Common Issues

Shopify accessibility problems we find

Theme accessibility

Many Shopify themes - even premium ones from the Theme Store - have colour contrast issues, missing skip links, and inaccessible mega menus.

Product pages

Variant selectors, size guides, and "Add to cart" buttons often lack proper ARIA labels. Product images frequently miss alt text.

Cart & checkout

Cart drawers, quantity adjusters, and dynamic updates often don't announce changes to screen readers. Checkout forms may lack proper labels.

Third-party apps

Reviews, wishlists, popups, and other apps often inject inaccessible widgets. Each app can introduce its own accessibility problems.

Search & filtering

Collection filters, search autocomplete, and "no results" states often aren't properly announced to assistive technology users.

Image galleries

Product image carousels and zoom features often trap keyboard focus or lack proper navigation controls.

About Shopify Checkout

Shopify's checkout is managed by Shopify and generally meets accessibility standards. However, if you're using Checkout Extensibility or custom checkout apps, those additions may introduce accessibility issues.

Our scan covers your entire storefront including the checkout flow, so you'll see any issues introduced by your customisations.
