Accessibility in XT:Commerce: Legal obligation and competitive advantage
The Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) requires all online shop operators to offer accessible digital services from June 28, 2025.
XT:Commerce shops are especially affected if they:
-
sell products or services online
-
offer features like forms, filters, or custom modules
