Give every variety a clear climate-fit verdict: will it grow, will it fruit, and when can it go in the ground. Help customers buy with confidence and catch bad-fit purchases before they become refunds.

SoilStack turns those questions into product-page answers before checkout, so shoppers buy with confidence before confusion becomes support questions, replacement claims, or bad reviews.
See the climate-fit toolsSoilStack checks the shopper's location against the variety's growing needs, then shows a clear climate-fit answer your product page can use.
Climate-fit verdictFor fruit trees and perennials, SoilStack checks whether the shopper's location gets enough winter chill, the part a hardiness map cannot answer.
Winter-chill verdictSoilStack uses local frost history to show a safer earliest planting date, instead of leaving shoppers with a generic regional guess.
Plant-after dateWhat it is
SoilStack turns each catalog variety and shopper location into guidance your product page can use before checkout: climate fit, fruiting outlook, planting timing, and a better-fit option when needed.
Your product page already knows the variety. SoilStack adds the shopper's location.
The shopper gets a clear next step before confusion becomes support questions, replacement claims, or bad reviews.
Winter chill
A tree can be hardy enough to sell into a region and still be the wrong fruiting fit there. SoilStack checks the shopper's location against the variety's chill needs, so your product page can show when a variety is a strong fit, borderline, or short on winter chill before checkout.
Frost windows
Customers often use hardiness zones like planting calendars, but a zone does not tell them when frost risk usually drops enough for outdoor planting. SoilStack turns local freeze history into product-page timing guidance, so your store can show a clearer plant-after date instead of leaving shoppers with broad regional advice.
Climate Fit
Climate Fit is designed to combine hardiness, winter chill, and frost timing into one product-page verdict for a variety at the shopper's location. When a variety is a poor fit, SoilStack can point the shopper toward a better-fit option from your catalog before a bad-fit order happens.

Partner setup Coming soon
SoilStack is designed to drop the climate layer into the store you already run, mapped to your catalog and styled to match.
Here is how a partnership comes together.
We map the climate layer to the plants you sell, by variety, SKU, or collection, so every product page knows exactly which crop it is talking about.
Show the guidance however fits your store: a compact badge, an inline panel under the product, or a paste-in widget you drop onto any page.
Colors, labels, and wording are tuned to your site, so the climate guidance reads like a native part of the page, not a bolted-on tool.
Begin with one high-risk category like fruit trees or bare-root stock, prove it out on real orders, then roll it across the rest of your catalog.
Complementary products
Climate Fit is the starting point. The same location-aware layer can extend into adjacent decisions your store and shoppers face, from pest risk to freeze monitoring to support-ready plant knowledge. These are on the roadmap, not live yet.
Why you can trust the numbers
You don't have to take our word for it. Every model is documented, and the sources are named, so you can check the work before you ever sign up.
Who we work with
SoilStack is built for plant sellers whose customers need location-specific growing answers before they buy. If shoppers ask whether a plant will grow, fruit, or handle their local season, this is the kind of catalog SoilStack is designed to support.
