Why ongoing monitoring matters
A one-time scan becomes outdated within weeks as your store evolves. EAA compliance requires ongoing documentation, not a single audit.
What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is an EU directive that requires digital products and services, including e-commerce stores, to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. Enforcement began June 28, 2025.
Does my Shopify store need to comply with the EAA?
If your Shopify store sells to customers in the EU, you are required to comply with the European Accessibility Act. Non-compliant stores risk fines and legal action from EU member states.
What is WCAG 2.1 AA?
WCAG 2.1 AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the technical standard that the EAA requires e-commerce stores to meet. It covers contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, alt text for images, form labels, and more.
Why does ongoing monitoring matter for EAA compliance?
- New accessibility issues appear every time you update your theme or install a new app
- Seasonal campaigns and new product pages introduce violations automatically
- A one-time scan becomes outdated within weeks as your store evolves
- EAA compliance requires ongoing documentation, not a single audit
- Automated tools catch new issues instantly — manual checks can't scale with your store
What does automated scanning catch?
Automated scanning with tools like EAAaudit catches approximately 30–40% of violations. Full compliance also requires manual review of keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and dynamic content interactions.
What this free scan is built around
The European Accessibility Act is already in force across the EU. This scan is built around the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, a 60–90 second check, and the published limit of automated testing.
