A11y Pulse scans Shopify stores externally, against the live storefront your customers actually use. There’s no Shopify app to install, no theme code to edit, and no liquid templates to instrument. Point A11y Pulse at your store URL and every product page, collection page, content page, and checkout step gets audited against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 every day, with prioritised issues ranked by severity.
Accessibility is a real commercial concern for ecommerce. ADA Title III settlements have been creeping up year on year, and most are triggered by issues an automated scanner catches: missing form labels on checkout, low-contrast price text, images without alternative text, and keyboard traps in modal dialogs. A11y Pulse’s daily scanning catches these the moment a theme update, a third-party app, or a content edit introduces them. Slack and Microsoft Teams regression alerts give your team a chance to fix the issue before it shows up on a demand letter.
A11y Pulse works with any Shopify plan, including Shopify Plus, on any theme (Dawn, custom, or built on a headless storefront with Hydrogen). Got a private staging store or a B2B portal behind a login? The scripting feature handles authenticated flows. Need a shareable accessibility status for a brand owner, agency, or compliance reviewer? PDF reports are one click away.
