Free Shopify ADA risk check

Worried about ADA website demand letters? Check your Shopify store for common accessibility issues before a customer, lawyer or agency asks what is wrong.

This is a technical accessibility assessment, not legal advice, and automated testing cannot establish ADA compliance.

What the free check looks for

The free check scans key pages on your Shopify store for common issues that often appear in website accessibility demand letters. It is not a legal review, and it cannot find every accessibility problem, but it can show whether obvious technical issues are present.

• Product and theme images with missing alternative text.
• Text and background colors with detectable contrast failures.
• Newsletter, search, contact or account fields without labels.
• Cart, menu, search, close and carousel buttons without readable names.
• Links that do not tell a screen reader where they go.
• Page-level issues such as missing language.

Why Shopify stores still need checking

Shopify handles the platform, but your store is shaped by your theme, uploaded images, colors, apps and custom code. A theme update, product import, page builder block or pop-up app can introduce issues even if the original theme was built carefully.

Who this is for

• Store owners who want to know whether common issues are visible before a letter arrives.
• Agencies and developers who maintain Shopify stores and want a plain-English issue list before quoting fixes.
• Owners who already received a letter and need technical facts to discuss with their attorney.

What you get free

The free result shows whether issues were detected and, if you uploaded a letter, how many claims match those detected issues. The paid report adds the detailed evidence, platform-specific fix steps, re-checks and before-and-after documentation.

What to check manually too

Automated scans are only part of the picture. Use your keyboard to open the menu, search, select product options, add to cart, close pop-ups and reach checkout. You should always see where focus is and should not get trapped inside a pop-up or menu.
