tip
Setup Billing First
To setup 3rd-party shipping insurance, you must add billing information to your account.
Go to Billing
Enable Shipsurance
Shipsurance is included by default, you just need to enable it! Here are the steps to do so!
- Log into the ShipEngine Portal.
- Select Carrier Management.
- Select the Insurance tab.
- Toggle 3rd Party Insurance to on and follow the on-screen instructions.
Adding Insurance Funds
You may need to auto fund your account from time to time. For example, if you don't normally ship items over $100, and may want to add funds to insurance rather than keeping the account funded.
Warning
This request costs money!
There is no test mode for adding funds to insurance, you will be charged.

Tip
Auto Funding
We recommend that you auto fund your insurance account. By auto funding, you won't receive insufficient balance alerts. You can auto fund for as little as $10 when it falls below the minimum.

Adding Insurance to a Shipment
When creating a label, you can choose to purchase insurance for the package by setting the insurance_provider field. It can be set to any of the following values:
| Insurance Provider | Description |
|---|---|
none (default) |
The package will not be insured |
shipsurance |
Purchase insurance from Shipsurance. You need to setup your billing info first. |
carrier |
Purchase insurance from the carrier. |
third_party |
The package is insured by a third-party insurance service, outside of ShipEngine. |
POST /v1/labels
In addition to the insurance_provider field, you will also need to set the insured_value of each package in the shipment. For example:
{
"insurance_provider": "shipsurance",
"packages": [
{
"insured_value": {
"currency": "usd",
"amount": 200.0
}
}]
}
