Find the accessibility failures hiding in your Shopify purchase path

CartComply monitors the pages where accessibility failures cost real money: product pages, cart, checkout-adjacent flows, and account screens. Daily scans catch keyboard traps, unlabeled fields, and screen reader blockers before they cost conversions, and monthly evidence reports document every fix for legal defense.

Why focus on the purchase path?

Plaintiffs and their experts walk the same path your customers do: home, product, cart, checkout. Issues on those pages are what demand letters cite, and they are also where a keyboard-only or screen reader shopper abandons a cart. Fixing the purchase path defends the lawsuit and the revenue at the same time.

What does CartComply catch that other tools miss?

Dynamic states. A size selector that traps keyboard focus, a discount field without a label, an error message a screen reader never announces, a drawer cart that hides focus behind itself. CartComply exercises interactive states, not just static markup, and maps each failure to its WCAG criterion and theme component.

How do fixes get verified?

Every fix is confirmed by a rescan of the exact state that failed, not a generic page pass. The fix gets a dated verification entry in your evidence file, and the monthly report rolls those entries into the running compliance record your attorney or insurer can review at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Can Shopify checkout pages even be scanned?

Shopify's hosted checkout restricts custom scripts, and that constraint actually helps: the hosted checkout is maintained to a high accessibility standard by Shopify itself. The risk concentrates in the pages you control, like product templates, cart drawers, and account areas, plus checkout extensions and pixels. CartComply focuses its deepest testing exactly there.

Which purchase-path issues trigger lawsuits?

The patterns cited most often are missing form labels on email and discount fields, error states that are never announced to screen readers, keyboard traps in variant selectors and cart drawers, and focus that disappears behind modals. They are all mechanical failures, which is why automated monitoring catches them reliably before a filer does.

Does accessibility work hurt conversion?

The opposite direction is more common. Keyboard-navigable variant pickers, labeled fields, and announced error messages reduce friction for every shopper, including the large share of buyers with temporary or situational limitations. Many fixes, like visible focus states and better error copy, are conversion best practices wearing a compliance label.

How does CartComply handle cart drawers and modals?

Drawer carts and quick-view modals are the most common keyboard trap on Shopify. CartComply opens them, tests focus containment, escape behavior, and announcement of updates, then reports the exact component that fails. Your developer gets a specific fix, usually a few lines of focus management, not a vague warning.

What do I get if a demand letter cites my checkout?

A dated file: every purchase-path scan, every issue found and fixed, and verification rescans. That file lets your attorney respond with evidence of a working program rather than apologies. CartComply does not provide legal advice; it gives your counsel the documentation a defense is built from, current to the last scan.

How much does CartComply cost?

Every engagement starts with a free accessibility audit of your purchase path, so the findings are concrete before anything else is discussed. Ongoing monitoring is quoted per storefront after the audit, based on how many stores you run and the scan cadence you choose. No long-term contract.
