Accessibility with Shopify
Shopify's themes and apps determine the accessibility. The checkout is largely given by Shopify.
Common places for findings
Theme colours with too little contrast, product images without alternative text (can be maintained in the admin), review and pop-up apps without keyboard operation, mega menus only on hover, carousels without a pause.
First step
Choose an accessibility-tested theme, enter an alternative text for every product image, check the apps individually, include it in the privacy statement. Scan the delivered source code.
How a11yglass helps
The free scan checks the delivered HTML and CSS for automatically recognisable WCAG breaches, and names per finding the success criterion and a concrete step. It finds roughly 20–35% of issues and does not replace a full assessment.
