Accessibility on WooCommerce

Online shops must be usable with assistive technology.

Native coverage

Partial Depends entirely on the theme and block editor output. Core blocks are reasonably accessible; page builders often are not.

Apps

No app on the wordpress.org plugin directory declared coverage for this rule in the 20 September 2026 scan. Merchants are handling it by hand, through a general-purpose app, or not at all.

No app found for this combination in the last scan.

What the rule requires

The store has to work with a screen reader and a keyboard: text alternatives for images, visible focus, sufficient contrast, labelled form fields, no keyboard traps, and an accessibility statement. Overlay widgets that inject fixes at runtime are contested and have drawn regulatory action; real remediation of the theme is the defensible path.

Who it binds: E-commerce services offered to consumers in the EU, from 28 June 2025. In the US, ADA litigation targets any public-facing site.
