Love the idea. Execution was challenging.
Had installed for a couple of months without the badge showing - when I went to put badge on and it showed blank on my Shopify 2.0 theme I contacted support. I was initially told it should work on my specific theme but then on checking support concluded it was a theme problem and I need to contact the theme developer. Lost confidence when cute marketing stats on emmissions that show to me as Admin can't be shared with my customer or shown on a page on my website, for example - even if coded in. Took my money on each order for a couple of months worked fine. Payment trail very thoroughly done.
Thanks for the feedback. It actually IS possible to display those stats! You can do that by activating "Marketing mode" with the online store editor. Please reach out to planet at shopify dot com if you'd like to schedule a quick call to walk through that. Thanks again for reaching out!
Love the idea and transparency with HOW the shipment becomes carbon neutral! But I can't add it to my checkout because I have a custom website instead of a Shopify theme. :( I can still use it in cart as a workaround, but customers very rarely view their cart that way. Please update it to work on checkout for custom stores!
Thanks so much for using Planet and offering this feedback. We're actively exploring ways to enable Planet users to leverage checkout better. It's super helpful for us to know about limitations like this -- thanks again.
Lovely idea and opportunity to easily offer carbon neutral shipping, but the customizations on the app could be a lot better. For example we can't display the banner in our store because the translation (that we can't change) is so clumsy.
Thanks for the review and feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve the experience and impact of our badging. It's possible that your store theme doesn't support selling in multiple languages – to translate the Planet app badge, you need to use a theme that's compatible with selling in multiple languages. You can find further details on multilingual themes here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/languages/manage-languages#add-new-language Thanks again for the feedback!
Worked great. Then bots kept ordering the carbon offset. We even changed our code so orders couldn't be made under $5. Shopify's solution was to get a bot protection app. The other carbon offset app we had didn't need this, so we will be going back to that app.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the trouble with bot orders and understand your decision. We appreciate you giving Planet a try.
This program is terrible. I was looking for something that would help us showcase our work. They expect you to pay $300.00 a month to be carbon-neutral.
Response: Their response is misleading. I never said the $300 was a set price. It is based on how much you ship and ours works out to $300-600 per month. That amount is ridiculous. They do not take into account the things we actually do ourselves to reduce our carbon footprint, and there is nowhere for us to notate that information (we do a lot). There is no reason we should HAVE to pay someone else to offset our carbon neutrality. There is an option to have the customer pay 50 cents, but if you choose that option, then you don't get the badge - and it looks to the customer as though you are putting it all on them and not sharing in the program. It's a great idea, but the execution of the program is poor.
This isn't accurate. The "Community" subscription enables customers to fund carbon-neutral shipping instead of merchants, which means 100% of funding comes from buyers. If merchants want to assign a sliver of their revenue to carbon-neutral shipping, then charges are based on factors like order volume, package weight, etc. There is definitely no flat charge of $300. Please feel free to reach out to planet at shopify dot com if we can help you get configured. Thanks for reviewing the app.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP!!!
I use many apps on my shopify store and this one was hands down the WORST! It charged my customers .50 cents over and over again without their consent. One customer said 8 times! Now I have to refund hundreds of these charges, which of course looks suspect making my business appear unreliable.
So if you want to lose customer faith and give yourself a massive headache then by all means...
UPDATE: I haven’t received any help on this matter, yet my customers are still being charged without their consent. This app being uninstalled for days and it’s still happening. They just told me to refund everyone and they’ll let the developers know the issue. Horrible and stressful experience with no accountability or resolutions.
We investigated this and discovered that the charges were not generated by Planet, but instead by attempted fraud: Someone was using your carbon-neutral shipping "product" to try and generate chargebacks. All charges were using the same name but different credit card numbers. (We assume they just picked a cheap item that didn’t need shipping, and then chose the "Support Carbon Removal" item, which is $0.50.) These charges triggered our fraud detection and were flagged in your admin. We would be happy to send you a screenshot of the transactions – please reach out to planet at shopify dot com if that would be helpful.
We love this approach to reducing our carbon footprint. Thank you Shopify for sharing our values and making it easy to implement with this app.
We really appreciate the feedback! Thanks so much for making commerce more sustainable 💚
Implementing Planet has been a meaningful step in making it possible for us to achieve carbon neutrality in our shipping operations. It's part of our broader plan, but every bit helps and given it's ease of use and administration, it's a no-brainer for us.
Thanks for the review and for making sustainability an important part of your brand!
Great app to very easily assist with carbon offsetting. Super helpful to our business.
Thanks so much for the feedback! We're thrilled to be able to help your business!
There was no charge with your permission and the charge was not authorized by you.
Thanks for the note. Planet users are never charged without permission. Planet users can also customize their "billing cap," which guarantees there will be no Planet charges above that customized threshold. Finally, Planet users can choose to enable customers to pay (instead of paying themselves). We'd be happy to unpack these options – reach out to planet at shopify dot com if you'd like to learn more.
