Offset

by Shopify

Make your shipping emissions carbon neutral.

3.4 of 5 stars(38 reviews)
Free to install. Additional charges may apply.

Minimize your carbon footprint

Transportation used to ship orders burns fossil fuels and generates carbon emissions. Those emissions trap heat, leading to climate change.

Calculate shipping emissions

Offset calculates the cost to neutralize your shipping emissions by protecting forests through certified projects and partners.

Monitor your impact

Your Offset dashboard displays your monthly emissions, including number of shipped orders, distance traveled, and total shipping distance.

About Offset

Why use Offset

Offset allows you to neutralize your shipping emissions that contribute to climate change. You can proudly tell your customers that they are supporting an environmentally-friendly business that invests in sustainability initiatives to counteract the environmental impact of shipping.

We're excited to work with Pachama and contribute to certified projects, complying with the best-in-class carbon offset protocols and standards.

Offset your shipping emissions

Every month, Offset calculates the total emissions generated by your shipped orders, and that number becomes your monthly Offset cost. The price is low—a few cents or less per order—and your Offset payments go towards forest protection initiatives. Charges will appear on your monthly Shopify bill, and you can opt out at any time.

Measure your impact

From your Offset dashboard, you can see the total amount of shipping emissions you’ve offset and the environmental impact benefit of those offsets, including how many trees you've paid to protect. You can share these environmentally-friendly statistics with your customers.

Heard! Transparency is key here—this app needs an icon or visual indicator, as previously stated. Please...

Thank you for writing your review and for providing your feedback to us here. I can certainly see the value in the app having an icon or indicator and I will be sure to pass your suggestion onto our development team. -Victor, Shopify Support

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.

I installed the app to see if, like one reviewer says below, an icon showed up during checkout. I tested it - it didn't. 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.

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
