<p>What is Handprint plugin?</p>
<p>Handprint allows you to automate contributions to NGOs with every purchase from your e-store. Once set up, a “widget” displays your impact (e.g. how much CO2 captured by your trees or how much plastic removed from coastal areas) on your Cart page, so your customers can see you’re a company that cares about the planet.</p>
<p>Why use Handprint plugin?</p>
<ul>
<li>Using the plugin is free, you only pay your impact.</li>
<li>Brand image: customers increasingly demand that businesses become more sustainable and they are voting with their wallets. Displaying key positive impact figures at the crucial moment of payment sends a powerful signal to your customers. They care, so do you.</li>
<li>Flexibility: choose – and change anytime – which project you have the most at heart, how you want to contribute and how much you want to give, starting with a single tree.</li>
<li>Variety: our projects range from reforestation, plastic offset, coral restoration and education. Our plan is to add more projects until all 17 Sustainable Development Goals can be easily supported through Handprint. Find one that fits your values!</li>
<li>Real-life connection: communities on the field send you photos, videos and messages, creating valuable assets for your website, social media feeds, and CSR communication.</li>
<li>Accuracy: not only can you track the number of trees you planted, but also their species, the amount of absorbed carbon over their lifetime, the impact on female employment in the local villages, etc. As our impact portfolio expands, so will our monitoring techniques.</li>
<li>Transparency: you know exactly where your money goes. We enable direct impact so that your financial contributions create more value. We are building our back-end on the blockchain for verification and audit.</li>
