You run sites on multiple platforms.
WordPress, Shopify, Wix, custom Next.js, etc. CookieYes manages them from one dashboard. ClearConsent is Shopify-only by design and won't help on non-Shopify properties.
Comparison
One platform.
Done well.
CookieYes is a capable platform-agnostic consent management platform — it works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, custom sites, anywhere you can paste a script tag. ClearConsent is the opposite trade-off: Shopify-only, theme app extension install, multi-law scoring as the lead, $9/mo flat. Here's when each one fits.
CookieYes is the right answer if you have many sites on many platforms. ClearConsent is the right answer if you have one Shopify store and want a Shopify-native compliance workflow.

The matrix shows two different categories more than a feature gap. Pick by stack: one Shopify store or many sites across platforms.
01 / Platform
One platform covered well.
CookieYes' bet is breadth: support every CMS, work via script tag anywhere, abstract over platform differences. That's a real product strategy with real customers — if your store is one of fifteen properties on different platforms, CookieYes manages all of them from a single dashboard.
ClearConsent's bet is depth on Shopify alone. Theme app extension install (Shopify's required modern path), Shopify Billing native, Shopify Customer Privacy API integration, Shopify-store-locale-aware multi-language detection, Shopify Page hosting for the privacy policy. We can build features that assume Shopify because we never need to support anything else.
CookieYes
Multi-platform. Single dashboard for sites on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, custom. Script-tag deployable anywhere. IAB TCF v2.2 certified.
ClearConsent
Shopify-native. Theme app extension install. Shopify Billing. Customer Privacy API integration. Multi-law scoring purpose-built for Shopify merchants.
02 / Install
Theme app extension is Shopify's modern app-embed path.
Theme app extensions are Shopify's modern, policy-aligned path for apps that add storefront functionality. Older apps got grandfathered with script-tag-based installs; new apps build on theme app extensions. ClearConsent is built around Shopify's modern app embed flow from day one — the install is one toggle in your Theme Editor, no theme code modification, no script tag in your theme files.
CookieYes supports multiple install paths because it has to work outside Shopify too. On Shopify, that broader compatibility model can feel less Shopify-native than a purpose-built app embed workflow.
Install from App Store
One-click install. ClearConsent runs an automatic scan and proposes a banner the moment install completes.
Toggle theme embed
One Theme Editor toggle. No code, no theme injection, no script tag. Survives theme switches without editing theme code.
Done (seriously)
Banner is live, scanner runs, score is in the dashboard. Total in-app time: typically under a minute in the wizard plus the Theme Editor toggle.
03 / Honesty
When CookieYes is the better choice.
Three cases where CookieYes is the right answer:
You need IAB TCF v2.2 for ad-tech.
CookieYes is IAB-registered. ClearConsent's audience is Shopify SMB where IAB TCF is overkill, so we don't carry the certification.
You need enterprise-tier features.
High page-view volume, audit logs at scale, custom branding controls, SSO for team admins. CookieYes' upper tiers are built for that.
For Shopify merchants without those specific needs — one Shopify store, no IAB TCF requirement, normal SMB volume — ClearConsent is purpose-built where CookieYes is general-purpose.
Migration
Switching from CookieYes?
Carries over
Banner copy, policy content, locale settings, and most tracker-blocking config can usually be recreated inside ClearConsent. Shopify Customer Privacy API syncs consent state automatically.
Doesn't carry
IAB TCF integration and your CookieYes dashboard for non-Shopify sites. ClearConsent only manages the Shopify store; keep CookieYes for other properties.
Time to switch
Typically under an hour for the Shopify cutover: install from Shopify, run a scan, verify the score, transfer banner copy, toggle the theme app embed.
Try the diagnostic
Run the scan. See your score.
Free on the home page. No sign-up. Real-browser audit against the privacy laws that may apply to your traffic. The score helps reveal your Shopify compliance gaps — and if you need IAB TCF or multi-platform support, CookieYes may still be the better fit.
