European Accessibility Act
EAA compliance for ecommerce teams
The European Accessibility Act applies to many products and services offered in the EU, including ecommerce experiences. The practical challenge is not a one-time checklist; storefronts, campaigns, checkout flows, and apps change continuously.
What to monitor
- Product images with missing or unhelpful alternative text.
- Checkout forms without labels, instructions, or clear error states.
- Buttons, menus, and filters that cannot be understood by assistive technology.
- Accessibility statement availability and update history.
- Regression risk after theme, app, checkout, or campaign changes.
Evidence buyers need
Leadership, legal, and ecommerce teams need dated scan results, prioritized findings, remediation notes, and a record of improvement over time. Continuous evidence is more useful than a static audit that becomes stale after the next release.
