Overview

Consentmo offers a consent management platform specifically built for Shopify. This allows users to install an app in Shopify that manages the complexities of GDPR and CCPA compliance. Consentmo is a popular consent platform because of its focus on Shopify vendors, and its easy installation process.

Getting Started with Consentmo + Elevar:

Before setting up Consentmo for your Shopify store, follow these steps:

• Install Consentmo App in your Shopify Store
• Ensure you have the Consentmo app installed from the Shopify App Store.
• Enable Consent Mode in Your Shopify Source. To enable Consent Mode, follow our guide on how to Enable Consent Mode in your Shopify Source.

Next Up: Assign Requirements for Client-Side and Server-Side Tracking

You've enabled consent and added the GTM containers. Now you need to make your client side tags and server-side tracking consent aware. Follow these guides to complete the setup.

• Customize Server-Side Destinations for Consent Mode
• Assign Consent Requirements for your Client-Side tags
• Update for Consent Mode v2 - Follow this guide

Bonus: Blocking Scripts Loaded Directly In Shopify (Not In Google Tag Manager)

You may have certain scripts on your site that load directly from your Shopify theme. For example, you may have Klaviyo app installed in Shopify. If this is the case you'll need to block this separately. Anything that does not load from GTM will need explicit blocking through . To accomplish this you'll need to write a regex for the urls these tags send information too, or contact directly to have them do this for you.
