Consent management

Shopify Customer Privacy

By Shopify

Use the native privacy controls where the store and script stack are genuinely simple.

The verdict

Is Shopify Customer Privacy right for you?

Choose it if...

  • Simple stores using Shopify-native pixels
  • Limited-market consent requirements
  • Merchants minimising app costs

Look elsewhere if...

  • Complex regulatory footprints
  • Teams requiring consent logs, scanning and advanced customisation
StackFit’s view

Adding a CMP is not automatically safer; the native route can be enough when all tracking uses Shopify-compatible consent signals and the market footprint is limited.
