CONSENTBIT VS. PANDECTES

One Consent Tool for Every Platform in Your Portfolio.

Pandectes is a purpose-built Shopify consent app with strong reviews and a deep Shopify feature set. It works on Shopify. Only Shopify. The moment a client site runs on Webflow, Framer, WordPress, or a custom stack, Pandectes cannot help.

ConsentBit installs natively in Webflow and Framer, runs on Shopify via script, and covers every platform you manage from one account and one dashboard.

WHY BUILDERS SWITCH

Pandectes is a Shopify tool. Your portfolio is not Shopify-only.

Pandectes is genuinely well-built. 185,000 store installs. 3,000 five-star reviews. A feature set that goes deeper into Shopify-specific compliance than most tools on the market. If your portfolio is exclusively Shopify stores, it is worth a serious look.

The problem surfaces the moment it does not apply. A new client running a Webflow site. An existing client migrating their marketing pages to Framer. A rebrand where the client lands on a custom stack the developer already owned. Pandectes is not in the Webflow Marketplace. It is not in the Framer plugin directory. It does not install via script on non-Shopify platforms. There is no version of Pandectes that works outside of Shopify.

That is a clean boundary. Portfolios rarely are.

01

Pandectes is Shopify-only. No Webflow, no Framer, no WordPress, no custom-built sites.

02

One non-Shopify client means a second consent tool, a second account, and a second billing line.

03

IAB TCF is available on the Enterprise plan only ($490/year per store). Standard and mid-tier plans do not include it.

04

Auto-blocking requires the Premium plan ($290/year). The Plus plan ($90/year) does not include it.

HOW CONSENTBIT FITS THE WORKFLOW

Four things that matter when your portfolio grows past Shopify.

Illustration: a builder styling a consent banner to match the site

Your Shopify clients and your Webflow clients. One tool.

ConsentBit installs natively in the Webflow Designer and natively in Framer. It runs on Shopify via a script tag. WordPress, custom-built, headless, whatever the next client brings, one account, one dashboard, one pricing line. Pandectes works on Shopify. ConsentBit works on everything. One tool. Every platform you add.

Illustration: a builder wiring up a consent flow inside the design canvas

Google-Certified. IAB TCF on the Essential plan, not the top tier.

ConsentBit is listed on Google’s official CMP Partner Program. IAB TCF v2.2 is available on the Essential plan ($20/month). On Pandectes, IAB TCF requires the Enterprise plan ($490/year per store). If a Shopify client needs TCF today, that is the number.

Flat per-site pricing. No per-store Shopify math.

ConsentBit is $9 per site per month regardless of platform. The same price for a Webflow site, a Framer site, and a Shopify store. Pandectes charges per store separately, which is fine if all your sites are Shopify. When the portfolio mixes platforms, the billing lines multiply.

Illustration: one dashboard managing consent across several client sites

Inside the canvas, not beside it.

On Webflow and Framer, ConsentBit installs natively inside your design canvas. Configure the banner where you built the site. Preview it before anything goes live. Consent that feels like the site, not like a third-party overlay from a different design era.

AT A GLANCE

Both tools handle cookie consent. Here is where the platform boundary matters.

Pandectes is a cookie consent and compliance app built exclusively for Shopify, with 185,000+ installs and a feature set that covers consent, tracking, DSAR, and accessibility for Shopify stores. ConsentBit is built for builders: native Webflow and Framer, works on Shopify via script, and covers any platform you add to your portfolio.

WHERE THE DIFFERENCE ACTUALLY MATTERS
01. Platform Coverage

Shopify-Native Means Shopify-Only

The ceiling appears when the portfolio steps outside Shopify. There is no Pandectes for Webflow. There is no Pandectes for Framer. There is no script-tag install for a headless frontend or a custom-built site. One non-Shopify client means a separate consent tool, separate setup, separate dashboard, and a second billing line per site.

ConsentBit

ConsentBit installs natively inside the Webflow Designer and natively in Framer. For Shopify, WordPress, and any other platform, a single script tag covers it from the same account. The canvas you work in changes. The consent tool does not.

Pandectes

Pandectes is a Shopify app. It lives in the Shopify App Store, installs through the Shopify admin, and is built around Shopify’s Customer Privacy API. For Shopify merchants, that tight integration is a genuine advantage. Pandectes understands the Shopify environment in ways a generic script cannot.

02. IAB TCF and Google Certification

Available Now, Not Gated Behind the Top Tier

For clients running Google Ads in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, two things matter: Google CMP Partner certification and IAB TCF support.

Both tools support Google Consent Mode. Google-Certified CMP status for Pandectes should be confirmed directly before relying on it for EU ad compliance.

ConsentBit

On ConsentBit, both are available at the Essential plan level ($20/month). IAB TCF v2.2 is live and available today.

Pandectes

On Pandectes, IAB TCF v2.4 is included on the Enterprise plan ($490/year per store). The Plus plan ($90/year) and Premium plan ($290/year) do not include it. If a Shopify client needs TCF compliance today, the plan that includes it is Enterprise.

03. Auto-blocking

All Plans on ConsentBit, Premium-Only on Pandectes

Auto-blocking holds third-party trackers until a visitor gives consent. It is one of the core mechanisms for GDPR compliance under the ePrivacy Directive.

ConsentBit

On ConsentBit, auto script blocking is included on every plan, including the free plan.

Pandectes

On Pandectes, auto-blocking requires the Premium plan ($290/year per store). The free Basic plan and the Plus plan ($90/year) do not include it. A store on the Plus plan is collecting consent but not blocking trackers until consent is given.

04. Pricing

Same Starting Price, Different Scope

The math changes in two situations. First, when auto-blocking or IAB TCF is needed, Pandectes jumps to $290/year or $490/year per store. Second, when the portfolio includes non-Shopify sites, each one requires a separate ConsentBit site at $8/month, but there is no second Pandectes available at any price. The comparison stops being apples-to-apples.

ConsentBit

ConsentBit is $9 per site per month across every platform you manage. No surprises at month end.

Pandectes

Pandectes Plus and ConsentBit land at a similar monthly price for a single store: $90/year versus $96/year billed annually. For a Shopify-only setup where Plus features are enough, Pandectes is comparable on price.

05. Workflow

One Portfolio, One Tool

For a builder managing a mixed portfolio, that focus creates a gap. Every non-Shopify site needs a different answer. Two dashboards, two setups, two billing lines, two tools to keep updated when regulations change.

ConsentBit

ConsentBit covers the whole portfolio. The regulation they need, covered from day one, on every platform they build on.

Pandectes

Pandectes is purpose-built for Shopify operators. The depth of Shopify-specific features (cookie scanner, DSAR handling, accessibility widget, and direct integration with Shopify’s Customer Privacy API) reflects years of building for one platform specifically.
For a Shopify-only business, that focus is a feature.

SWITCHING FEELS RISKY. IT SHOULDN'T.

Three steps. Your clients stay protected the whole way through.

The biggest reason people do not switch compliance tools is fear of a gap (a moment where the old tool is off and the new one is not running yet). ConsentBit removes that.

1

Install

Add ConsentBit via script tag on your Shopify store, or natively inside Webflow or Framer. Under five minutes per site.

2

Style and configure

Match the banner to your site. Set your regions. Preview before anything goes live.

3

Switch over

Your Pandectes banner keeps running until you are ready to remove it. There is no moment where your client’s store is uncovered.

ConsentBit starts fresh from your activation date. Your existing Pandectes consent records stay in Pandectes. There is no import path. New consent events are logged in ConsentBit from the moment it goes live.

FROM BUILDERS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE

You can read the feature list all day. Here is what builders say after they have actually used it.

Testimonials
“Easy to install, lightweight, and delivers a great UX for visitors.”

The installation Webflow was simple, lightweight and provides a great UX for our visitors. We'll be recommending to all of our clients.

Testimonials
“Clean UI, powerful customization, and seamless Webflow integration.”

ConsentBit is a wonderful solution with a clean UI for managing user consent with tracking scripts. I love that I can customize a ton of styling options to make the cookie consent banner look and feel part of my branded website. Publishing this solution to my site took me through an easy-to-navigate flow using their native Webflow app right in the Webflow canvas.

FAQ

Curiosity calling? Let's dive in.

Does ConsentBit work on Shopify?

Yes. ConsentBit installs on Shopify via a script tag. It does not install through the Shopify App Store the way Pandectes does, but it runs on any Shopify store with a script tag paste. It manages consent, blocks trackers, and logs consent records from the same dashboard you use for your Webflow and Framer sites.

Does Pandectes work on Webflow or Framer?

No. Pandectes is a Shopify app and works only on Shopify. There is no Webflow integration, no Framer integration, and no script-tag install for non-Shopify platforms.

Does Pandectes include auto-blocking?

Auto-blocking is available on Pandectes’ Premium plan ($290/year) and above. The free Basic plan and the Plus plan ($90/year) do not include auto-blocking. On ConsentBit, auto script blocking is included on every plan.

Does Pandectes include IAB TCF?

IAB TCF v2.4 is included on Pandectes’ Enterprise plan ($490/year per store). It is not available on Plus or Premium. On ConsentBit, IAB TCF v2.2 is available on the Essential plan ($20/month) and above.

Is ConsentBit a Google-Certified CMP?

Yes. ConsentBit is listed on Google’s official CMP Partner Program for consent collection in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland. Verify it directly at cmppartnerprogram.withgoogle.com.

Is Pandectes a Google-Certified CMP?

Pandectes supports Google Consent Mode. Whether it holds official Google CMP Partner Program certification should be confirmed directly before relying on it for EU ad compliance.

How does pricing compare for a mixed portfolio?

For a portfolio with both Shopify and non-Shopify sites: Pandectes covers only the Shopify stores. Each non-Shopify site requires a separate tool. ConsentBit covers every site on any platform at $9/site/month. For a Shopify-only portfolio, Pandectes Plus ($90/year) is slightly cheaper than ConsentBit ($96/year). For a mixed portfolio, the comparison changes: Pandectes cannot cover the non-Shopify sites at any price.

What happens to my existing consent logs when I switch?

ConsentBit starts fresh from your activation date. Your existing Pandectes consent records stay in Pandectes. There is no import path. New consent events are logged in ConsentBit from the moment it goes live. Returning visitors will see the banner once more, and all new activity is on record from day one.

Which tool is actually right for me?

Choose ConsentBit if you manage sites on multiple platforms (Webflow, Framer, Shopify, WordPress, custom) and want one tool, one dashboard, and one pricing line across all of them. Also if you need IAB TCF or auto-blocking without paying for the top tier.
Choose Pandectes if your portfolio is exclusively Shopify stores and you want the deepest Shopify-specific feature set available, including cookie scanning, DSAR handling, accessibility widget, and the Shopify Customer Privacy API integration.
Both handle cookie consent well. The honest question is whether your portfolio is Shopify-only, and whether it will stay that way.

Every platform you build on. One tool that covers them all.

Set up ConsentBit on any platform in under five minutes. Native Webflow and Framer, script tag on Shopify and everything else. Consent logs, full compliance, and Google certification on every plan, starting free.
