Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBarrier Watch opens your shop in a real browser every week and writes down what it finds, with dates: when a problem appeared, when you fixed it, when a check confirmed the fix, and when it came back after a theme update. Compliance is work, not a badge. We do not certify your shop; we keep the record you show anyone who asks what you did about accessibility.
Barrierenscanner prüft Ihren Shop nach WCAG 2.1 und 2.2 Stufe AA, am Desktop und auf dem Smartphone. Geprüft wird jede Seitenvorlage – Produkte, Kollektionen, Blog, Seiten.

Eine Checkliste deckt ab, was kein automatischer Test entscheiden kann.
