Is your Shopify store accessible to everyone?

Why Accessibility Matters
Over 1.3 billion people worldwide live with a disability. When your store isn't accessible, you're excluding potential customers who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies.
Accessibility isn't just the right thing to do — it's increasingly a legal requirement. ADA and EAA compliance lawsuits against e-commerce sites have increased significantly. Proactive accessibility improvements protect your business.
Our accessibility audit analyses your Shopify store's HTML for common WCAG violations — checking image alt text, keyboard navigation, ARIA landmarks, form labels, and document structure. These are the issues that affect real users every day.
