Making unapproved charges. We are paying as much as $82 per order which is insane. The monthly spending limit doesn't help much because they will withhold and charge the remaining to next month.
We're sorry you didn't have a good experience with Planet! Planet does not make any charges that aren't approved, so there is some sort of misunderstanding.
Looking at your store, I see some of the items are extremely heavy, e.g., a grill that weighs more than 70 pounds. Because carbon emissions are based in part of the weight of a package, then a 70-pound shipment will simply generate more emissions and therefore carry a larger price tag to offset.
You can always use the "billing cap" to ensure that you're never billed more than you expect.
Please reach out to planet at shopify dot com if you have questions or would like further details. Again, apologies that you did not have a good experience with Planet.
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.
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.
Thanks for reaching out. You definitely shouldn't be getting billed on POS orders and we will gladly refund you all of those charges. Our team has already reached out and we will get your bill and refund sorted asap.
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.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry your experience with the app was so disappointing! We'd be happy to help you get the badge displayed in your cart, as well as show you where to find info about payment tiers, e.g., the companies and technologies you can support with different plans. If you're interested, please reach out to planet at shopify dot com. Thanks again.
An app that promotes "Your customers can choose to support groundbreaking carbon removal technologies". Then you go to add the widget to checkout, so that customers can decide if they want to support this, and you basically cannot. You then are asked from Support to spend 15' of your 60' design time, to have Shopify hard code it at the checkout process. No.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry that the app isn't meeting your expectations. While it is not possible to place the badge inside of checkout, the interactive badge for merchants to fund carbon removal can be placed throughout your online store, for example on the home page, product pages, and shopping cart. We'd be happy to get that set up for you if you'd like -- reach out to planet at shopify dot com.
Nice idea, but after installing most of the time the "There's a problem loading this page" message in the admin interface. Cache, Cookie Reset etc. didn't help. It's seems to be still in beta.
Thanks for the feedback. We're sorry that the app isn't working right for you. We're always working on bug fixes and will catch what is causing your problems asap. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Installing this app and putting the widget on my web created big CLS(cumulative layout shift) problems and broke the theme, persisted after unistalling it. This proves that Shopify doesnt know what is doing.
Salve, ho installato la vostra app, installato il badge via codice (non ho un tema 2.0) ma non succede niente, il badge viene visualizzato correttamente ma in fase di check-out non succede nulla ne viene visualizzato nessun messaggio. Come posso risolvere?
Grazie per il feedback e mi dispiace che tu stia affrontando questa sfida. È infatti possibile esporre il badge Planet senza Tema 2.0. Ci sono dettagli su come farlo qui: https://help.shopify.com/it/manual/shipping/carbon-neutral-shipping/planet-app
The app doesn't show the Numbers of Neutralized Carbon correctly. I have been trying to contact the app support but still no response. This affects our business operation and brand image. Please get it fixed asap, thanks!
Thanks for your review and apologies that you haven't had a great experience. Since your post a few days ago, we fixed a bug that was causing data not to load in the app dashboard. There was no lost data, and all of your data will be backfilled.
Apologies again that your experience with Planet hasn't gone to plan. We're going to keep improving the app and sincerely appreciate feedback like yours.
Implementation of the Badget is complicated and not well explained. Showing it on the product page is as I know hardly possible. The Shopify support just answered that I have to hire an Expert just to show the badget on the relevant parts of my Shop. I am disappointed...
Thanks for your feedback, and sorry this was more challenging than expected. Based on your feedback, and similar feedback we've heard from others, we're looking at how to improve this process for merchants like yourself. Thanks for sharing your experience. - Brady, Sustainability @ Shopify
