What Velo does
on Shopware.

Add the tag to your storefront's base template and recompile the theme, or skip theme work entirely and install through Google Tag Manager. Either way, the consent defaults are set before your other scripts run.

Region rules and recordsChoose how the banner behaves by visitor location: opt in consent for the EU and UK, opt out where US state laws call for it. Accept and Reject carry equal weight, choices are per category, and every choice is saved to your consent records.
Google Consent Mode v2Velo sets the Consent Mode defaults before your other tags run, when the snippet sits above them or the tag fires on Consent Initialization. Google tags then adjust to each visitor's choice. Google may model some conversions when its eligibility and traffic conditions are met. Modelling is not guaranteed.
Made for ShopwareIt touches only your storefront template. One script of at most 30KB that does not block the page from rendering, with no app to install and no plugin to keep updated.

    Denied by default, banner up

    Velo sets the Google Consent Mode v2 defaults before your other tags run, denied where your region settings ask for opt in, then shows the banner. Google tags adjust to the choice and tags you gate on Velo's consent event wait for it. Every choice is saved to your consent records.

    Verify, then publish

    Check that the consent signals change in Tag Assistant when you accept and when you reject, then publish. Run the same check again whenever you change your tags or banner settings.

Shopware questions,
answered.

What teams putting a banner on Shopware ask first.

Does Velo fit German market GDPR practice?

Velo covers the common banner requirements: Reject as easy as Accept, per category choices, consent defaults set before your tags, and a record of every choice. Tags outside Consent Mode need gating too. Whether the store complies depends on the whole setup, so review it with your data protection adviser.

Theme template or Google Tag Manager: which install?

If the store already runs Google Tag Manager, use the Velo CMP template: no theme changes, no recompile, and the whole measurement stack stays reviewable in one place. The template edit is there for stores that keep everything server rendered.

What does Consent Mode v2 do on a strict setup?

Google tags adjust to each choice. In advanced mode, declined visitors can still send cookieless pings, and ads_data_redaction removes ad click identifiers from those requests for the strictest EU setups. Google may model some conversions when its eligibility and traffic conditions are met, with no guarantee.

Will the banner slow the storefront down?

The script stays at or under 30KB and does not block rendering. Shopware's caching keeps doing its job; the banner arrives after the page paints.
