Planet – CO2‑neutral levering

I don't get all the hate this app gets in the comments... It's a great and easy way to support the causes we care about and we're thrilled to be part of this program. The app itself has great features and options for how to display our contributions on our site. My only request would be a more condensed view of the impact data as it takes up too much vertical space, which is the only reason we're not making this visible right now.

We also love this app! Super easy way for us to offset our carbon impact through shipping and to provide customers with peace of mind when ordering from all over the country. We've used Planet to send packages over 1,732,585 km, since installation. Very affordable, with a simple setup and flexibility in terms of design and communication. Highly recommend Luke & The Roadies

Very disappointing and confusing experience.
Lack of transparency in pricing – The app charges based on estimated emissions, but the logic is completely unclear. When tracking information is not available (which is always the case at checkout), they multiply the emissions estimate by 3. Whether it's the merchant or the customer paying, almost every order gets overcharged. On top of that, I have no idea where the money is actually going – there’s no clear breakdown or follow-up to show how carbon removal is being funded.

Unfair in both billing modes – In “Community” mode, customers are charged right when they place the order — but there's never a tracking number at that point, so they are always paying 3x the estimated emissions. In the “Merchant” mode, it’s the same problem: as a seller, we can't generate a tracking number at the moment of purchase, yet we get billed for the 3x inflated estimate too.

This app needs to be far more transparent and fair in how it calculates and communicates charges. Until then, I can't recommend it to other businesses.

There is no support or a way to download results. Just a dash board with an image. Even when contacting shopify support they had no idea how to get the data to me. I will be moving to a better hosted site like green spark.

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.
