Corso

Ecosystem

Green commerce platform that turns shipping protection and returns into sustainability touchpoints, routing returned items to resale, donation, or recycling instead of landfill.

Corso is a platform that adds a sustainability layer to e-commerce shipping and returns. Merchants offer Corso's green shipping protection at checkout, which covers lost, stolen, or damaged packages and funds carbon offsets. On the returns side, Corso routes eligible returned items to resale, donation, or recycling channels rather than returning them to the merchant's warehouse or sending them to landfill.

The positioning is sustainability-first: brands using Corso can claim that their returns program is carbon-neutral or carbon-negative. Items that cannot be restocked profitably are matched with resale marketplaces, partner nonprofits, or certified recyclers based on product category and condition. Corso handles the logistics and reporting so merchants can communicate sustainability metrics to their customers.

For AI agents operating post-purchase flows, Corso is relevant when the agent needs to offer a disposition option beyond the standard return. An agent initiating a return can query Corso for alternative disposition options: sell on ThredUp, donate to a partner charity, or recycle through a certified e-waste or textile program. For shoppers who have indicated sustainability preferences, the agent can surface these options first before offering a traditional return.

Why This Matters for UCP

Corso adds a green commerce layer to agent-initiated returns, enabling agents to surface resale, donation, and recycling options for returned items from UCP orders before defaulting to a standard warehouse return.

Integration Example

// Corso: check green disposition options for a return item

const CORSO_API = 'https://api.corso.com/v1';

// Get sustainable disposition options for a returned item
const dispositions = await fetch(`${CORSO_API}/disposition/options`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CORSO_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    merchant_id: process.env.CORSO_MERCHANT_ID,
    ucp_order_id: ucpOrderId,
    item: { sku: 'DENIM-JACKET-M', category: 'apparel', condition: 'good' },
    shopper_postal_code: '94102',   // used to find local options
  }),
}).then(r => r.json());

// Example response includes ranked green options
for (const option of dispositions.options) {
  console.log(`${option.type}: ${option.label}${option.payout_or_credit}${option.co2_saved_kg}kg CO2 saved`);
  // e.g. "resale: List on ThredUp — $18 credit — 3.2kg CO2 saved"
  // e.g. "donate: Ship to Goodwill — $5 tax receipt — 2.8kg CO2 saved"
  // e.g. "recycle: Local textile recycler — free pickup — 1.4kg CO2 saved"
}

// Agent surfaces options to sustainability-minded shopper before standard return
