European Accessibility Act and online shops
The European Accessibility Act turns accessibility into a practical business requirement for many services, not only a goodwill topic.
What to check in an online shop
The European Accessibility Act covers, among other things, e-commerce and digital services. For an online shop, the purchase journey must be usable for people with different needs.
Check:
- menus, search and filters with a keyboard;
- readability of product information, price and availability;
- cart and form error messages;
- clarity of payment and delivery choices;
- contrast, focus and button size.
Why technical testing is necessary
A visually polished shop can still fail accessibility testing. The most common problems appear in dynamic parts: filters, carts, modals, forms and payment flows.
WebPro can check these areas with audit and testing. If the shop runs on Drupal or needs custom functionality, accessibility fixes can be combined with Drupal development and automated testing.
