Pepperfry integrates XCover to protect shoppers and enhance customer claims experiences, which boasts an industry-leading NPS.

Mumbai, April 30 2022, Cover Genius, the leading insurtech for embedded protection, today announced a partnership with the e-commerce furniture and home goods company, Pepperfry. By integrating with XCover, Cover Genius’ award-winning global distribution platform, Pepperfry can now offer personalized product protection plans directly to customers with a single API call. This partnership is aimed at bringing a seamless purchase experience for millions of shoppers. 

“We are excited to partner with one of the largest online retailers in India to enhance protection options for e-commerce customers,” said Arijit Chakraborty, Managing Director, APAC for Cover Genius. “Our research shows 60% of customers prefer to buy protection from their favorite online retailers. With this in mind, we worked with Pepperfry to create one of the first furniture protection offerings in the region, providing customers with a more tailored experience at checkout.”

Pepperfry’s unique click-and-mortar structure allows customers to shop for furniture online and in-store at Pepperfry Studios. The integration of XCover protects omnichannel customers against their furniture-related worries in one seamless platform.
