Summary

Merchants who buy shipping through Shopify and suffer mass package losses (e.g. 67 of 90 packages never arriving) are left out of pocket because Shopify forces them to file each claim individually instead of one bulk claim, and then reimburses only with non-transferable shipping credit rather than real money. Carriers like InPost point the merchant back to Shopify, and Shopify offers no consolidated resolution or financial recourse. Sellers lose the actual revenue plus shipping cost while being handed store credit they cannot use to recover real cash, and there is no support escalation that works. No independent tool exists to batch/automate bulk carrier claims, recover transferable funds, or provide third-party shipping-insurance/protection across carriers. This is a painful, unsolved operational and financial gap that an indie developer could address with a claims-automation and shipping-protection product.
