THE CHALLENGE

Creating Structure for Complex Carbon Transactions

EcoRegistry needed a payment solution for multiple carbon credit transaction types—registration, certification, transfer, and more. Their team also lacked tools for commercial oversight and reporting. Manual workflows were slowing them down, especially when managing receipts and transaction visibility.

INITIAL STATE

OUR SOLUTION

A Stripe-Integrated Platform for Scalable Carbon Management

Requirements

Centralizing Carbon Payments

We scoped and defined a payment engine capable of handling certification, registration, maintenance, and retirement fees—along with user registration, transaction logging, and reporting capabilities.

Application

Built Fast with TypeScript + NextJS

Using TypeScript, NextJS, and Stripe, we delivered secure payment flows, generated receipts, and added idempotent transactions for reliability. We also developed a Shopify plugin for carbon offsetting at checkout.

Prototype

Functional Delivery in Eight Weeks

We completed 61 user stories and delivered on time with 98% of features accepted bug-free. Key modules—including payment, receipts, and reports—launched at 100% scope completion.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

A Seamless Launch for a Mission-Driven Platform

EcoRegistry's Product Owner approved the final product with satisfaction. Our team—led by Ana Vásquez with support from developers and designers—called it a “learning and fulfilling project.” Together, we automated core operations so EcoRegistry could focus on protecting the planet.

let me know if i can support, but i have no skin in the game.
also, if you were to bless it, i could post it (so that it's not coming from you guys) and just say something like
"These are people that I've worked with for 5 years and have become good friends with. They are doing this radical thing and it seemed like the kind of thing that could help this community. I asked Michael to bless me posting this, but this is unrelated to Establish.
I am also happy to hop on a call or slack with anyone who might be interested but looking for references or even just guidance on app development side."
but also you can just say "naw, it muddies the waters" and I'll shut up 😛
I may just have him do a talk for everyone
Sounds really great
oh that would be really cool
He has a great deck about how it's better to go to the grocery store and buy buns and tomatoes and lettuce to make burgers, and focus your energy on the "secret sauce" - where most startups spend all their time becoming tomato farmers.
