Adobe Commerce ADA Compliance Checker

ADA Compliance for Adobe Commerce Websites

Adobe Commerce is used by larger merchants and B2B sellers, whose sites are bigger and more complex, with account areas, quote tools and multiple storefronts. More pages mean more templates to test, and large brands are more visible targets for ADA complaints and for the European Accessibility Act.

This Adobe Commerce ADA compliance checker runs the same engine as the Adobe Commerce accessibility checker with the ADA preset selected, so the results are measured against WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Paste a page address above to see the issues on your own Adobe Commerce site.

Adobe Commerce ADA Compliance Risks to Check First

These are the barriers most often behind accessibility complaints on Adobe Commerce sites. Each one maps to a WCAG success criterion that the scan reports.

• Page Builder content structure

  Rows and banners built visually with skipped heading levels and unlabeled sections.

  WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships

• B2B forms and tables

  Quick order, requisition list and quote forms with missing labels and header cells.

  WCAG 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions

• Language on storefront views

  Translated store views that do not set the page language correctly.

  WCAG 3.1.1 Language of Page

• Search and recommendation widgets

  Live search overlays and carousels without names, roles or announcements.

  WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value

How the ADA Applies to Your Adobe Commerce Site

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses open to the public to give people with disabilities equal access to their goods and services. The Department of Justice states that this covers a business's web content as well as its physical locations ({ADA.gov web guidance (opens in a new tab)}). The law does not name a technical standard for private websites, so courts, settlements and demand letters tend to point to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is why this checker uses it.

• 3,117 website accessibility lawsuits filed in U.S. federal court in 2025, up 27% from 2024 Seyfarth Shaw, ADA Title III blog (opens in a new tab)
• 5,000+ digital accessibility lawsuits filed across federal and state courts in 2025 UsableNet 2025 year-end report (opens in a new tab)
• 1,427 of those 2025 lawsuits were against companies that had already been sued UsableNet 2025 year-end report (opens in a new tab)
• 64% of companies sued in the first half of 2025 had annual revenue under $25 million UsableNet 2025 midyear report (opens in a new tab)

None of this depends on which platform you use: a claim names the barrier on the page, not the software behind it. Read more in our ADA website compliance guide and the general ADA compliance checker.

Adobe Commerce ADA Compliance Steps

1. Run the ADA check above on your homepage, and then on a page of each type you publish.
2. Scan every store view and language, not just the main storefront, and keep a dated record of each.
3. Set content rules for Page Builder: real headings, alt text on all images and descriptive buttons.
4. Check B2B account pages as a logged-in buyer would, by hand, because the free scan only reaches public pages.
5. Rescan to confirm each fix, and keep dated records. AccessBell Pro monitors up to 500 URLs per domain every day and emails you when something new fails.

What an Automated Adobe Commerce ADA Check Can and Cannot Do

Automated testing finds a large share of the machine-detectable WCAG failures, such as missing alt text, unlabeled fields, low contrast and broken ARIA. It cannot judge whether alt text is accurate, whether a keyboard path makes sense or whether a screen reader user can complete a purchase. Test your key journeys by hand as well, and read our methodology for exactly what runs.

No tool, including this one, can certify that a Adobe Commerce site is ADA compliant or protect you from a claim. Treat a scan as evidence of ongoing effort, and speak to a lawyer if you receive a demand letter.
