Why Ecommerce sites need accessibility testing
Online retailers are one of the most-sued categories under Title III of the ADA. Over 4,800 ADA lawsuits were filed in 2025 — a 37% increase year over year — with e-commerce sites accounting for the largest single industry segment. The DOJ's 2024 rule confirmed that online stores must meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. A single inaccessible checkout flow can expose your store to demand letters and litigation. ADAGuard scans your entire e-commerce site — product listings, category pages, cart, and checkout — using a real browser, and identifies every WCAG 2.2 violation with element-level precision and code fix guidance.
ADA & WCAG 2.2 compliance
Courts now require WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the standard for ADA compliance. Non-compliance exposes you to demand letters and class-action lawsuits.
Instant results
ADAGuard scans using a real Playwright browser — not a linter. You get accurate results on dynamically rendered pages in seconds.
Actionable fix guidance
Every issue includes the exact element selector, WCAG criterion, and step-by-step code fix instructions — not just a pass/fail.
Common accessibility issues on Ecommerce sites
These are the violations ADAGuard finds most frequently — and the ones most cited in ADA lawsuits.
Product image alt text missing or empty
Every product image must have descriptive alt text explaining what the product looks like. Empty alt="" is only appropriate for decorative images. Missing alt text fails WCAG 1.1.1 and makes products invisible to screen readers.
Inaccessible product filters and facets
Category filter widgets built with custom checkboxes, sliders, or dropdowns often have no keyboard support, missing labels, or incorrect ARIA roles — creating barriers for keyboard and assistive technology users (WCAG 2.1.1 / 4.1.2).
Low color contrast on sale badges and CTAs
Sale badges, discount labels, and promotional banners frequently use color combinations that fail WCAG 1.4.3 minimum contrast. This affects both visually impaired users and users in bright lighting conditions.
Checkout form errors not announced
When a checkout form field has an error, the error message must be associated with the field via aria-describedby and announced to screen readers. Generic error banners at the top of the form are insufficient (WCAG 3.3.1 / 3.3.3).
Quantity selectors without accessible names
Custom quantity steppers — + and − buttons — without aria-label attributes are announced as "button" only, with no context about what is being incremented (WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value).
Payment field keyboard traps
Third-party payment widgets (Stripe, PayPal, Square) embedded in iframes sometimes create keyboard traps — users tab in but cannot tab out — violating WCAG 2.1.2.
