See every featureConsentDock helps merchants collect required acknowledgements for disclosure-sensitive products and orders. Create rules for products, tags, countries, cart values, and buyer inputs. Publish rules to storefront and checkout surfaces, block checkout when a required response is missing, and retain a revision-bound evidence snapshot with each completed order.

Create targeted product and cart warnings, require acknowledgments, enforce checkout validation, review consent evidence, and monitor metafield sync health.
