Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureEvery image in your store ships with descriptive alt text — better Google rankings, accessibility compliance, zero manual work. Upload an image, AI analyzes it and generates descriptive alt text in seconds. The image then saves to your Files library with alt text already attached, so every image that goes through AltGate AI is accessibility-ready before it ever appears in your store.
The European Accessibility Act is now enforced, and US stores face thousands of ADA lawsuits a year — missing image alt text is the most-cited violation. Honest A11y scans your store for real WCAG issues, then AI writes alt text for your product images; you approve every fix before it goes live. No overlay widgets that lawyers see through — real, code-level fixes.
