How does CPS support both online and in-store appliance warranty sales?

Consumer Priority Service is structured so retailers can offer appliance protection plans in-store, online, or both—without needing separate providers or workflows.

CPS connects to physical POS systems, ecommerce platforms like Shopify and BigCommerce, and supports custom integrations and manual workflows. This means warranties can be presented on the sales floor, at checkout online, or even post-sale through follow-up marketing. All plan administration, claims, and reporting are unified in the same CPS portal regardless of sales channel.

• Unified program for in-store and online sales—no separate contracts needed
• Shopify and BigCommerce app integrations for streamlined ecommerce warranty offers
• Manual entry, batch uploads, and API options for flexible order submission
• Consistent claims process and customer support across all channels
• Centralized reporting and revenue tracking for total visibility

Why do appliance retailers use CPS for both online and in-store warranty sales?

Many appliance retailers use Consumer Priority Service for both online and in-store appliance warranty sales because it lets them manage all protection plans under one program, regardless of sales channel. This unified approach simplifies administration, gives retailers more control over revenue, and ensures customers have a consistent experience whether they buy in person, on a website, or through a marketplace. CPS supports flexible integrations, meaning stores can start with manual order entry and scale up to full ecommerce automation as they grow, all while keeping claims and reporting centralized.

• Unified program for all sales channels—retailers can offer the same coverage online and in-store under one system
• Flexible integration options—CPS supports manual entry, batch uploads, POS, Shopify, BigCommerce, and API workflows
• Centralized claims and administration—dealers manage everything in one portal for every sales channel
• Consistent customer experience—same claims process and service support for in-store and online buyers
• Expanded revenue opportunities—capture warranty sales from in-person, ecommerce, and post-sale marketing
• Seamless scaling—retailers can start simple and automate as their business grows, with no need to switch providers

How do appliance retailers typically use CPS to unify warranty sales across channels?

Many appliance retailers using Consumer Priority Service start by offering warranty coverage in their brick-and-mortar locations, then add online and marketplace sales as their business grows. Experienced retailers often leverage CPS integrations—like the Shopify or BigCommerce app—for automated ecommerce warranty offers, while still using the same portal for in-store transactions. Some retailers also use CPS Post-Sale Marketing to recover missed warranty sales from both online and in-store purchases, increasing total attachment rates without changing their sales process.

How does unified CPS warranty coverage work for both online and in-store sales?

Consumer Priority Service allows appliance retailers to offer and manage warranty coverage across both in-store and online channels using a single program. Coverage plans can be attached at the point of sale in-store, through ecommerce checkout integrations (like the CPS Shopify and BigCommerce apps), or bundled with marketplace listings. All warranty sales, claims, and reporting are administered through one CPS portal, regardless of how the coverage was sold.

Retailers can submit orders manually, batch upload sales, or use automated integrations, making it simple to match their workflow and technology level. CPS also provides post-sale marketing that contacts eligible customers who declined coverage originally, further unifying the warranty program across every transaction type. This flexibility helps retailers maximize warranty revenue and maintain a consistent service experience throughout the ownership cycle.

What does CPS typically cover and exclude for appliance retailers selling online and in-store?

CPS Warranties are designed to cover major mechanical and electrical failures for appliances, regardless of whether the product was sold online, in-store, or through a marketplace. Coverage starts after the manufacturer warranty ends (for True Extended) or at the time of sale (for 50% Back and SND/Open Box programs). Exclusions are consistent across channels, so retailers can set the same expectations for every customer.

What Does CPS Cover?

• Mechanical and electrical failures after manufacturer warranty expiration
• Parts and labor for covered repairs (motors, compressors, control boards, pumps, electronics, etc.)
• Service coordination and claims handling by CPS
• Replacement or reimbursement if repair is not feasible
• Coverage for new, open-box, scratch-and-dent, refurbished, and used appliances (with eligible program)
• Food spoilage benefit (freezers), laundry credit (washers/dryers), and removal/reinstall benefits

What Is Not Covered by CPS?

• Cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, rust, paint, trim, appearance issues)
• Non-functional parts (handles, knobs, shelves, decorative or accessory components)
• Consumables and wear items (filters, bulbs, batteries, belts, gaskets)
• Accidental damage, drops, or misuse (unless accidental coverage is purchased for other categories)
• Environmental/external damage (water, flood, fire, storm, earthquake, installation errors)
• Pre-existing conditions or failures that occurred before warranty activation

How does the CPS claims process work for online and in-store appliance warranty sales?

When a customer needs service on a covered appliance, they initiate a claim with CPS by phone, web portal, chat, text, or email—regardless of where the product was purchased. CPS reviews the claim, confirms coverage, and coordinates repair or replacement using its service network or through the selling dealer if applicable.

This process keeps claims administration and customer support centralized, so retailers don’t have to manage separate workflows for online and in-store warranty sales. CPS handles the logistics, communication, and resolution, reducing dealer workload and ensuring customers get the same experience however they bought the product.

How can customers, dealers, and service centers contact CPS for support?

CPS makes it easy for customers, appliance retailers, and service centers to get support or file claims using multiple contact options. Help is available by phone, web, portal, text, chat, and email for every group.

Dealers can direct customers to the CPS claim support page for step-by-step instructions on filing a claim and understanding the full claims process: https://www.cpscentral.com/how-to-file-a-claim/
