Business insurance

Insurance for Online Retailers

An online retailer's biggest exposures are products, data and stock. Product liability is important because you are responsible for what you sell, even imported goods, if a product causes harm. Cyber insurance is increasingly essential — you hold customer and payment data and run a store that is a target for breaches and fraud. Stock and contents cover protects your inventory in storage from fire, theft and damage.

Public liability and, if you employ staff, workers' compensation complete a typical program, along with business interruption for lost online sales. Premiums for an online retailer often sit around the ~$1,200 mark, and with many policies renewing around 30 June, it is worth reviewing product-liability and cyber limits before the new financial year so a faulty product or a data breach does not wipe out your margin.

Common questions

Online Retailers — insurance questions

What insurance does an online retailer need?

Product liability covers harm caused by goods you sell, cyber insurance protects against data breaches and fraud, and stock cover protects inventory in storage. Public liability and workers' compensation apply if you have premises or staff, and business interruption covers lost online sales.

Do I need product liability if I only resell or dropship?

Often yes — selling goods, including imported or dropshipped items, can make you liable if a product causes injury or damage. Reviewing product-liability cover before your 30 June renewal helps ensure you are protected against a claim you did not expect.
