Is your store quietly inaccessible — and getting you sued?
Shopify stores are about a third of all U.S. ADA web-accessibility lawsuits, and the EU Accessibility Act now applies to anyone selling to EU shoppers. AccessGuard runs a real, code-level WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA audit of your storefront, scores your risk, and fixes what it can — it is not an accessibility overlay widget.
Launching on the Shopify App Store. Free plan available — Pro from $29/mo with a 7-day trial. Read-only access; we never touch your customer data.
Overlays don't fix accessibility. They get you sued anyway.
The popular accessibility "widgets" bolt a toolbar onto your site and promise compliance — but courts and the FTC have rejected that approach, and stores running overlays still get sued. AccessGuard does the opposite: it audits your real pages against the actual WCAG rules and changes the underlying store, honestly.
A real code-level audit
We load your live storefront pages in a real browser and run the industry-standard axe engine — the same checks an accessibility consultant starts with — across your home, collection, product, cart, and search pages.
One honest score
A single 0–100 accessibility score with a per-area breakdown, every issue mapped to the exact WCAG success criterion it breaks. No fake "compliant" badge — just where you stand and what to fix.
One-click fixes
Apply AI-written alt text to product images missing it, publish an accessibility statement, and apply safe, reversible theme fixes — all from your Shopify admin, with a one-click undo.
Ongoing monitoring
Turn on weekly re-audits and AccessGuard flags regressions before they become liabilities — like a new product added without alt text, or a theme change that reintroduces an issue.
From risk to fixed, in three steps
Everything runs inside Shopify. One click to install, read-only access to your public store, no developer needed.
Audit
Install AccessGuard and run an audit. It scans your real storefront pages against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and scores your ADA & EAA risk.
Fix
Apply AI alt text, publish an accessibility statement, and apply safe theme fixes — or hand the prioritized, criterion-mapped list to your developer.
Monitor
Re-audit anytime and watch your score climb. With Pro, weekly monitoring catches new issues before they reopen your risk.
Honest about what automation can and can't do
We're upfront about the limits. AccessGuard reduces your risk and does the heavy lifting — but no tool, ours included, can "guarantee" legal compliance. That honesty is the point.
