Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureConsent Guard adds a cookie-consent banner to your storefront, no code. The app opens the theme editor with the banner on; press Save and visitors get a choice: accept all or essential only. Every text, color and position is editable, in any language. Choices go through Shopify's Customer Privacy API, so consent-aware pixels respect them; a first-party cookie remembers the choice.
CookieConsentHQ adds a cookie consent banner to your online store through an app embed, with no code to edit. Known trackers stay blocked until a visitor accepts, and each choice is passed to Shopify's Customer Privacy API, so Shopify's own analytics and marketing respect it.

- Choices stored via Shopify's Customer Privacy API, respected by pixels
- Tracker scanner shows which trackers run on your storefront
- Blocks known trackers until visitors accept, then loads them
- Passes each visitor's choice to Shopify's Customer Privacy API
- Sends Google Consent Mode v2 signals and honours Global Privacy Control
