This guide shows you how to add the Kukie.io cookie consent banner to your Ecwid-powered online store. Since Ecwid embeds into an existing website, the installation method depends on where your store is hosted.
Prerequisite: You need a Kukie.io account and at least one site added. If you haven't done this yet, follow Create Your Account & Add Your First Site first.
Step 1: Get Your Embed Code
Log in to your Kukie.io dashboard, navigate to your site, and copy the embed code from the Setup tab. It looks like this:
<script src="https://cdn.kukie.io/s/YOUR-SITE-KEY/c.js" async></script>
Replace YOUR-SITE-KEY with the actual site key shown in your dashboard.
Step 2: Add the Script to Ecwid
Ecwid embeds into an existing website, so you need to add the Kukie.io script to the host page where your Ecwid store is embedded.
- Open the HTML source of the page where your Ecwid store widget is embedded
- Add the Kukie.io embed code inside the
<head>tag:<script src="https://cdn.kukie.io/s/YOUR-SITE-KEY/c.js" async></script> - Save and publish the page
Ecwid Instant Site: If you use Ecwid's Instant Site (standalone storefront), go to Ecwid Admin → Website → SEO and paste the script tag into the Header tracking codes field.
Ecwid on Wix/Squarespace/WordPress? If your Ecwid store is embedded in one of these platforms, follow the respective platform guide — Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress — to add the script site-wide.
Step 3: Verify the Installation
Visit your website in a new browser window (or incognito/private mode). You should see the Kukie.io consent banner appear. If it does not show, check the following:
- Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12) and look for the script in the Network tab — it should load with a
200status - Check the Console tab for any JavaScript errors
- Make sure you published/saved your changes in your Ecwid store
- Clear any platform-level cache if applicable
