Creating Accessible Shopping Experiences with Shopware
Unlock the full potential of Shopware to create accessible shops: Reach new target groups, meet legal requirements, and offer an inclusive user experience – flexible, scalable, and future-proof.
Accessibility in Shopware Becomes Mandatory in 2025 – Are You Ready?
Starting June 28, 2025, the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) requires many Shopware operators to make their online shops accessible – based on the WCAG standards.
Acting now not only ensures legal compliance but also builds trust and opens up new customer groups.
Your online shop is affected if:
-
You target end consumers
-
You offer online functions and tools such as ordering, forms, content elements, or customer portals
-
Your company has at least 10 employees or generates more than €2 million in annual revenue
Violations of accessibility laws can lead to fines up to €100,000, legal warnings, or reputational damage.
