Project Orders

Use Project Orders to fund a specific project directly by projectId, without portfolio allocation. This is useful when you want to support a single project or allocate a fixed dollar amount.

Overview

• Offsettable projects (cost_per_ton): Creates offset orders; response includes impact.tons
• Non-offsettable projects (e.g. policy, conservation): Creates project donations
• Tree-measured projects (cost_per_tree): Not supported — use /api/tree-orders instead

Tip: To find available project IDs, browse the Projects summary page for a human-readable list, or call GET /api/portfolios — each portfolio includes a projects array with project id values.

POST /api/project-orders

Authentication

Required. Use a team API token (recommended) or legacy personal API token via Basic auth or Bearer token. Account required for personal tokens. Test tokens (wren_test_…) return canned responses without side effects — see Test mode.
