Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRun an accessibility audit of your store against WCAG and EN 301 549, the standard behind the European Accessibility Act (EAA). The scanner loads the pages a shopper meets (home, product, collection, cart, search, policies) in a real browser and lists each issue in plain language: the element, the pages, and the fix. Nothing in a report is hidden.
Ensure your Shopify storefront complies with the European Accessibility Act (EAA / BFSG) and international standards (WCAG 2.1 Level A & AA). The BFSG Accessibility Scanner specifically features intelligent liability splitting: it automatically isolates whether accessibility defects originate in your store's theme code or in injected third-party app widgets.
