7. PROTECTION PLANS 
We make it easy to integrate your protection plan provider. Once connected, the system will automatically notify your provider whenever a new plan is activated through an order — no manual activation or follow-up needed. It's a major time saver for your team!
We currently integrate with the following protection plan providers.
If you’re already working with one of these providers, go to the Integrations Page, toggle on your provider, and enter your Private and Public Keys. Once that’s done, send your rep’s email address to [email protected].
If you’re not yet connected with a provider, we will help you find the best fit during your onboarding call. We'll connect you with a representative who will guide you through the setup, help you create your account, and send us the necessary information directly — making the process quick and easy for you!
