YAS and QBE Hong Kong have launched an innovative "Pay-As-You-Sell" product liability insurance tailored for e-commerce merchants. This pioneering solution, underwritten by QBE and distributed through YAS, utilizes advanced technology from Assureful, offering a scalable and dynamic insurance model that aligns premiums with real-time sales data.

Targeting merchants selling on platforms like Amazon, Shopify, and eBay, this insurance provides coverage for risks such as bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and medical payments. The model enables businesses to adjust premiums monthly based on their actual sales, moving away from traditional fixed annual premiums.
