For Shopify merchants
Every Shopify app you install can inject DOM at runtime. When a plaintiff's attorney runs an automated scanner against your storefront, most violations come from those apps — not your theme. Generic scanners flag the violations but cannot tell you which app caused them. We map every finding back to the app that introduced it.
Why this matters in 2026
2,014
ADA web lawsuits filed in H1 2025 (UsableNet 2025 mid-year report).
32.4%
of those lawsuits targeted Shopify stores — the highest-density vertical.
1,023
ADA lawsuits hit sites that already had an overlay widget installed (UsableNet 2024).

FTC final order against accessiBe (Jan 2025, finalized Apr 2025) for misleading WCAG-compliance claims.
Demand letters in 2025-2026 most frequently cite: missing form labels at checkout, popup modals trapping keyboard focus, low-contrast 'Add to cart' buttons, image carousels without keyboard controls, and chat widgets that hijack screen-reader focus. All five patterns are common Shopify app outputs.
ADA web settlement medians for SMB e-commerce: $7,500 to $12,500 per case (UsableNet 2025). Defense PDF + good-faith remediation evidence is what your attorney uses to negotiate down or dismiss.
Three things ScanAccess does that no overlay can
ADV 01
Generic scanners flag broken alt text or missing form labels. We map each WCAG 2.2 AA finding back to the installed Shopify app that injected the offending DOM (Klaviyo popup, Loox carousel, Tidio chat widget...). You see the app name, not a cryptic CSS selector.
ADV 02
Our fix instructions name the file (theme.liquid, sections/header.liquid), the Shopify admin path (Settings → Apps → Privy → Forms), and the action to take. No 'add aria-label to element[role=button]' — we tell you which button on which page.
ADV 03
The Defense plan ($49/mo) produces a timestamped, hash-verified WCAG 2.2 AA report aligned with both ADA Title III precedent (US) and EN 301 549 / European Accessibility Act (EU). One report covers both jurisdictions.

Outside the U.S.?
All Shopify EU merchants now fall under national market-surveillance jurisdictions. We have an EU version of this page with EAA-specific guidance and euro pricing. The scan engine and findings are identical — only the legal framing changes.
