About get rate insurance

[Justin54]

I found the insuranceOptions parameter in the label creation process, but I did not find any insurance related information in the getRate API. Is there a solution?

Hello Justin54!

Thank you for your post! While this is not a feature offered, it might be helpful for you to know that most carriers automatically include up to $100 of insurance. Shipstations  GetRate calls are pretty simple, using dimensions, weight, and zip to provide a rate, and that’s it; it doesn’t deal with insurance. 

I hope this answer helps! If you need any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to support@shipstation.com

Happy Shipping!
