Flex Embedded

Embedding insurance into purchases since 2007.

Flex Embedded is the company behind PetRx by Flex and FlexProtect. We came from the travel-insurance world, where we built embedded programs for major airlines and travel platforms. We brought that playbook to ecommerce — and we're making it easier than ever for retailers to offer real protection to their customers.

    Up to 60%

For nearly two decades the Flex team built embedded travel-insurance programs for the largest airlines and travel platforms in the world. Insurance had to fit a moment — the moment someone was choosing a flight, a cruise, a vacation. Get the offer right and the take rate moved. Get it wrong and it was just clutter.

When we looked at ecommerce, we saw the same shape: a moment of purchase, a real need for protection, and an enormous gap between what carriers offer and what retailers can actually surface to their customers. We built Flex Embedded to close that gap.

We don't think of ourselves as an insurance company. We're a tech company that knows insurance — and we know how to put it where customers will actually use it.

Embedded protection is to ecommerce what travel insurance was to airlines: a high-margin revenue line that lives at the moment of purchase, with no engineering work and no support burden for the store.

Track record

Embedded insurance is not new to us.

Flex's founding team built embedded travel-insurance programs for major airlines and travel platforms long before “embedded insurance” was a category. We learned what it takes to make protection feel like a useful add — not a shakedown.
