Throne Scan is included with your verified HTT account. Free accounts include 5,000 new useful evidence-backed records over their lifetime. Empty captures, repeats and updates use no additional units. Active premium members have no successful-record allowance cap; technical and source limits still apply. Client installation and marketplace releases remain separate steps.

A Shopify sustainability widget shoppers can verify

Show the composition behind a product at the exact point a shopper decides. Throne Standard scans the catalogue, matches the selected SKU and puts verified fibre data beside the buy button.

Place independently verified composition evidence beside the buying decision, with the score and source controlled by Hold The Throne.

Every free and paid layout

Exactly what the customer sees

These are the current app formats and dimensions. The chip is the smallest option; the outline badge is 220px wide, the solid badge is 260px wide and the compact scorecard is 320 × 112px. The small chip or badge is the default purchase-page choice. Detailed comparisons stay inside a product-detail or fabric tab, so they never crowd Add to cart.

The verified result beside the buy button

The store keeps its design. The verified result is a compact, linked layer.

One result per line

Each cart line can show its own verified SKU result. A line we have not scanned renders nothing rather than a guess.

Your scan account

One sign-in activates the connection

Choose Connect Hold The Throne account inside the app. A short-lived signed website link opens for sign-in or free registration, while the app keeps the store identity private. After authentication the website activates the connection automatically, the app confirms it, and future catalogue scans save to Your scans.

Questions before installing

Shopify sustainability widget
Is this the best Shopify widget for increasing sales?

No widget can honestly guarantee that. Throne Standard is built to improve the buying decision with independently verified composition data. Stores can measure their own conversion impact after installation.

How does my Hold The Throne account activate?

Open the installed app and choose Connect Hold The Throne account. Sign in or register in the secure website tab. The connection activates automatically, the app confirms it and future scans save to Your scans.

Does every product receive a score?

No. Every discovered SKU is retained, but gift cards, unrelated product types and products without usable evidence are visibly filtered from the relevant score.

What counts as a Large Catalogue?

The included scanner uses the same account allowance for large and small catalogues. Technical limits can defer work. A partial result retains its exact coverage; only a reconciled census is complete, and draft publication gates still apply.

What happens if the brand was scanned recently?

The current usable approved result loads immediately. If no complete result exists, start a Community Scan. The previous successful result remains authoritative until a newer usable result is approved.

Current availability and evidence

The Shopify integration is being prepared for release. A public installation link is not yet available here.

Ask HTT about availability and the supported setup for your store. We will provide the confirmed installation route when it is ready.

Ask about availability

What useful product evidence should show

A result should identify the product or variant, show its material evidence and source, and explain when the information cannot support a score. A missing result must remain missing rather than become a favourable badge.

Understand the assessment

Material composition, catalogue coverage and a brand’s wider ethical performance answer different questions. Check which question a result can support.

Compare recorded evidence

Shopify uses the current approved Hold The Throne result

If a usable approved result already exists, use it instead of repeating scanner work. When an update is due, the scan system refreshes evidence according to the applicable plan. A partial assessment records its exact scope and evidence gaps. Missing products remain unknown.

One Throne Scan · category branches

Evidence first, with the category beside every result

Throne Scan captures the exact product, place or experience. Results show the category, source date, SKU or recorded identity, declarations or ingredients, price, evidence gaps and the assessment status. Missing values remain unknown.

Current default: 2.2.0-draft. Draft packs retain evidence while their reference, calibration, anchors or independent verification remain pending. A captured record is not automatically a published score.

Origin classes are plant, animal, mineral, regenerated, synthetic and unknown. Origin is a recorded fact or stated preference; it does not establish safety, health or overall sustainability. Mixed brands receive separate category results, with ethics and cocoa evidence kept as separate layers.

Each parent product contributes once. Sizes do not add votes. A partial assessment shows assessed and unresolved counts, disclosure rate and a possible range. A headline requires the policy’s coverage and publication checks; unresolved products are not scored as failures. Full means a reconciled census, rather than a crawl that happened to finish.

Included with HTT membership. A success unit is a new useful evidence-backed product, place or experience. Empty captures, failed requests, repeats, retries and enrichment of an existing identity do not consume another success unit. Price alone or a URL without useful evidence does not count as success.

Updated Chrome, Wix, Shopify, website, MIW and cloud clients use the shared scanner policy. Install the current client release to obtain the category interface; it checks subsequent policy updates automatically. Earlier records keep their original dates and versions until a verified reassessment is released.
