Magento 2 Shipping Insurance: protection for valuable parcels
The Magento 2 Shipping Insurance module from Mironsoft offers customers insured delivery as an extra in the checkout. The fee follows the order value and appears as a separate, properly taxed line item. You decide for which shipping methods, countries and customer groups the option applies and whether it becomes mandatory above a certain order value. Magento 2 Shipping Insurance runs on Alpine.js in the Hyvä theme and needs no additional library.
Checkout option
One choice next to the shipping method: the customer decides whether the parcel travels insured.
Order value tiers
The fee rises with the order value, as a tier table or as a percentage with limits.
Methods and countries
The option appears only where your insurer or carrier covers it.
Mandatory above a value
Above a configurable order value the insurance is added automatically.
Separate line item
Fee with tax class in order, invoice and order confirmation.
Credit memo logic
On a refund you decide whether the fee goes back proportionally.
Why Magento 2 Shipping Insurance relieves customers and merchants
Expensive goods do not like travelling unprotected. Customers ask for insured delivery before they order a watch, a laptop or a tool, while merchants carry the effort and cost when something goes wrong. Anyone searching for Magento 2 insured shipping or Magento 2 parcel insurance wants to model this decision cleanly in the checkout instead of settling it by email.
Magento 2 Shipping Insurance turns it into a choice with a clear price. The customer sees the fee before ordering, you see in the order who is covered, and your shipping team knows without asking which parcels have to be sent insured.
Magento 2 Shipping Insurance in the checkout: one clear choice
In the shipping method step a choice with text and price appears below the options. The customer sees what the insurance costs before paying. The line updates without a reload whenever the cart or the shipping method changes. The choice is not preselected by default; how it is preset, you decide yourself.
- Price of the insurance visible immediately
- Update when cart or shipping method changes
- Choice not preselected by default
Fee by order value: tiers, percentage and limits
You store a tier table, for instance up to €100, up to €500 and above, each with a fixed amount. Alternatively you calculate a percentage of the order value and set a minimum and a maximum. The order value before or after discounts applies, as you configure it. The tax class determines the tax rate of the fee.
- Tier table or percentage with minimum and maximum
- Order value before or after discount selectable
- Tax class for the fee configurable
Which shipping methods, countries and customer groups the insurance covers
Not every carrier and not every destination can be insured. That is why you assign the option to individual shipping methods, countries and customer groups. Pickup and digital products are excluded. Above an order value of your choice the insurance can be mandatory; the checkout then shows it as a fixed line with an explanatory text instead of a choice.
- Assignment to shipping methods, countries and customer groups
- Exception for pickup and downloads
- Mandatory insurance above an order value
Order, invoice and credit memo with an insurance line
The fee appears as a separate line in the order, invoice, order confirmation and admin. The shipping team sees a flag on the order and can handle the parcel accordingly. For a credit memo you decide whether the fee is refunded fully, proportionally or not at all. An overview lists insured orders with value and fee.
- Separate line with tax in all documents
- Flag on the order for the shipping team
- Credit memo refund: full, proportional or none

Scope compared with shipping methods, shipping rules and delivery time display
Magento shipping methods and shipping rules calculate the price of delivery itself. Magento 2 Shipping Insurance changes nothing there; it adds a selectable extra with its own price. Showing delivery times or a countdown until dispatch are separate topics as well.
Which notices you must give about insurance, how it may be preselected and how the item is treated for tax should be clarified with your legal and tax advisors. All modules can be combined.
