E-commerce Compliance
Accessibility compliance for online shops
E-commerce websites are primary enforcement targets under the European Accessibility Act. Verify your webshop's compliance status before regulators do.
E-commerce faces the highest enforcement risk
The EAA specifically targets online retail services. Here's why webshops are at elevated risk:
Explicit EAA scope
E-commerce services are explicitly named in the EAA directive. Online shops are not in a grey area - they're clearly covered.
Consumer complaints
E-commerce generates the most accessibility complaints. Every frustrated customer is a potential regulatory trigger.
High visibility
Regulators can easily test public webshops. Your checkout process is visible proof of compliance or non-compliance.
Common Issues
Typical accessibility problems in webshops
Checkout forms
Payment forms often lack proper labels, error messages, and keyboard navigation. Screen reader users cannot complete purchases.
Product images
Product photos without alt text make it impossible for visually impaired users to understand what they're buying.
Product filters
Complex filter widgets with sliders, dropdowns, and dynamic updates often break keyboard and screen reader accessibility.
Price & availability
Dynamic pricing, stock levels, and promotional badges often rely on colour alone or are not announced to assistive technology.
Shopping cart
Cart updates, quantity changes, and item removal often happen without informing screen reader users of the changes.
Payment methods
Third-party payment widgets (iDEAL, PayPal, credit card forms) often introduce their own accessibility barriers.
