Klaviyo records who is subscribed, when consent fields changed, and enforces double opt-in by default. What it stores are profile properties: editable by APIs, imports, and integrations, with no archive of the form language shown and no session-level record of the act. This comparison maps where Klaviyo's consent model ends and where an evidence layer begins — most stores run both.

Frequently asked questions
Doesn't Klaviyo already track SMS consent?+
Yes — as profile properties with timestamps and sources. That is operational tracking: it governs who gets messaged. It is not evidence: properties are editable by admins, APIs, and imports, and Klaviyo does not archive the form language shown or record the opt-in session.
Is Klaviyo's consent record enough to defend a TCPA claim?+
It is a starting point courts treat as a business record, but plaintiff counsel attacks its mutability and the missing disclosure context. Contemporaneous, tamper-evident capture — language version, checkbox state, session replay — is what makes consent individually provable.
How do OptInFix and Klaviyo work together?+
Capture opt-ins through an OptInFix form, which vaults the evidence, then sync the subscriber into Klaviyo via webhook with consent status set. Klaviyo runs your flows and campaigns; OptInFix holds the proof.
What about consents Klaviyo collected through Shopify checkout?+
Checkout-synced consents inherit whatever the checkout checkbox bundled, and the evidence is a database row. High-volume stores pair checkout consent with an OptInFix confirmation step so the highest-risk cohort gains real evidence.
If I leave Klaviyo, what happens to my consent records?+
Exports give you CSVs of current properties — not the underlying evidence. Consents captured through OptInFix are platform-independent: the records, replays, and hashes stay verifiable wherever you send from next.
