GoodAPI: Plant Trees, Clean Seas (formerly Sprout) is a sustainability-focused Shopify app developed by GoodAPI. It helps merchants like you engage eco-conscious customers by planting trees for every product sold, order completed, or customer action taken.
When integrated with Growave, you can:
Automate sustainability actions (e.g., plant a tree when a customer leaves a review).
Offer sustainability as redeemable rewards inside your loyalty program.
What you need to get started
Before setting up the integration, make sure the following apps are installed:
How GoodAPI works
GoodAPI enables you to support environmental causes by automatically planting trees or removing ocean-bound plastic based on your store’s activity.
Within the GoodAPI dashboard, you can configure:
Environmental impact category
Choose between:
Tree planting (USD 0.43/tree)
Ocean-bound plastic removal (USD 0.05/bottle)
When to make an impact
For every product sold
For every order
As a fixed monthly impact, regardless of sales volume
Or pause impact tracking at any time
Monthly spend limit
Define a cap in USD to control your impact contribution. Once the limit is reached, contributions pause until the next billing cycle.
Option 1. Automate actions with Shopify Flow
You can automate impact by triggering a tree planting action every time a customer leaves a review via Growave.
Step 1. Open Shopify Flow and create a new workflow
Step 2. Set the trigger to: Someone left a review! (from Growave)
Step 3. Add an action and choose the GoodAPI app
Step 4. Select the Plant trees action and specify how many trees to plant each time a review is submitted.
Step 5. Save and enable the workflow

Your integration is now live. Every time a customer leaves a review, a tree will be planted, helping you grow loyalty while contributing to a better planet.
Option 2. Add a redeemable sustainability reward
Instead of automatic impact, you can let customers redeem points for eco actions.
Step 1. Create a sustainability product in Shopify
In your Shopify admin, go to Products → Add product.
Create a new product (example: Plant 10 Trees).
Add a clear description and images.
Set the price according to the impact you want to offer:
Trees: $0.43 per tree → 10 trees = $4.30
Plastic: $0.05 per bottle → 10 bottles = $0.50
Configure the product:
Remove shipping and tax.
Mark as a digital product.
Do not track inventory.
Add a GoodAPI tracking tag to enable fulfillment:
For trees:
goodapi-10-treesFor plastic:
goodapi-10-plastics
Step 2. Add the sustainability product as a reward in Growave
In your Growave admin, go to Rewards → Points → Ways to redeem → Free product (available starting from the Growave's Entry plan).
Configure the reward:
Name: Plant 10 Trees (or similar).
Points: Assign a value that matches your program.
Product: Select the sustainability product you just created.
Discount value: Set to 100% (customers redeem the product fully with points).
Save your changes.
Customer experience & Sustainability Hub
Customers who redeem or trigger eco actions will see:
Tree planting or plastic removal impact added to your store’s total.
Updates inside the GoodAPI Sustainability Hub, where they can track their personal and collective impact.
This helps strengthen emotional connection and brand loyalty.
