VerdantCart Carbon Reports helps WooCommerce stores estimate carbon emissions from orders and review reporting data over time.
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.
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.
Main reporting features include:
- Estimated carbon emissions per WooCommerce order
- Monthly, weekly, and yearly reporting views
- Store-level and customer-level dashboards
- Trend comparison against previous periods
- Product hotspot reporting
- CSV and PDF exports
- Sustainability insights
- Snapshot-based reporting for stable historical results
VerdantCart Carbon Reports is useful for:
- WooCommerce stores that want visibility into estimated order emissions
- Merchants preparing internal sustainability summaries
- Brands monitoring emission trends over time
- Store owners who need exportable reporting data
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.
Features
- Estimate emissions for WooCommerce orders
- View reporting by month, week, and year

- Compare reporting periods

- Use snapshot-based reporting for stable results

Usage
After activation, open VerdantCart from the WordPress admin menu to view carbon reporting for your WooCommerce store.
The plugin can:
- Estimate emissions for eligible WooCommerce orders
- Aggregate reporting data by month, week, and year
- Display store-wide reporting and customer-facing dashboard data
- Highlight higher-impact products
- Export reports for further use
For stores with existing completed orders, use the Backfill screen once to build historical reporting data.
The customer-facing dashboard can be added to a WordPress page from the plugin setup flow or by using the dashboard shortcode.
How It Works
VerdantCart Carbon Reports estimates emissions using internal calculation rules applied to WooCommerce order data.
Reporting data is stored inside your WordPress installation and organized into aggregated snapshots used by dashboards, comparisons, insights, hotspots, and exports.
The plugin uses snapshot-based reporting so historical reporting periods remain stable instead of being recalculated during normal dashboard page loads.
Data & Privacy
All core calculations are performed locally in your WordPress installation.
The plugin does not require sending WooCommerce order data to an external service for its core reporting features.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.4 or higher
- PHP 8.0 or higher
- WooCommerce 8.0 or higher
