Compensate for WooCommerce

About Compensate

Who we are
Compensate is a nonprofit on a mission to make every purchase decision a step towards carbon negativity. We calculate the climate impact of your customer’s order and shipment, and enable you to take action with your community.

How to get started

It takes just 5 minutes to install the Compensate app. We’ll walk you through the installation process, and with a few clicks and questions, you’ll be ready to go. If you need support, we’d love to help! For more information, visit our FAQ page or get in touch with us at [email protected].

• Info right in the app: Your customers don’t need to abandon their carts to learn more about Compensate

We calculate the climate impact of your customer’s order and shipment when they add items to their cart. In the shopping cart, your customers will see a checkbox enabling carbon negative delivery. If they click ‘yes’ and choose to compensate, we’ll add a small fee to their order and keep it clear by marking it as a new product in their cart. Other than that, the check out process remains the same.

Once the order is placed, you’ll ship it as you normally would – and we’ll get busy compensating for the climate impact! We don’t take any cuts from your customers’ payments, but use them in full towards carbon capture.

We’ll also let you know the impact achieved: your customer will see it in their receipts, and you’ll see it in your dashboard.

The emission calculations we use are based on the weight of the package and the distance of the delivery. On average, the cost of offsetting an international shipment weighing 1kg is 0.40€. On average, the cost of offsetting a domestic shipment weighing 1kg is 0.05€. Our calculations are verified, and you can read more about the math on our website.
