Theme and app output
Catch missing names, invalid structure, contrast issues, and controls introduced by themes or storefront apps.
Rendered-site checking
Check a Shopify storefront without adding an overlay
wcagc scans the public storefront your customers use. Findings point to rendered elements so you can change theme code, app output, or content at the source.
Typical Shopify work
Product content
Locate missing image alternatives and unclear form labels, then review whether the written alternatives are meaningful.
Checkout-adjacent journeys
Re-check product, cart, search, and account pages after theme releases or app changes.
Review the transaction, not just the storefront
Cart, checkout, login, and payment are connected customer jobs. Treat them as one testable journey while keeping the automation boundary visible.
Cart
Check product options, quantity controls, update messages, names, focus order, and rendered errors.
Checkout
Scan reachable checkout states and record guided keyboard, reflow, label, and error-prevention checks.
Login and account
Use a dedicated saved test account for configured authenticated scans and repeatable journeys.
Payment hand-off
Review the rendered transition and return states; third-party payment behavior still needs human testing.
What automation can support
Rendered markup, accessible names, labels, contrast, structure, selected-rule regressions, and reached-page evidence.
What still needs people
Keyboard flow, understandable errors, content meaning, assistive-technology behavior, and third-party payment states.
See the evidence before signing up
The sample is a real report view: severity, affected element, rule, and a practical direction for the fix. Automated coverage is clearly separated from manual review.
Platform questions
Do I need to install a plugin?
No. wcagc scans the rendered public website, so it does not require a platform plugin.
Will the scan find every accessibility issue?
No. Automated tests find only part of WCAG issues. Theme semantics, content quality, keyboard flows, and assistive-technology behavior also need manual review.
Can I verify a change after fixing it?
Yes. Re-scan the affected page or saved site and compare current evidence while keeping manual checks in the workflow.
