Shopify Accessibility Checker

Yes. If your Shopify store is open to the public and serves US customers, it is subject to Title III of the ADA, which courts have consistently applied to e-commerce websites. ADA lawsuits against online retailers are common — over 4,800 were filed in 2025 alone, a significant increase year over year. WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the standard you need to meet.

Shopify provides a framework but accessibility depends heavily on your theme, apps, and content. Many Shopify themes — including some Official themes — have accessibility issues. Third-party apps often inject inaccessible components. ADAGuard scans the final rendered page your customers see, including all theme and app code.

ADAGuard provides step-by-step code fix guidance for every issue found. For Shopify, fixes typically involve editing theme Liquid files to add alt text, adjusting CSS for color contrast and focus indicators, and updating form markup to include proper labels. ADAGuard's fix guidance includes before/after code examples you can apply directly in the Shopify theme editor.

Yes. ADAGuard can crawl and scan up to 1,000 pages on paid plans — including your homepage, product pages, collection pages, and checkout flow. You can also target specific high-priority pages like your main product page or checkout on the free plan.

The most common WCAG failures on Shopify stores are: missing or empty alt text on product images (1.1.1), insufficient color contrast on text and buttons (1.4.3), missing form labels on checkout fields (1.3.1 / 3.3.2), hidden focus indicators (2.4.7), and inaccessible carousels or sliders (2.1.1 / 2.2.2).

Yes. ADAGuard supports scheduled recurring scans on Starter plans and above — daily, weekly, or monthly. Shopify stores are particularly vulnerable to regressions: theme updates, new app installs, and product content changes can silently introduce new violations. Scheduled scans catch these automatically and send email alerts when your compliance score drops, so you stay ahead of issues before they attract a demand letter.

ADAGuard's smart layout detection scans unique page templates rather than every individual product page. If your store has 300 product pages built on the same Shopify template, ADAGuard identifies the template, scans it once, and applies findings across all similar pages — giving you full coverage without burning through your monthly scan quota.
