Industry guides
Shopify accessibility by industry
Each vertical has its own accessibility hot-spots. Fashion fails on alt text; beauty on captions; food on allergen disclosure; electronics on spec tables. Pick your industry for the failure list and the exact fix.
Fashion & Apparel
Fashion Shopify stores fail accessibility most often on three fronts: product galleries with missing alt text, low-contrast on-trend muted color palettes, and size/variant pickers built from `<div>` swatches that keyboard users cannot reach. AccessComply auto-fixes all three at the source-code level — alt text via AI, contrast via brand-aligned color shifts, swatch pickers via Liquid + ARIA rewrites.
Beauty & Skincare
Beauty Shopify stores share fashion's visual-heavy product page problem and add a video and quiz layer that complicates keyboard navigation. The top failures are missing transcripts on tutorial videos, color-contrast issues on lifestyle photography overlays, and accessible-authentication gaps in customer-account flows. AccessComply scans video metadata, fixes contrast, and patches authentication compliance for WCAG 2.2.
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage Shopify stores have a unique compliance load: ingredient/allergen disclosures must be programmatically associated with their products (1.3.1), nutrition tables must use real `<table>` markup (1.3.1 again), and subscription / recurring-delivery flows must be keyboard-reachable end to end. AccessComply rewrites Liquid templates so ingredient lists, allergen badges, and subscription flows are screen-reader navigable.
Electronics & Tech
Electronics Shopify stores fail most often on dense spec tables (improper table semantics), comparison matrices (data not associated with rows), and product-configurator flows (custom JS without ARIA). The conversion-killer: zoom-in product galleries built without proper focus management, which trap keyboard users inside the gallery overlay.
