Estimate WooCommerce order emissions and review carbon reporting with dashboards, trends, exports, and product insights.

== Description ==

Amator Carbon Reports helps WooCommerce stores estimate carbon emissions from orders and review reporting data over time.

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

Amator Carbon Reports is useful for:

* WooCommerce stores that want visibility into estimated order emissions

Amator Carbon Reports estimates emissions using internal calculation rules applied to WooCommerce order data.
