Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAccessKit checks your storefront against WCAG 2.1 AA rules — alt text, form labels, heading order, color contrast, empty links, language attributes — in one weighted score, free. It also fixes missing product-image alt text using your product data. Since June 2025 the European Accessibility Act requires stores serving EU customers to publish an accessibility statement — Pro generates and hosts it from two fields.
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.

- Hosted EAA accessibility statement, published from two fields
- Not an overlay — flags real markup issues for your theme to fix
- 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
