What is WCAG 2.2 and why does it matter?

WCAG 2.2 is the international standard for web accessibility. It defines how to make websites usable for people with disabilities. Compliance is legally required under the ADA in the US and the European Accessibility Act in the EU. Non-compliance can lead to lawsuits, fines, and lost customers.

What does the full report include?

A branded PDF with your compliance score, every violation grouped by severity, fix instructions with code examples, WCAG criteria mapping for each issue, affected HTML elements, and a list of passed checks. Hand it to your developer or attach it to compliance records.

How is this different from free browser tools?

Free tools flag issues inline but produce no exportable documentation. You cannot share the results with stakeholders, attach them to compliance records, or hand them to a developer with fix instructions. ScanAble produces a professional PDF that serves as both an audit record and a remediation plan.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Enter your URL, see your free preview, pay $19, and your report is ready to download. We only ask for an email to deliver the PDF link.

What if the scan fails or the report is wrong?

If our scanner cannot reach your website, you are not charged. If you receive a report you believe contains errors, contact us within 7 days for a full refund.

How long does the scan take?

Most scans finish in 30 to 60 seconds. Pages with heavy JavaScript may take up to 90 seconds. Your PDF is ready to download the moment the scan completes.

Shopify Accessibility Guide

Shopify stores face unique accessibility challenges because merchants have limited control over theme internals. The Dawn theme improved defaults, but product pages, checkout flows, and third-party apps often introduce barriers. With ecommerce being the most-sued industry for ADA violations, Shopify store owners need to pay attention.

Common Shopify accessibility issues

Product images missing alt text

Shopify allows blank alt text on product images. Many stores upload hundreds of products without descriptions, blocking screen reader users.

serious

Inaccessible product variant selectors

Color swatches and size selectors in many themes lack proper ARIA labels, making product customization impossible without a mouse.

critical

Cart and checkout keyboard traps

Some themes create keyboard traps in modal carts or multi-step checkouts where Tab key navigation gets stuck.

critical

Missing skip navigation links

Many Shopify themes lack a 'Skip to content' link, forcing keyboard users to tab through the entire header on every page.

moderate

Low contrast in promotional banners

Sale banners and promotional overlays often use text colors that fail WCAG contrast ratios against background images.

serious

How to fix Shopify accessibility

Use Shopify's Dawn theme as a base — it has the best built-in accessibility

Add alt text to every product image via the Shopify admin (Products → Edit media)

Test the entire checkout flow using only the keyboard (Tab, Enter, Space)

Add a skip link to your theme's header by editing theme.liquid

Avoid third-party apps that inject overlays — these often break keyboard navigation
