Overview
Dataships sells software that collects direct marketing consent from shoppers at checkout, pop-ups, sign-up forms and confirmation pages, and applies consent rules for the shopper's region and channel. It keeps timestamped consent records and syncs marketable audiences to a brand's marketing platforms. It addresses opt-ins being collected in many places without consistent rules or records.

- Collects email, SMS and WhatsApp consent at checkout, thank-you pages and forms on a Shopify store.
- Applies consent rules by region and keeps timestamped audit records for each opt-in.
- Syncs consent status both ways with Shopify and marketing tools such as Klaviyo and Attentive.
How it works
