Automated Shopping Extension
The browser extension activates on supported partner sites, applies eligible coupons, and routes qualifying purchase commissions through the platform's sustainability-focused shopping model.
Greentech, Carbon Offset & Sustainable Commerce Platform
A carbon offset platform that connects everyday online shopping with environmental action, combining affiliate-commerce infrastructure, browser extensions, emission calculators, partner integrations, payments, white-label capabilities, APIs, and scalable cloud services.
Project Overview
The solution is a sustainable ecommerce platform designed to redirect a portion of shopping commissions toward verified environmental projects. The ecosystem connects more than 25,000 shopping partners through a website, browser extension, APIs, partner tools, and administrative applications. Users can activate shopping commissions, apply available coupons, review environmental information, and calculate emissions associated with flights or vehicles. Behind the experience, caching, cloud APIs, payment services, authentication, white-label libraries, and partner-management tools support high-volume affiliate operations.
Challenges
Operating a commission-driven platform across tens of thousands of online retailers introduced substantial scalability and integration challenges.
Large Partner Dataset
The Store experience needed to retrieve and render information from more than 25,000 shopping partners without excessive database traffic or unacceptable interface performance.
Browser Extension Reliability
Web and Chrome extension components had to remain synchronized so affiliate activity could activate correctly when users moved from the platform into participating shopping sites.
Payment and Interface Stability
Stripe functionality conflicted with a third-party infinite-scroll library, creating risks around transaction flows and interface reliability during important user interactions.
White-Label Scalability
Growing B2B requirements demanded reusable configuration capabilities that could generate partner-specific experiences without rebuilding separate application foundations.
Solution — Scalable Greentech Commerce and Affiliate Infrastructure
Ditstek supported green digital transformation through caching, cloud APIs, frontend modernization, custom routing, transaction-focused styling, reusable npm packages, and configurable white-label architecture for sustainability-focused digital commerce.
High-Performance Caching
Background jobs generate reusable cache data while Redis and Lua scripts reduce repeated database requests across the platform's extensive catalogue of shopping partners.
Azure API Distribution
Selected API functions were deployed through Microsoft Azure infrastructure to provide faster distributed access and reduce repeated load on core application resources.
Frontend Modernization
Angular was upgraded from version 5 to version 8 while the interface was divided into smaller reusable components, improving maintainability and extension compatibility.
Custom Routing Architecture
Purpose-built routing prevents unnecessary component reinitialization during navigation, helping maintain stable communication between the website and associated browser-extension experience.
Transaction-Focused Interface
Custom SCSS and flex-based layouts replaced heavier styling approaches where necessary, resolving conflicts between Stripe payment functionality and third-party infinite-scroll behavior.
White-Label Infrastructure
Custom npm packages provide reusable partner libraries and dynamic configuration, supporting white label platform consulting requirements across multiple B2B deployments.
Features — Commerce, Sustainability, and Partner Operations
The solution combines shopping activation, environmental calculators, APIs, authentication, payments, partner portals, integrations, and affiliate commission tracking workflows to connect digital commerce activity with environmental initiatives.
Administrative Portal
User, program, transaction, and ambassador-management modules give internal teams centralized visibility into important operational activities across the platform.
Flight Emissions Calculator
Users select departure and destination airports from structured data so the application can estimate carbon emissions associated with a flight.
Vehicle Emissions Calculator
Users enter mileage, vehicle year, manufacturer, and model to estimate driving emissions using information bound from the platform's structured vehicle dataset.
Multi-Purpose API Layer
ASP.NET Core APIs serve the website, browser extension, and background jobs from a common backend foundation supporting multiple application experiences.
White-Label Libraries
Reusable web, extension, search, custom-content, and widget libraries allow partner-specific experiences to be configured without rebuilding the complete platform.
Intelligence and Content Integrations
Alexa Ranker, DropInBlog, and social integrations add site intelligence, related websites, platform news, blogs, and social content to relevant user experiences.
Secure Payments and Authentication
Amazon Cognito manages authentication while Stripe supports payment workflows, SendGrid delivers email communications, and Zoom APIs support webinar-registration functionality.
Automated Partner Operations
A dedicated partner environment and affiliate automation tools streamline interactions with the platform's extensive network of retail partners.
