This article explains Package Protection with Seel, which allows merchants using Checkout+ to compensate shoppers for lost, stolen, or damaged packages through Loop's partnership with Seel. It covers the three qualifying situations (loss after 30-60 days, theft within 7 days of delivery, and damage beyond usability within 7 days), the $5,000 maximum coverage per order, how shoppers can file claims through the Seel Resolution Center or by contacting merchants directly, and viewing orders and claims in the Loop admin.

Use the menu on the left to quickly navigate this article.

Note: Loop offers two different kinds of Package Protection:

• Package Protection with Seel: Merchants allow Seel, a leading package protection company, to manage their package protection and claims resolution process.

• Self-Managed Package Protection: Merchants collect package protection funds from shoppers and use the funds to manage the few claims that are opened.

Check out our Self-Managed Package Protection article for details on the other method.

Merchants using Checkout+ can use Package Protection to compensate shoppers in the case of loss, theft, or damage to their order. If an order with Package Protection isn't delivered to the shopper in one piece, merchants will be paid out in full for the value of the package if the Package Protection claim is approved.

Loop partners with Seel to provide Package Protection for Checkout+ orders. Package Protection applies in the following situations:

Domestic packages not delivered 30 days after order fulfillment (the date when the order is shipped by the merchant) or international packages not delivered 60 days after order fulfillment are considered lost.

Packages marked as delivered but not received by the shopper are considered stolen, though in some cases this may be due to non-criminal delivery issues or confusion. Theft must be reported within seven days of the package being marked as delivered. To qualify as a case of theft, supporting documents, such as a police report, may be required. For details, see What Supporting Docs are Required for a Claim of Theft? in Seel's help center.

Package Protection covers items that have been damaged beyond the point of usability—fractured, shattered, bent (if not bendable), crushed, etc. It does not cover cosmetic damage such as scratches or dents, manufacturing damages, packaging errors, or unsealed items. Damage must be reported within seven days of the package being marked as delivered.

All issues must be reported within 90 days of the order date. The maximum value covered by Package Protection is $5,000 per order.

If a shopper runs into one of these issues with their order, they can initiate a Package Protection claim. Shoppers can open claims by either contacting the merchant directly or using the Seel Resolution Center, which is linked in the Checkout+ confirmation email sent to the shopper. Seel then verifies the claim and pays out the full refund value of the purchased item without needing the merchant to cover the cost.

Note: 90% of claims are automatically approved.

To enable Package Protection, contact your Merchant Success Manager. They'll create a new Checkout+ product that includes Package Protection. For setup instructions, follow the steps in the Checkout+: Setup article.

Merchants can view all orders with Package Protection as well as orders with open claims in the Loop admin by navigating to Order Protection > Package Protection.
