Last reviewed by the WebsiteAccessibility.io team.
Key takeaways
- Most Shopify accessibility issues come from the theme and installed apps, so one theme fix can repair many pages.
- Common problems include missing alt text, low colour contrast and unlabeled form fields.
- Overlay apps do not fix the underlying code; changes belong in the theme.
