How to Use Swipe Package Protection to Protect Your Shopify Customers From Package Theft

Every day, countless Shopify merchants send out packages to their customers. It’s a routine part of the e-commerce business. But what happens when those packages never reach their customers? Package theft is a growing issue, and it’s time we put an end to it. Here’s how Swipe Package Protection can help.

Understanding the Issue: Package Theft

Before we start discussing how to fix it, let’s first understand the problem. Parcel theft, or ‘porch piracy’, has been on the rise. According to a report by C+R Research, over 43% of American consumers have had a package stolen in 2020, up from 36% in 2019. That’s almost half of all online shoppers.

These numbers paint a grim picture, but there’s a silver lining. This is where Swipe Package Protection comes into play.
