The gap

E-commerce insurance shouldn't rely on annual guesswork.

Traditional product liability cover requires merchants to forecast annual sales and prepay yearly premiums. Pay-As-You-Sell embeds cover in seller platforms with premiums that move with real revenue.

Before Pay-As-You-Sell

  • Annual sales forecastsMerchants estimate full-year revenue to set premiums — volatile businesses overpay or underinsure.
  • Upfront and broker costsAnnual premiums, deposits and third-party broker fees strain cash flow.
  • Growth still priced on old projectionsAs business scales, premiums may not adjust in time — sellers pay for outdated forecasts.

After Pay-As-You-Sell

  • Monthly sync with real salesPlatforms sync monthly revenue and premiums auto-adjust — no annual estimates.
  • No deposit, start with month oneOnly the first month's premium is due at binding — no upfront capital barrier.
  • Dynamic pricing, never overchargedPremiums scale with actual revenue and product category — pay only for cover you need.
