VerdantCart Carbon Reports

توضیحات

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
  • Review store-level reporting data
  • Review customer-level reporting data
  • Compare reporting periods
  • Identify higher-impact products with hotspot reporting
  • Use snapshot-based reporting for stable results
  • Export reports as CSV or PDF
  • View sustainability insights
  • Run backfill for historical WooCommerce orders

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

گزارش تغییرات

1.2.5

  • Hotfix: Resolved a fatal error (“Undefined constant META_MANAGED_PAGE”) that could occur on the WordPress admin Pages list when running PHP 8.0+. The legacy backwards-compatibility constant is now correctly declared in the plugin-pages helper class. Affected users: anyone running PHP 8.0 or higher who opened wp-admin Pages with plugin-managed pages present. The bug existed in prior versions but was silent on older PHP — PHP 8.x promotes the warning to a fatal.
  • Hotfix: Prevented duplicate insertion of the [vcarb_dashboard] shortcode on the auto-provisioned dashboard page during plugin reactivation, network re-activation, or WordPress update cycles. The duplicate-detection logic now uses literal string detection instead of has_shortcode(), which was unreliable during activation because the shortcode handler is not yet registered at that point in the bootstrap.
  • No changes to reporting, calculations, dashboards, exports, or the v1.4.1 launch notice. Existing pages with duplicate shortcodes need to be cleaned up manually (remove the extra [vcarb_dashboard] line in the page editor) — the hotfix prevents future duplication.

1.2.4

  • New: In-plugin launch announcement for VerdantCart AI Pro v1.4.1 — appears at the top of wp-admin until 2026-07-04, dismissible per user, with one-click access to VerdantCart AI Pro information and the latest Scope 3 emissions guide.
  • Hidden automatically for users who already have Pro active (via Freemius detection), so existing Pro customers see no noise.
  • No changes to core reporting features — all dashboards, exports, snapshots, and insights continue to work exactly as in v1.2.3.

1.2.3

  • Corrected Pro pricing display in admin upsell cards: now correctly shows $19/month and $179/year (Save 21% — over 2 months free).
  • Added support contact: support@verdantcart.ai is now displayed in all upgrade prompts so users can reach the team directly.
  • Improved Pro upgrade CTAs across admin: emphasized the 14-day free trial (no credit card required) instead of generic “Upgrade to Pro” buttons.
  • Added subtle Pro discovery hint at the top of free plugin admin pages — informational, brand-colored, with one-click dismiss (auto-reappears after 30 days).
  • Side-by-side layout on the Advanced sub-menu: “Included in Pro” and “License Management” cards now sit next to each other on wide screens, reducing scroll.
  • Refined upsell messaging to clarify trial benefits and reduce friction at the moment of decision.
  • No functional changes to core carbon reporting features — all reports, exports, and analytics work as before.

1.2.2

  • Enhanced VerdantCart AI Pro experience and upgrade workflow.
  • Added detailed feature descriptions and a Free vs Pro comparison table.
  • Improved license management interface and validation experience.
  • Added direct links to product, pricing, documentation, and upgrade resources.
  • Updated plugin branding, author information, and website references to VerdantCart AI.
  • Improved branding consistency throughout plugin metadata and admin screens.
  • Removed legacy references and completed internal codebase cleanup.
  • Improved Advanced Reporting admin page layout and usability.
  • Enhanced overall admin UI consistency and maintainability.
  • General stability, performance, and code quality improvements.

1.2.1

  • Fixed: undefined method VCARB_Export_Audit::table() causing a fatal error on CSV and PDF export requests.
  • Fixed: trend label “X%lower” / “X%higher” missing a space between the value and the word in CSV exports and PDF exports. Now correctly renders “X% lower” / “X% higher”.
  • Added: 11 new apply_filters() extension points so an external plugin can inject business name, logo URL, brand color, footer note, disclaimer, and per-format export metadata into the Sustainability Summary, PDF report view, and CSV exports without forking.
  • Added: optional Pro-rendered brand block (logo + business name + brand color divider) above the Sustainability Summary header when a consumer of verdantcart_report_logo_url / verdantcart_report_business_name is registered. The page renders unchanged when no consumer is present.
  • Improved: removed all remaining legacy AmatorCarbon/amatorcarbon_* references (admin slugs, helper aliases, filter dispatches, AJAX actions, meta key fallbacks, option fallbacks, uninstall cleanup). Internal prefix is now uniformly vcarb/VCARB_.
  • Improved: simplified verify_insights_nonce to a single-action check now that the legacy nonce alias is no longer needed.

1.2.0

  • Improved Plugin Check compatibility.
  • Updated stable tag alignment with the main plugin version.
  • Removed discouraged manual translation loading for WordPress.org compatibility.
  • Improved VerdantCart namespace consistency.
  • Improved dashboard, admin report, export, and backfill compatibility.
