The problem with shipping today

Every shipping exception is a cost center. It doesn't have to be.

Lost packages, WISMO tickets, and damaged shipments create real cost — in refunds, support hours, and customer churn. Fenix Shipping Protection restructures the equation: customers gain the option to protect their purchase, Fenix handles operations and support, and your brand delivers a better experience with improved order-level economics.

Customer-funded protection program

Shoppers opt into coverage at checkout. Fenix handles claims, support, and resolution — creating a self-funding experience program that operates outside your support cost structure.

Human support, fully managed

Fenix live agents handle all post-purchase inquiries under your brand. Your team is never looped in — and the customer experience is indistinguishable from in-house support.

Claims become retention moments

Instead of a refund and a closed ticket, Fenix resolves claims with store credit — turning a negative experience into the foundation of a repeat purchase.

How it works

Three things happen every time a customer checks out.

Fenix Shipping Protection runs quietly in the background from label creation to delivery — no manual work, no ticket queues, no escalation paths for your team.

Step 1 · Checkout

A Fenix widget appears natively inside your Shopify checkout. Customers toggle on protection for a small fee — typically $0.50–$2.00, priced by order value and route risk. Most brands see 40–60% opt-in rates within 30 days.

Step 2 · In transit

47 risk signals track delays, exceptions, and weather events in real time. For protected orders, Fenix proactively alerts customers before they even notice a problem — cutting inbound contacts by up to 55%.

Step 3 · Resolution

When something goes wrong, Fenix human agents handle it end-to-end — reship, refund, or store credit — under your brand's voice and policies. Your team is never looped in. The customer never knows it wasn't you.

No other shipping protection provider — Route, Seel, AfterShip, or Narvar — offers live human support, white-labeled to your brand, with full resolution authority. That is the Fenix difference.

The economics · built for SMB and mid-market brands

Transform a cost center into a self-funding customer experience program.

Fenix aligns incentives by allowing brands to participate in the value created through shipping protection — while Fenix manages claims, support, and resolution operations. Every protected order helps offset shipping exception costs, reduce support burden, and improve the customer experience simultaneously.

Orders Features

Incremental contribution margin

Protected orders create incremental contribution margin while simultaneously reducing support burden and shipping exception costs — improving order-level economics without adding operational overhead.

Reduction in support tickets Proactive alerts and live agents resolve issues before customers open tickets. Most brands see a 40–55% drop in WISMO contacts within 60 days — measurably improving CX metrics while reducing cost.

Upfront cost to get started No setup fees. No minimum order volume. No engineering hours. Install the Shopify app, configure your brand policies, and go live — the program is self-funding from the first protected order.

Target protection attach rate Because Fenix prices protection dynamically — not as a flat 1–3% surcharge — shoppers perceive it as fair. Most brands reach 40–60% attachment by the end of their second month.

Feature depth

Everything a protected order needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Built-in loyalty engine

Turn your worst post-purchase moment into your best retention tool.

What brands say after going live.

"We were losing customers at the post-purchase stage — not because of bad products, but because of bad shipping experiences. Fenix changed that. The live support alone cut our inbound tickets by over a third, and for the first time we actually understand our claims data. We were live before our next sprint even kicked off — and we saw the economics work almost immediately."
