VerdantCart

<p>VerdantCart Carbon Reports helps WooCommerce stores estimate carbon emissions from orders and review reporting data over time.</p>
<p>It turns completed WooCommerce orders into period-based carbon reporting snapshots, helping merchants understand trends, identify higher-impact products, and export reports for internal sustainability review.</p>
<p>The plugin calculates estimated emissions for eligible WooCommerce orders, aggregates reporting data by period, and displays results in dashboards for both store-level and customer-level reporting.</p>
<p>Main reporting features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Estimated carbon emissions per WooCommerce order</li>
<li>Monthly, weekly, and yearly reporting views</li>
<li>Store-level and customer-level dashboards</li>
<li>Trend comparison against previous periods</li>
<li>Product hotspot reporting</li>
<li>CSV and PDF exports</li>
<li>Sustainability insights</li>
<li>Snapshot-based reporting for stable historical results</li>
</ul>
<p>VerdantCart Carbon Reports is useful for:</p>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce stores that want visibility into estimated order emissions</li>
<li>Merchants preparing internal sustainability summaries</li>
<li>Brands monitoring emission trends over time</li>
<li>Store owners who need exportable reporting data</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin provides operational sustainability reporting based on WooCommerce order data. It is not a certified ESG report, GHG Protocol report, legal compliance document, or verified carbon audit.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Estimate emissions for WooCommerce orders</li>
<li>View reporting by month, week, and year</li>
<li>Review store-level reporting data</li>
<li>Review customer-level reporting data</li>
<li>Compare reporting periods</li>
<li>Identify higher-impact products with hotspot reporting</li>
<li>Use snapshot-based reporting for stable results</li>
<li>Export reports as CSV or PDF</li>
<li>View sustainability insights</li>
<li>Run backfill for historical WooCommerce orders</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>After activation, open VerdantCart from the WordPress admin menu to view carbon reporting for your WooCommerce store.</p>
<p>The plugin can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Estimate emissions for eligible WooCommerce orders</li>
<li>Aggregate reporting data by month, week, and year</li>
<li>Display store-wide reporting and customer-facing dashboard data</li>
<li>Highlight higher-impact products</li>
<li>Export reports for further use</li>
</ul>
<p>For stores with existing completed orders, use the Backfill screen once to build historical reporting data.</p>
<p>The customer-facing dashboard can be added to a WordPress page from the plugin setup flow or by using the dashboard shortcode.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>VerdantCart Carbon Reports estimates emissions using internal calculation rules applied to WooCommerce order data.</p>
<p>Reporting data is stored inside your WordPress installation and organized into aggregated snapshots used by dashboards, comparisons, insights, hotspots, and exports.</p>
<p>The plugin uses snapshot-based reporting so historical reporting periods remain stable instead of being recalculated during normal dashboard page loads.</p>
<h3>Data & Privacy</h3>
<p>All core calculations are performed locally in your WordPress installation.</p>
<p>The plugin does not require sending WooCommerce order data to an external service for its core reporting features.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.4 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 8.0 or higher</li>
<li>WooCommerce 8.0 or higher</li>
</ul>
