Optimize Shopify for Accessibility with SiteCockpit
Meet legal requirements, reach more customer groups, and sustainably increase revenue and visibility of your Shopify store.
Accessibility in Shopify: Obligation and Competitive Advantage
From June 28, 2025, the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) mandates accessibility for online stores.
Especially relevant for merchants who:
-
Sell products or services online
-
Use forms, apps, or tools
-
Have over 10 employees or generate more than €2 million in annual revenue
Without adaptation, fines up to €100,000, warnings, and reputational damage may follow.
SiteCockpit – Your Solution for Shopify
SiteCockpit makes Shopify accessible – fast, secure, compliant. A single code snippet is enough to make the shop accessible to everyone and meet WCAG requirements.
