Shipping products across borders can be a daunting task for businesses. The logistics of transportation, customs, and delivery can be overwhelming, not to mention the risk of damage or loss during transit. To address these concerns, Deftship has introduced a new Open API for Insurance that provides businesses with the flexibility to purchase insurance for their shipments, even without having to use Deftship's shipping service.

Deftship's Open API for Insurance is designed to provide businesses with a secure and reliable insurance option for their shipments. The primary benefit of this feature is that businesses can purchase insurance through the API and don't need to use Deftship's shipping service to access the insurance service. This means that businesses can purchase insurance for their own preferred shipping service individually and at a competitive rate.

The Open API for Insurance is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with existing shipping processes. Businesses can simply integrate the API with their preferred shipping service and select the insurance coverage they require. Once the shipment is processed, the insurance coverage is automatically added to the order, providing protection against damage or loss during transit.
