The Challenge

Summit Trail Co sells premium hiking and camping gear in a crowded market. Competing on price wasn't an option, and loyalty programs felt transactional. They needed a way to differentiate that resonated with their outdoor-enthusiast audience: people who already care about the places they explore.

The Solution

Summit Trail Co built tiered impact into their cart using GoodAPI's REST API. Orders over $75 plant a tree. Orders over $150 plant a tree and fund a square meter of kelp restoration in British Columbia. A progress bar in the cart shows customers how close they are to unlocking the next impact tier, giving them a reason to add one more item.

"Our customers explore wild places every weekend. Now every order helps protect them. The impact tiers were a game-changer for AOV."

Jake Morrison, Co-Founder, Summit Trail Co

The Results

An outdoor gear retailer tied impact tiers to cart value. Bigger orders fund bigger projects, and average order value climbed 18%.
