What is OneSeed
OneSeed is a verified tree-planting platform that lets businesses embed real, GPS-tracked reforestation into any app, checkout, loyalty program, or employee engagement workflow. Unlike carbon offset platforms, every OneSeed tree is individually planted, photographed at planting, assigned GPS coordinates, and trackable by the recipient in real time. Trees start at $0.65 and are certified through TreeVerify, OneSeed's independent verification system. OneSeed is a UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration partner, with active planting projects in Tanzania, Kenya, the Philippines, Nepal, Bolivia, Honduras, Mexico, Thailand, and Madagascar.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my trees are real?
Every tree planted through OneSeed is TreeVerify® certified. This means each tree receives GPS coordinates, a photo at planting, and ongoing project updates. You and your customers can view the exact location and details of every tree in your Virtual Forest.
What are tree credits and how do they work?
When you create a free OneSeed business account, you receive 20 complimentary tree credits. One credit equals $1 USD and can be applied toward any tree in our planting network. Because tree prices vary by location, your 20 free credits are enough to plant between 5 and 30 trees depending on location. There's no credit card required to get started.
What is the tree planting pricing?
Trees start at $0.65 USD and vary by planting location. Tanzania is our most affordable option at $0.65/tree, while Bolivia trees cost $3.50/tree. There are no subscriptions, setup fees, or hidden costs—you only pay for trees planted.
How quickly are trees planted after an API call?
When you trigger a tree sponsorship via our API, either a recently planted tree is pulled from our inventory or a 'seedling' is immediately reserved. If a seedling is reserved, the actual planting happens during the next optimal planting season across available locations. Your customer receives instant confirmation of their seedling, then a notification when their tree is physically planted.
What integrations and tech stacks do you support?
OneSeed works with any tech stack. We provide a REST API, JavaScript SDK, and ready-to-use components. We integrate with e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce), CRMs, marketing tools, and custom applications.
Can I use OneSeed for carbon offsetting?
While our trees do absorb carbon (approximately 48kg CO2 per tree per year on average), we focus on verified tree planting and community impact rather than carbon credit certification. Many businesses use OneSeed for sustainability initiatives alongside formal carbon offset programs.
What happens to the communities where trees are planted?
Our forest restoration projects create local jobs, provide food security through fruit-bearing trees, and help fight poverty. We partner with established planting organizations in 9 countries to ensure lasting community benefits alongside environmental impact.
Start with 20 credits. No credit card.
