Adobe Commerce Accessibility Checker

Accessibility on Adobe Commerce

Adobe Commerce is the paid edition of Magento, used by larger merchants and B2B sellers. It adds Page Builder for drag-and-drop content, B2B features such as company accounts, quotes and requisition lists, and cloud hosting. Those extras mean there are more kinds of page to test than on a standard store.

Large Adobe Commerce stores often have several storefronts, several languages and an agency building the theme. Accessibility is decided by that custom front end and by content teams using Page Builder, not by the platform, which is why an automated check across every template is a useful safety net.

WebAIM’s annual analysis of the top one million home pages finds detectable WCAG failures on the vast majority of them. Larger, more customized sites have more templates and more third-party code, which gives accessibility failures more places to start. (opens in a new tab, source: WebAIM Million)

Common Accessibility Issues on Adobe Commerce Sites

• Page Builder content

  Rows, banners and tabs built with Page Builder are easy to make visually, but heading levels get skipped, images lack alt text and buttons are styled links with unclear names.

• B2B account pages

  Company users, quote requests, requisition lists and quick-order forms are data-heavy tables and forms where labels, headers and error messages are easy to miss.

• Multi-store and language variants

  Each storefront view can have its own theme and content. A missing page language or wrong lang attribute on a translated store view makes a screen reader read in the wrong voice.

• Search and product recommendations

  Live search overlays, autocomplete and recommendation carousels often lack names, roles and announcements for results.

• Custom checkout and payment integrations

  Agency-built checkouts and payment or financing widgets frequently add unlabeled fields and iframes without titles.

How AccessBell Scans Your Adobe Commerce Site

1. Enter any public page. Paste the address of a page on your Adobe Commerce site into the scanner above. There is nothing to install: no plugin, no code snippet and no login.
2. We load it in a real browser. AccessBell opens the page in headless Chrome and runs its scripts, so it tests what your visitors actually see, including content added by your theme, apps or plugins.
3. We run the WCAG rules. The open-source axe-core engine checks the page against the standard you choose, and every result is mapped to the WCAG success criteria it affects.
4. You see what is wrong in seconds. The free scan lists every issue it finds, ranked by severity, with the WCAG criteria each one fails. Start a free trial to get the failing code and the fix for each one. Our methodology explains exactly what runs and what still needs a person.

How to Fix What the Scan Finds

1. Give content editors rules for Page Builder: a real heading for each section, alt text on every image and descriptive button text.
2. Fix theme and template problems in your custom theme or child theme, so one change corrects every storefront view that inherits it.
3. Run scans on each store view and language, not just the main storefront, and keep dated records of the results for your accessibility file.
4. Run a free scan above on your homepage and a few key pages, fix issues starting with critical and serious, then rescan to confirm.
5. For ongoing protection, AccessBell Pro monitors up to 500 URLs per domain every day and alerts you when a theme, app or plugin update introduces a new issue.
