Your shop promises “we plant trees” – this plugin turns that into a verifiable statement: real trees on a named reforestation site on the Swabian Alb in Germany, a publicly verifiable certificate with the coordinates of the site and a public company-forest page where any customer can see what actually grew out of their order.
The plugin and its admin interface are written in German, as the Staufenwald planting program is aimed at shops in the German-speaking market.
Who publishes this — Staufenwald and AOS Digital are two brands of the same business: a German sole proprietorship owned by Hans-Jörg Andonovic-Wagner, Fleischerstraße 30, 73054 Eislingen, VAT ID DE211525220. The imprints of staufenwald.de and aos-digital.de show the identical owner, address, phone number and VAT ID. Staufenwald is the reforestation program; AOS Digital is the software side of the same business, which is why this plugin is published from that account. It is not affiliated with WooCommerce or Automattic.
How it works
- 01Set your rule, for example “one tree per €20 of order value” – with an optional minimum cart value, a per-order cap and an optional monthly budget.
- 02On every completed payment the plugin reports the order number and amount to staufenwald.de; the trees are calculated and collected server-side. Refunds are deducted, partial refunds individually.
- 03Once a month you receive a statement over the total at the volume price of that month. After payment the trees are planted and grow in your company forest, with a certificate that names the site and its coordinates.
What your shop gets
- A badge/block “This shop has planted 132 real trees” linking to your public company forest.
- A note on the thank-you page and in the order confirmation email (“This order will grow approximately 3 trees …”).
- A marketing claim that holds up: concrete, true, verifiable – instead of generic carbon-neutral claims, which the EU Empowering Consumers Directive bans from 27 September 2026 when based on offsetting.
Privacy first
- Only the order number, amount, currency and timestamp are transmitted. No names, no addresses, no email addresses – the endpoint actively rejects unknown fields.
