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.
The European Accessibility Act, BFSG in Germany, has applied to shops selling online in the EU since June 2025. Testamur maps each storefront barrier to its EN 301 549 clause and WCAG 2.1 AA criterion. Where a verified fix exists for your theme, you see the file, line and code to change. It drafts your statement from the scan and every scan stays on a dated record. No overlay, no script on your storefront.
- Weekly automated checks — your shop is looked at even when you forget
- Every finding dated: when it appeared, when it was fixed, when it returned
- A dated record to show for ADA, WCAG and EAA compliance work
- An accessibility statement built from your own record, ready to publish
- Barrier report in plain language, mapped to EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1 AA
- Theme barriers kept apart from barriers added by other apps
- Accessibility statement drafted from your latest scan
- Conformance report, clause by clause against EN 301 549
