Very cool but it's only as good as what you can communicate the customer, where's the widget? Transparent marketing collateral is a must!
Joining the voices below - I wanted to see an icon or something shows up during checkout. Since customers have no way of knowing that you are really doing this, it is rather useless. For all they know, we could just be greenwashing. I would use this app 100% if there were something that showed up on the website that customers could actually see and understand the contribution being made. Until it does, I will be looking for something else.
Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and provide this valuable feedback. We can certainly see the value in potentially adding an icon for the Offset app at checkout. I would be happy to submit this feedback to our developers for future consideration. Thanks again! -Marty, Shopify Support.
Great initiative. Would that be possible to get details on what specific projects are being funded with Pachama? How was the $3.6 per ton decided?
The app is currently funding Pachama’s Jarí Para REDD+ Avoided Unplanned Deforestation project. This is a Verified Carbon Standard certified project that will be verified by Pachama using their machine learning, satellite imaging, and remote monitoring technology. The $3.60 per ton price covers the project costs to protect the existing forest, increase the biomass through improved forest management practices, and verify the project’s progress.
Simple app - straight to the point and for a great cause. Echoing some of the other reviews - we would also appreciate a widget to share information with our customers.
Great cause and we're onboard, but can we have some marketing collateral so we can show our customers that we care about offsetting the carbon emissions from the shipments please?
I installed the app to see if, like one reviewer says below, an icon showed up during checkout. I tested it - it didn't.

Hey, there. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and share your feedback. To clarify, the Offset App does not show an icon at checkout. If this is a feature you would like to have potentially added to the Offset App's features, I would be happy to submit this feedback to our developers for future consideration. Thank's again for taking the time to leave this review! -Marty, Shopify Support
Great idea but can you provide some marketing collateral or background so we can communicate it to our customers in the best way possible? Thanks!
The app is perfect except: !ALL THAT IS MISSING NOW IS A WAY TO SHOW OUR CUSTOMERS THAT WE COMPENSATE CO2!
As others mention, the initiative is great, but it needs to be shown to the customers in checkout and order confirmation page so they know about this. As a shopify this should not be a difficult thing to implement.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review; we really appreciate you sharing your feedback with us on how the Offset app can be approved. I can see why having the option to offset carbon emissions more visible to customers would be beneficial, and I will be sure to pass your comments onto our app development team. -Victor, Shopify Support
Love the concept but we need to be able to share to our customers the impact we are making by sharing the counter available in the app into a specific page or by having a HTML code to insert in our theme in our homepage for example. I look forward to see this happening soon so we can continue! We are ready to reduce our impact
I am pleased with everything. Thanks to the developers for making the app, and for the friendly support. Very much recommended!
I've been using it for a month and I can say it's the best! I've been using it for a month and I can say it's the best!
I really love this app and the team behind it. I really love this app and the team behind it. I really love this app and the team behind it.
Please add the ability to add a badge/notification at checkout to show customers that the shipping of their orders are being offset, just a little icon/verified message at checkout by the shipping method. Otherwise great app!
I give 5 stars, the support team is cooperative, highly recommend. highly recommend. highly recommend.

I find many US-focused dropshipping App while this one suits my niche better.

Finally! I found a reliable App! Trust me, you can't miss it! Finally! I found a reliable App! Trust me, you can't miss it!
the system had a glitch once and they solved it for me. This is a very new app but the team has been really helpful
Why I didn't find this App earlier? Can't ask for more!
Great service great products. Recommend. Recommend
Happy to be able to use this app. Would love it if customers could see that we offset emissions from our shipping. Let's make that happen!
Pleaseeee create a customer facing dashboard during checkout. This would elevate the app and our shop.
I want you to give us the ability to let customers see how much impact they are potentially able to make by doing a purchase, or how much they've made after they've checked out, like on the order confirmation page for instance, so it doesn't just feel like word fluff on our web pages. overall I like the idea and glad that it's automated. It'll be 5-star once I can show customers a way that they can make an impact. Bonus if you can even give customers the option to plant a tree(s) themselves during checkout!
This app has a lot of potential. Would easily be a 5 star app with checkout integration, a way for customers to view their contributions made, promo material for shop owners to advertise.
If updates not made anytime soon, we’ll be looking for other options. I find it silly major marketable features are missing from this app.
Our company loves Offset's ideals and organization. The website is easy to use and easy to connect to the shopify store, with links to show proudly your impact on the environment. Offset program is perfect to support your eco-friendly, biological e-commerce.
The idea is amazing and I love it. Also the costs are quite affordable and fair.
Unfortunately it doesn't provide a way to show this to the customers automatically. Would be useful to get some kind of logo or badge showing my store has enviro. friendly shipping. Right now the customers should take my word for that and believe me.
Having a tool, widget, code or ... to show the results would be great too.
Great app but someone got lazy and didn't finish the job as echoed by every review here. You have to create a widget of something for the customers otherwise its he said she says? Guys come on get it done.
I run an ecologically focused woodworking company, and this creates such a great way to actually practice what I preach! I appreciate the simplicity of the back-end UI, and clear impact of my recent sales. Thanks!
It's nice, I feel better that my store is able to help in the fight against climate change, but it would be great if Shopify provided marketing material/logos/components in the checkout/cart/product page that would help us demonstrate our effort...
Can we have a page that is created to share on our website of what we are doing to be carbon neutral as how many trees have been planted etc..
