E-commerce business insurance in Quebec: Your questions answered
What insurance do e-commerce businesses owners need?
Most e-commerce businesses and online retailers require product liability insurance and commercial general liability insurance to protect their operations.
- Product liability insurance protects your business if a product you sell causes injury or property damage to a customer.
- Commercial general liability insurance (CGL) protects your business from third-party claims involving bodily injury or property damage.
If you sell products on Amazon, you may also need specific Amazon seller insurance.
These protections form the foundation of e-commerce business insurance coverage for online retailers.
To ensure your policy fully covers your operations, it’s recommended to speak with an e-commerce insurance expert.
How much does e-commerce business insurance cost?
Insurance for online businesses often ranges from $500 and $5,000 per year, depending on:
- Your annual revenue and sales volume
- The types of products you sell
- Whether you sell internationally
- Your claims history
- The coverage limits you choose
Higher-risk products such as electronics, supplements, or children’s products may require higher premiums.
The best way to determine cost is to get a tailored business insurance quote.
Do Amazon sellers in Canada need specific insurance?
Yes. Many Canadian business owners who sell on Amazon are required to carry specific insurance once their sales exceed Amazon’s threshold.
Amazon typically requires sellers to have:
- At least $1M in commercial liability coverage
- Product liability insurance
- Amazon named as an additional insured
Even if your business hasn’t yet reached the $10,000 monthly sales requirement, it’s still recommended to carry Amazon seller insurance to protect your business from potential lawsuits or product liability claims.
Having proper insurance for your e-commerce operations also helps to ensure your seller account remains compliant with Amazon’s platform rules.
How can I get insurance for my e-commerce or online retail business?
Getting insurance for an online business starts with providing basic information about your company and the products you sell.
A broker will typically ask for:
- Your business location in Quebec
The types of products sold online - Your annual sales volume
- The platforms you sell on (such as Amazon, Shopify, or other e-commerce platforms)
- Your claims history
A commercial insurance broker can then compare multiple options to find the right online retail business insurance for you.
Whether you sell through Amazon or your own e-commerce store, the right coverage helps protect your business as it grows.
