Accessibility fixes for Shopify stores
Every shopper should reach checkout. We fix the code that stops them.
We find WCAG 2.2 AA issues on your store, fix them in a copy of your theme, and keep watch every month. You review and publish. No overlay widget, no access to your domain.
Screen reader: “Logo, link”
Why it matters now
Most stores fail automated checks, and online stores get sued the most.
5,000+
digital accessibility lawsuits were filed in the US in 2025.
UsableNet 2025 year-end report69%
of the lawsuits in the first half of 2025 targeted e-commerce.
UsableNet midyear report 202595.9%
of the top one million home pages had detectable WCAG failures.
WebAIM Million 2026In the EU, the European Accessibility Act has applied to online stores since 28 June 2025. Overlay widgets add a toolbar but leave the code unchanged; in 2025 the FTC ordered one overlay vendor to pay $1 million over misleading accessibility claims.
How it works
Four steps. You stay in control of your store.
Free risk report
We scan your home, collection and product pages and send a PDF with the issues we found and who they affect.
Collaborator access
You invite us through Shopify with theme permissions only. We never need your domain, payments or customer data.
Fixes in a theme copy
We fix the code in a duplicate of your live theme, scan before and after, and log every change.
You review and publish
Preview the copy, then publish when you are ready. Guard rescans every month as your store changes.

Scope
What we do, and what we don’t
We do
- Fix your theme code so it works with screen readers and keyboards
- Test against WCAG 2.2 level A and AA
- Show every change before anything goes live
- Rescan monthly so new products and apps don’t undo the work
We don’t
- Install an overlay widget
- Change Shopify’s checkout or third-party apps (we report issues in them to you)
- Promise that you won’t be sued or call your store “compliant”
- Give legal advice. For that, talk to your attorney.
Questions
FAQ
Do you need my domain or my password?
No. You invite us as a collaborator through Shopify with theme permissions only. You can remove our access at any time.
Will the fixes change how my store looks?
Mostly no. Typical fixes are labels, text alternatives, focus styles and contrast tweaks. When a fix changes something visible, such as a color, we show you first.
Is the free report really free?
Yes. It is an automated scan of three pages. Automated tools find only part of all issues, so the report is a starting point, not a full audit.
I already have an accessibility widget. Am I covered?
A widget adds a toolbar on top of your store, but the issues in the code are still there for people using screen readers. We fix the code itself.
Do you work with stores in Sweden and the EU?
Yes. Reports are available in Swedish, and we work with stores covered by the European Accessibility Act and Sweden’s law 2023:254.
