee added to shipping (often for higher-value orders) to cover the cost of insuring the shipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Can I automatically add insurance only when the order is expensive (e.g., over $100)?<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Yes. The article shows an example where insurance is added only when the cart value exceeds a set threshold (e.g., $100).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Can customers choose \u201cShipping\u201d vs \u201cShipping + Insurance\u201d?<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Yes\u2014one approach is to create two shipping methods with different prices and names (e.g., Shipping and Shipping + Insurance) so customers can pick the option they want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
