Ecommerce Accessibility Checker

Yes. Title III of the ADA applies to places of public accommodation, and US federal courts have consistently ruled that online retail websites are places of public accommodation under the ADA. There is no single DOJ-mandated technical standard for private businesses, but WCAG is widely used as the practical accessibility benchmark in individual cases and settlements. Ecommerce sites are among the most frequent targets of ADA demand letters and class-action lawsuits.

Focus first on the core purchase path: homepage, category pages, product detail pages, cart, and checkout. These pages are the most critical for completing a transaction and the most likely to be cited in an ADA complaint. ADAGuard can scan all of these pages in a single multi-page scan.

Over 4,800 ADA web accessibility lawsuits were filed in 2025 — a significant increase year over year — with online retailers accounting for the largest single industry segment. The typical demand letter requests immediate remediation and attorney's fees. Proactively fixing WCAG violations — and documenting the remediation — is the most effective defense.

Yes. ADAGuard can scan any public page including cart and checkout pages. For checkout flows that require a logged-in account, ADAGuard supports authenticated scanning on Professional plans and above — meaning it can test your full post-login checkout experience.

Start with a free ADAGuard scan on your homepage and most-visited product page. ADAGuard will list the WCAG 2.2 issues it finds with the exact element selector and a code fix suggestion. Prioritize critical issues (which carry the highest legal risk) first, then work through warnings. For multi-page stores, upgrade to a paid plan to scan your entire site.

Yes. ADAGuard's smart layout detection scans unique page templates rather than every individual product page. If you have 500 product pages built on the same template, ADAGuard identifies the template, scans it once, and surfaces findings across all similar pages — giving you complete coverage without wasting scan quota on duplicates.

Yes. ADAGuard supports scheduled recurring scans (daily, weekly, or monthly) on Starter plans and above. E-commerce sites change constantly — new products, seasonal promotions, A/B tests, and platform updates can all introduce accessibility regressions. Scheduled scans catch these automatically and send email alerts when compliance drops, so you're never surprised by a demand letter.
