Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBuilt for the moment an ADA demand letter or an accessibility deadline arrives. One scan finds the issues automated checks can see, grouped by cause, and AccessComply writes the fixes into your theme after you approve them: contrast, form labels, headings, skip links, keyboard focus. Originals are saved and each page is checked again. You get a dated remediation plan, a fix record and an accessibility statement.
Kōkua loads your live storefront and checks it for WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility issues — missing alt text, low contrast, unlabeled forms, broken heading order — using the axe-core engine. It's honest about scope: it finds the machine-detectable issues, not everything, and never claims to make you compliant or certified.
- Automated WCAG 2.1 AA scanning detects violations across all pages
- Source-code fixes — real theme changes, not an overlay widget
- AI-generated alt text and ARIA labels for images and interactive elements
- Continuous monitoring detects new violations as your store changes
- Scans your live storefront for WCAG 2.2 AA issues with the axe-core engine
- A specific theme-level fix for every issue, ordered by real shopper impact
- Read-only — never edits your theme, never injects an overlay widget
- Generates an EAA-ready accessibility statement you can publish
