This is such a good idea - not much take up yet - but it will come. Very easy to install then just leave it alone and let it work

Absolutely love Carbon Checkout & so do my customers! I'm moving into a shop soon and I'm very excited to see how many customers will round up their bill in the shop, I think it's fantastic that you can use it both on the website & in person too!! Would definitely recommend.

GREAT APP! - Definitely something every Shopify store could incorporate into their Shopping Cart. We installed it and needed a bit of help with how it appeared on our theme, and we received an instant response and they got us setup. We have already had a few customers use this feature, which is super cool. Thanks for creating an app that makes a difference! Keep it up!

Excellent product that really resonates well with my customer base. Not only does everyone use it, but I get messages from customers telling me they appreciate the fact that we offer the service and that it was easy to use. I think it adds a feel good factor and I'm really excited to watch and see the progress of the projects that we are now part of funding. Thanks to the Carbon checkout crew for the excellent customer service and ease of setup.

Carbon Checkout has been an amazing asset to our online business. It's allowing our customers the option of contributing funds at checkout to help offset carbon emissions. The look and feel of the app flows perfectly with our website. The app is easy to navigate and we've had nothing but positive feedback from customers about how green this app is. The app makers and programmers have done a great job assisting us with any comments or questions we've had and have made our experience working with them a very positive one, as if we're part of the Carbon Checkout team. We here at LUMBR would definitely recommend this app to any company looking to have a greener option at checkout. We look forward to seeing the positive effects this app will have now and in the future.

edit: According to the app maker, issue with the app has been fixed. I haven't reinstalled it but I still like the idea so I'm giving it 4 stars. App ended up removing my site's header. Had to restore it from a backup. Good concept though. 4 stars for the concept -3 stars for removing my site's header
