What is Shopware planning for more accessibility?
Shopware has set itself the goal of being completely ready before the deadline set by the Accessibility Act. This will allow our merchants to make the necessary adjustments without any pressure.
We don’t yet meet all the requirements of WCAG 2.1 AA, but we’re determined to close the gaps as quickly as possible. We plan to be completely compliant with these stipulations by the end of the year at the latest. This includes training for our staff and extensive software testing that we aim to perform ahead of time with people with disabilities.
Shopware users can expect a product update that includes adaptions explicitly aimed at reinforcing accessibility. The new enhancements will make Shopware more accessible and help online merchants make the necessary adjustments in their online stores.
