PLATFORMS SHOPIFY

Shopify accessibility,
checked the way shoppers see it.

A WCAG 2.2 and ADA scanner for Shopify. It tests your theme, apps and checkout pages the way a shopper’s browser renders them.

No signup · 10–30 seconds

What we usually find on Shopify.

  • Product images without alt text

    Empty alt attributes on product photos, so a screen reader announces nothing — WCAG 1.1.1.

  • Low contrast

    Light grey text and pale sale badges that fail the 4.5:1 minimum — WCAG 1.4.3.

  • Add-to-cart buttons with no name

    Icon buttons without an accessible name, or targets smaller than 24 by 24 pixels.

  • Checkout fields without labels

    Address and payment fields with no associated label — WCAG 1.3.1 and 3.3.2.

  • Hidden focus outlines

    Themes that remove the focus ring, so keyboard users can’t see where they are.

  • Carousels without pause

    Auto-playing sliders with no pause control and no keyboard access.

How the scan works.

  1. Paste your URL

    Any public page of your store — the homepage, a collection, a product page.

  2. We render it in a real browser

    Chromium loads the page with your theme and apps, then runs 100+ checks against WCAG 2.2 A and AA — usually in 10–30 seconds.

  3. Fix with the evidence in front of you

    Each issue shows the element, where it is on the page and how to fix common cases.

Questions

Does my Shopify store need to be accessible?

If it sells to the public, the ADA (US) and the European Accessibility Act (EU customers; in Germany, the BFSG) can both apply, and both point to WCAG Level AA. This is general information, not legal advice.

Is Shopify ADA compliant?

Shopify provides the platform, but your theme, apps and content decide most of it. Apps often inject components that a keyboard or screen reader can’t use — we test the finished page, apps included.

How do I fix the issues on my store?

Each issue comes with the element and fix guidance; most fixes are edits to theme Liquid files and CSS — alt text, contrast, focus styles and form labels.

Can ADAGuard scan a store with hundreds of product pages?

Yes. Paid plans crawl up to 1,000 pages per scan, and smart layout detection scans two pages per template instead of every product page built on it.
