If your Shopify statistics suddenly no longer count all visitors because the consent banner does not communicate with Shopify...

Problem:

As long as the consent banner is built in via Shopify plugins, etc., Shopify itself is notified in most cases when a user accepts the consent.

However, if you implement the consent banner differently, Shopify "loses" this direct connection and integration with the consent banner. As a result, Shopify assumes that NO consent has been given — and is therefore only allowed to record its own statistics in a reduced manner. This is why you see a sudden loss of sales data in your Shopify statistics.

Solution:

In order to give Shopify a clear indication that the statistics in your Shopify dashboard may continue to be displayed, you need to add the following code under "Custom Scripts" in the Shoplytics admin area.

window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.setTrackingConsent( { analytics: true, marketing: true, preferences: true, sale_of_data: true }, function() { console.log( Shopify 'injecting consent.'); } );

However, make sure that this command is only actually executed when your visitors' consent is given: To do this, activate the option: "Comply with GDPR and only trigger when consent exists"

With the following command you can (e.g. enter in the browser console) find out whether the consent has been changed accordingly:

window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.currentVisitorConsent();
