Planet—Carbon‑neutral shipping

1. It charges you for every order--even POS orders which don't require shipping. 58% of my sales are in-store. Insanely unethical to automatically charge *shipping* offsets for *non-shipping* sales.

2. It seriously inflates your numbers. I made 640 sales in the last 30 days, and was charged for 907 orders. (again, about 370 of these orders didn't require shipping).

3. The history graph shows I had nearly 200 sales *in one day* a few weeks ago. I actually had 29...and only 6 of those required shipping...and only 5 of those had shipped at this point. So I paid nearly $0.15*200=$30 in carbon offsets for 5 shipments for that one day.

4. The app ambiguates "orders" and "deliveries". Per my Shopify reports, I only had 288 "deliveries" in the time it claimed I had 907.

Shopify, these infractions erode what little trust people have in environmental practices. I am happy to remove this review if you refund my inflated fees...including Planet fees for all POS orders.

My company has been carbon neutral for years, and will continue to be so for sometime thanks to the overages I've paid using Planet.

Like all Shopify apps this one is a disaster. It's all marketing and no functionality. No way to turn it on/off in the cart and no way to talk to them.

NO way to contact def - shopify support denied knowing anything about it and started explaining Planet Labs to be instead, a satellite company owned by my friends. FFS.

No transparency about the payment tiers, the badge does NOT show up in my cart. Theres like so much info on Planet but nothing helpful and it doesn't work. What a waste of time.

It could be great to have different choices of badges.
Like a mini one (as you can see on this website for exemple )

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!

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.

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.

The Millennium Package is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the world. This inspiring initiative provides a wonderful way for individuals to contribute positively to society. I am truly impressed by their efforts and I am excited to see the change they will bring to the world. I wholeheartedly support their endeavors and wish them all the success in their future endeavors.

I really like this idea, but I was able to change my contribution amount/percentage from another source. Will there be an option to contribute a % of orders? I want to contribute more than 0.15 per order. Can I contact support to change my plan to change that contribution amount?

Thank you!

It's a smart app designed to do something meaningful and useful for the environment we live in. Each of us can do our part with our way of life and daily habits.

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.
