What is Extend?
Founded in 2019, Extend operates at the intersection of fintech and e-commerce, providing a sophisticated platform that enables merchants to generate incremental revenue while simultaneously safeguarding their customers against product damage and shipping losses. The company's modern, API-first approach to protection plans allows retailers to integrate seamless insurance offerings directly into the checkout experience. This value proposition addresses a critical pain point for online businesses, effectively transforming a traditional cost center into a high-margin revenue stream.
