What is the Protection Plan?

Protection Plan is an optional service available on TikTok Shop that offers extra protection for buyer purchases, such as gadgets, electronics, and other products. It covers accidental damage or loss that occurs during normal usage after delivery is complete.
The Protection Plan is provided in partnership with Chubb Samaggi Insurance Public Company Limited (a Chubb Company), is a registered general insurance company regulated by the Office of the Insurance Commission (OIC).
By understanding the Protection Plan, Sellers can better promote a safe and confident shopping experience, helping to increase Buyer trust and encourage higher conversion rates in their stores.

How does the Protection Plan work?

  • Eligible items will display a Protection Plan option during checkout.
