Your online shop and the European Accessibility Act
Since 28 June 2025 the accessibility requirements apply to online shops selling to consumers. Most barriers sit not in the products but in the theme, and therefore on every page at once.
For shops with at least 10 employees or more than EUR 2 million annual turnover. Micro-enterprises are exempt from the service requirements.
What is included
- Testing the templates that matter: home, category, product, cart, checkout, account
- Keyboard operation of the whole purchase, from choosing a product to the payment page
- Fixes in the theme, stored so that a theme update does not silently overwrite them
- The accessibility information required by the EAA, written from the measured results
- Re-measurement and report, optionally continued with change checks on every update
How it works
Measure for free
The quick check covers the home page. For checkout we need test access.
Quote
Fixed price by cause, split into theme, content and third-party plugins.
Fix
In a child or duplicated theme, tested on a copy of the shop.
Publish
Go-live, re-measurement, accessibility information ready to publish.
What you have at the end
You get a list of the changed files, the report before and after, and a text for your accessibility information that claims only what was measured.
Price
Fixed price on request. You receive a written quote in advance with a closed list of what is included.
What we do not promise
- Payment pages from external providers (such as PayPal or Klarna) are not in your theme. We name barriers there, but cannot fix them.
- No legal advice. Whether the law applies to you is for your lawyer to judge if in doubt.
- No promise of full conformance afterwards, only the fixing of named points.
Frequently asked questions
- Which shop systems?
- Shopify, WooCommerce and Shopware. Other systems after review, custom builds at a surcharge.
- Isn't an accessibility plugin enough?
- No. Overlay plugins do not change the shop's code, and the EU Commission has made clear they do not provide conformance.
- What happens at the next theme update?
- The fixes are kept apart from the original theme and listed at handover. With change checks you notice immediately if an update reverts something.
