Final Thoughts

Overall, "Planet—Carbon‑neutral shipping" is acknowledged for its noble environmental objective and the appeal of being part of carbon-offsetting solutions.

Good concept, poor execution = the hallmark of all Shopify-developed apps. Worked fine initially but I just noticed it stopped collecting orders a few weeks ago now. I've had plenty of orders in this time and the dashboard says 0, there are no charges to my account from Planet so it's definitely not working. Like all of the other Shopify apps, support doesn't actually exist in any meaningful way.

Ethical Bedding. Strongly recommend all shopify store owners to download and utilise this app, which in some way will offset the damage that we all do to the planet. App is easy to set up and use, so there are no excuses! :)

Awesome app, no no-brainer to use it. Two issues though are the inability to add metric measures on the website (all imperial) vs. the metric on the backend. Yes, the rest of the world minus 3 countries use metric. The other issue is the explainer page is so generic it is useless. Why not incorporate the site stats in it? See how much CO2 we saved type thing.
