Some carriers allow you to set an insurance option on consignments.
NOTE: The cover provided will vary with each carrier so check your agreement.
Update Carrier Settings
To update your Carrier default transit cover/insurance settings go to Settings ⇒ Carriers in ReadyToShip and click on the carrier.
If they offer insurance there will be options like this:
Update Cover for a Single Order
Some carriers will allow you to override these defaults on a particular order. If this option is available a check box will appear in the Order Options: area when you click on an order and view the details.
Update Cover for Orders over a certain value
You can also set up insurance to be used only on orders over a certain value, an example of insuring orders over $100 can be seen below.
