Ecommerce liability insurance helps online sellers safeguard their business and pay for claims caused by the products they sell and their day-to-day operations. It protects those who wholesale, resell, or private label products on e-commerce websites such as eBay, Etsy, and Amazon.
Our occurrence-based policies include product liability insurance, general liability insurance, personal and advertising injury, damage to rented premises coverage, and a medical expense limit — plus the option to add additional coverages like errors and omissions, product recall insurance, and excess liability limits.
Yes! If a product sold online causes bodily injuries or property damage, the seller, importer, distributor, and manufacturer could all be named in a claim.
Accidents commonly happen due to manufacturing defects, mislabeling, or failure to provide warnings. Without the right insurance, you could be footing the bill for a lawsuit or a product recall.
Many online marketplaces now require sellers to carry their own online retail business insurance. Some sites even exclude themselves from being held responsible for liability claims leaving you to pay for costly claims on your own.
Insurance Canopy closes the coverage gap left by others, so you can confidently meet insurance requirements, pay for claims, and operate your online business with the protection you deserve.
Currently, over 50% of Insurance Canopy customers pay $1,400 or less in annual premiums. But each ecommerce product insurance policy is tailored specifically to your product and business — meaning no two policies are the same, so you only pay for the coverages you need.
The cost of your ecommerce liability insurance is based on:
