ADA & WCAG 2.2 AA Accessibility Compliance for Shopify

ADA demand letters against ecommerce sites are a when, not an if — and overlay widgets don't hold up. Symmetry Commerce’s accessibility program brings Shopify stores to WCAG 2.2 AA and keeps them there, combining automated remediation with human expert audits. From $2,000/month.

What’s included

• Automated audit and remediation: code-level scanning that resolves WCAG violations to the 2.2 AA standard
• Monthly manual audit and remediation by IAAP CPACC-certified accessibility experts — real screen reader, zoom and keyboard testing
• Monthly compliance reports designed to prove WCAG 2.2 AA conformance if you ever face a claim
• Remediation implemented directly in your theme code by Shopify developers — not an overlay
• Accessibility scans included before every site launch we deliver

How we work

We fix issues at the source: semantic markup, focus management, contrast, alt text and keyboard paths in your actual theme — then re-test manually every month because automated tools catch only part of the standard. Documentation accumulates into a defensible compliance record.

Proven results

An optics manufacturer runs this program at $2,000/month following their Magento-to-Shopify migration; accessibility fixes across PLP and PDP templates are also standing workstreams inside several of our optimization retainers.

Frequently asked questions

Is an accessibility overlay enough?

No. Overlays are increasingly named in lawsuits rather than preventing them. Code-level remediation with documented manual testing is the defensible approach.

What standard should we target?

WCAG 2.2 AA is the current benchmark courts and settlement agreements reference for ecommerce.

What do we get each month?

Automated remediation, a manual expert audit (screen reader, zoom, keyboard), fixes shipped to your theme, and a written compliance report.
