Shipping Insurance Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

Captain Shipping Protection ranks #1 for shipping insurance with 18.7% share — the leader position in a fragmented field where many apps are within striking distance, 7.8pp ahead of Shipping Protection —Shipcheck (10.9%). Navidium Shipping Protection sits at #3 with 8.5% share, rounding out the top tier.
