Accessibility for your WooCommerce shop: easy to implement
WooCommerce is one of the most popular shop plugins for WordPress – but standard installations often lack sufficient accessibility. SiteCockpit helps you meet legal requirements while improving usability for all customer groups.
Accessibility as a success factor for small shops
The Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) also applies to WooCommerce shops – especially if you
-
offer services, bookings, or digital content
-
have a team of at least 10 employees
-
generate over €2 million in annual revenue
Ignoring it costs: fines up to €100,000, legal warnings, and loss of customer trust.
SiteCockpit for WooCommerce: your path to more accessibility
With SiteCockpit, you bring your WooCommerce shop up to date: automated checks, adjustment support, and a powerful accessibility widget ensure an inclusive shopping experience. This not only meets regulations but also improves your brand image and conversion rate.
