Why isn’t my sustainable purchase showing up as sustainable?

Arrow down whiteArrow down

We try to identify every sustainable purchase that we can, but sometimes our algorithm gets it wrong. If you believe you’ve made a purchase that should be counted as low-emissions by Commons, you can either recategorize the transaction or send us feedback about it. To edit a transaction, tap on any transaction from the Footprint tab to update the category. Our team will periodically review any edited purchases for accuracy.

Is it safe to connect Commons to my credit or debit card?

Arrow down whiteArrow down

We take data privacy and security very seriously. Commons uses best-in-class, bank-level security and does not save any sensitive information on our servers. Commons uses Plaid to connect to your card(s). Plaid is an API trusted by financial companies like Venmo, Mint, and Paypal for its high security and banking support. When you connect your card(s) to Commons using Plaid, we cannot (and will not) charge your account, withdraw money, or create a transaction on the account in any way. We never sell your data. Read more in our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

Why do I have to connect my card?

Arrow down whiteArrow down

Everything we buy requires energy and resources to produce, and our spending is one of the most accurate indicators of our emissions. When you connect a card, you’ll get the real-time footprint of your purchases and start earning for climate-friendly purchases. For the most accurate footprint and the most opportunities to earn, connect all the credit or debit cards you spend money on. There is no fee for connecting cards.

What counts as a sustainable purchase?

You’ll see sustainable purchases highlighted in blue on your Footprint tab.
