Analytics Module

The Analytics module helps you understand the financial, operational, and customer behavior impact of your protection offerings — from sales and attachment rates to claims, losses, and profitability.

With powerful visualizations and real-time alerts, you can make data-backed decisions about pricing, coverage, auto-approval rules, and which plans to promote or retire.

Key Dashboards & Metrics

1. Alerts & Insights

At the top of the Analytics module, Umbrella flags any risks or opportunities:

  • Pending claims alerts (e.g. “42 pending claims require attention”)
  • High claim rate warnings (e.g. "Raise your premium from 9.55% to 12.4% to prevent loss")
  • System suggestions (e.g. when to reprice a plan or auto-approve low-value claims)

These alerts are contextual and actionable — helping you stay ahead of risk.

2. Sales & Claims Performance

  • New Policies Sold
    Total value of warranties sold in the selected time period.
  • Cost of Claims
    Amount paid out on approved claims.
  • Expected Claims
    Predicted number of claims based on historical rates and current sales.
  • Expected Claim Cost
    Forecasted dollar value of claims (useful for loss modeling).
  • Realized Profit
    Profit from expired, unused plans — your cleanest net gain.
  • Expected Profit
    Projected profit after accounting for estimated claims.

3. Conversion & Coverage Metrics

  • Units Sold
    Total products sold (with or without protection).
  • Avg Premium
    Average price paid by customers for protection plans.
  • Avg Policy Limit
    Maximum claimable value per plan on average.
  • Total Policy Limit
    Total potential exposure if all policies were claimed at full value.
  • Plans Expired
    Total number of protection plans that ended during the period.
  • Claim Rate
    Percentage of policies that resulted in claims.

4. Trends & Graphs

  • Daily Claims
    Visualization of claims volume over time — shows seasonality or spikes.
  • Take Rate
    Percentage of customers who bought protection when it was offered.
  • Claims Summary
    Pie chart of resolution types (e.g., reshipped, credit issued, denied, pending).

5. Leaderboards

Using Analytics to Take Action

  • High claim rates? Consider adjusting pricing, coverage rules, or adding fraud checks.
  • Low take rate? Try better PDP placement or email follow-ups.
  • Profitability dipping? Audit claim resolution types and look for abuse or overspending.
  • Surplus profit? Reinvest into extended terms, referral programs, or branded marketing.

Export & Reporting

  • Export reports via CSV (custom date range, filters)
  • Automated weekly or monthly email reports (configurable per team)
  • Coming soon: Slack integration for threshold alerts

Best Practices

  • Monitor claim rate vs. profit monthly to maintain a healthy warranty margin
  • Track top-converting products and attach rates to inform bundling strategies
  • Use alerts to preemptively adjust plan rules (pricing, evidence, exclusions)
  • Benchmark by plan type to find underperforming programs

What is Umbrella and how does it work with Shopify?
Umbrella is a warranty management platform built specifically for Shopify stores. It lets merchants offer, sell, and manage extended warranties, protection plans, and OEM warranties directly within their storefront. Once installed, Umbrella automatically integrates with your product pages, cart, and checkout, allowing customers to add protection plans in one click. All warranty data, claims, and customer communications stay inside your Shopify admin.
Can I sell extended warranties directly to customers using Umbrella?
Yes. Umbrella allows you to create and sell extended warranty plans under your own brand, keeping 100% of the profit. Unlike third-party providers, Umbrella lets merchants set their own pricing, coverage terms, and claim rules. You can offer multi-year protection plans as a product upsell on the product page, in the cart, or after checkout; all tracked and managed inside your store.
What’s the difference between Umbrella and other warranty providers like Extend or Mulberry?
Umbrella is a self-managed warranty platform, not a reseller. Competing providers like Extend, Mulberry, or Clyde act as intermediaries that force you to sell warranties under their brand name, take a share of the revenue, and force your customers to submit claims through them. Umbrella lets you own the customer relationship, pricing, and brand experience. There are no third-party portals or customer redirects - everything happens within your Shopify store.
Does Umbrella handle warranty claims automatically?
Yes. Umbrella includes a native, embedded claim form that verifies warranty eligibility, processes claims, and can trigger resolution workflows automatically. Merchants can define repair, replacement, or refund outcomes, while customers can track their claim status directly through your storefront. The entire process is branded, transparent, and requires no external login or separate dashboard.
Can Umbrella manage OEM or manufacturer warranties?
Absolutely. Umbrella supports automatic and manual OEM warranty registration by linking order data, serial numbers, and product details. This enables manufacturers and brands to track warranty eligibility for every unit sold - whether the purchase was direct or through a third-party retailer. OEM registrations can also be used to bring customers back to your own site for warranty activation and remarketing.
How do I set up Umbrella in my Shopify store?
Setup takes only a few minutes. Install Umbrella from the Shopify App Store, connect your store, and choose whether to sell extended or OEM warranties. Then, create your protection plans, set pricing, and customize the widget design. Once enabled, Umbrella automatically adds the warranty selector to your product and cart pages. No custom coding is required.
How much does Umbrella cost and what plans are available?
Umbrella offers flexible pricing based on your store’s sales volume and feature needs. Plans include a free tier for testing, plus advanced tiers for automated claims, OEM registration, AI fraud detection, and compliance coverage. Pricing scales with your attach rate, ensuring merchants of any size can start offering warranties profitably.
