Is your BigCommerce store ADA & WCAG compliant? Find out in under a minute.
Common accessibility issues on BigCommerce
- Unlabeled buttons & controls
Icon-only cart, filter, and quantity controls often have no accessible name.
- Missing product image alt text
Catalog images without alt text are invisible to screen-reader shoppers.
- Low-contrast theme elements
Badges, captions, and secondary text commonly fail contrast minimums.
- Inaccessible checkout fields
Form fields without proper labels block screen-reader users at checkout.
Theme and app updates can reintroduce failures, so continuous monitoring beats a one-time audit for a live store.
Why it matters
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been enforceable since June 2025 and requires e-commerce sites to meet WCAG. In the US, the ADA drives thousands of web accessibility lawsuits each year — around 82% of digital ADA suits target e-commerce. A failing BigCommerce store is both a barrier for disabled customers and real legal exposure for you.
