The message every store dreads.

“Where's my package?”

It costs a refund, a reshipment and a one-star review. Protecht turns it into a covered event with a Protection ID the customer can look up any time, and a claim that never lands in your inbox.

Nothing to build

We install and configure the plugin on your WooCommerce store. Protection shows as a clear line item and we host the secure checkout page.

Customers stay happy

A lost or damaged order becomes a replacement authorized by Protecht. The customer feels looked after and your reviews stay intact.

Your inbox goes quiet

Claims are filed on protecht.dev with the Protection ID and tracking number. Our team reviews every one within 24 hours.

How it works

Four steps from checkout to a resolved claim. You only touch step two.

  1. 01

    Customer adds protection

    At checkout, Protecht Protection shows as a line item with a small fee. One click and the whole order is covered.

  2. 02

    You ship as usual

    Fulfil and ship through your normal carrier. Protecht emails the customer a Protection ID the moment the card settles.

  3. 03

    Something goes wrong

    Lost, never delivered, or arrived damaged? The customer files a claim with Protecht using their Protection ID and tracking number.

  4. 04

    Replacement authorized

    Approved claims trigger a replacement authorization. We handle the customer; you ship the replacement and get reimbursed.

For vendors

Protecht handles the setup, the checkout and the claims. You ship the orders and read the statements.

What's covered

Protecht covers the three ways a shipment goes wrong between your dock and the customer's door. Nothing hidden, nothing clever.

Covered

  • Package lost or stolen in transit: carrier confirms lost, or tracking stuck 10 or more days
  • Package never delivered: no delivery confirmation 30 or more days after the order
  • Package damaged in transit: arrived visibly damaged through carrier mishandling (photo required)

Resolution is a replacement order authorization at no extra cost to the customer. Claim window: 30 days from issue.

Not covered

  • Product defects, wrong item, or buyer's remorse. Those stay with the vendor's own policy
  • Delivered-then-stolen porch theft without a police report
  • Orders where protection wasn't purchased at checkout
  • Digital goods and anything that doesn't physically ship

The protection fee is non-refundable once coverage is issued. Full terms in the Protection terms.

The customer pays a small fee. You pay nothing.

The customer pays on Protecht's secure checkout. Protecht keeps the protection fee and settles the order amount to you, less the platform fee.
