Extend offers Shopify’s enterprise merchants product protection that can grow with their businesses and drive customer loyalty
Extend announced it has been named a Shopify Plus Certified App Partner. Extend’s addition to the exclusive app program reflects the tech-based product protection company’s success in enabling Shopify’s high-growth enterprise merchants to offer a superior post-purchase experience.
“The Shopify Plus Certified App Program is designed to meet the advanced requirements of the world’s fastest growing brands,” said Mark Bergen, VP Revenue at Shopify. “We’re happy to welcome Extend to the program, bringing their insight and experience in warranty and protection to the Plus merchant community.”
Extend’s acceptance to the Shopify Plus Certified App Program came after a rigorous application process. Applicants must meet stringent requirements in four key product areas–support, security, privacy and performance. The last area, performance, considers the quality of an app’s integration into a merchant’s site, measuring partner infrastructure, stability, and uptime.

Indeed, merchants across Extend’s industry verticals have seen increased conversion rates, higher customer LTV and improved CSAT scores.
