Green Claims Check

Detect first, then rewrite.

Detection is rule-based and auditable. Only the second step writes text, and every suggestion is re-checked against the same rules before you see it.

01

Read the catalogue

Titles, descriptions and tags are read through the official Shopify API. The app requests read access only and cannot alter your catalogue.

02

Grade every finding

Each finding carries a severity, the affected product, the exact phrase, and the legal basis, down to the ruling it rests on.

03

Get replacement wording

Every flagged phrase gets compliant wording. Where a claim cannot be saved, the app says so and proposes deletion instead.

04

Supply the evidence

Where proof is missing the app asks you for it rather than inventing it. Certifications are never fabricated, which would raise your exposure rather than lower it.

Three violations in one sentence.

A sentence that recurs almost verbatim across German stores, and what the audit returns for it.

Before

„Unsere klimaneutrale Verpackung ist nachhaltig und umweltfreundlich produziert.“

klimaneutral — an offsetting claim, prohibited without exception.
nachhaltig — a generic sustainability claim with nothing to substantiate it.
umweltfreundlich — general environmental advertising with no demonstrated performance.

Graded: 1 critical, 2 high
After

Satz streichen.

Alle drei Aussagen sind unzulässig, es bleibt nichts Verwertbares übrig. Die App fragt stattdessen nach konkreten, belegbaren Angaben zur Verpackung — etwa Materialanteil, Recyclingfähigkeit oder ein anerkanntes Zertifikat.

No invented evidence
