FAQ
Is Boost AI Search & Discovery accessible by default on Shopify?
AccessComply has not certified Boost AI Search & Discovery vendor-default templates. This guide lists predictable rendered-storefront risks based on the UI patterns Boost AI Search & Discovery commonly injects, plus the issues merchants often introduce through customization. The only reliable answer for your store is a live scan with Boost AI Search & Discovery active.
Does AccessComply fix Boost AI Search & Discovery accessibility issues automatically?
Not necessarily. AccessComply can report supported automated issues in the live output it can reach and may suggest a fix only when the affected source maps safely to a Shopify workflow you control. It cannot directly rewrite Boost Commerce code; vendor-owned output requires Boost Commerce or another responsible developer.
Should I uninstall Boost AI Search & Discovery for accessibility reasons?
Do not make that decision from this guide alone. Reproduce the barrier, ask Boost Commerce for its current accessibility and fix guidance, test alternatives, and consider the app’s business function. Some issues may be configurable; vendor-owned barriers may require a vendor fix or an accessible alternative.
Will fixing Boost AI Search & Discovery accessibility break my brand customizations?
AccessComply limits supported fixes to specific WCAG-relevant attributes and styles and shows you what will change. No automated change can promise zero brand impact. A follow-up check runs; unresolved or newly introduced issues are marked for review and the saved original remains available. Restoring requires your confirmation because an older value can overwrite later theme or content edits.
Do I need Boost AI Search & Discovery-specific permissions for AccessComply to scan?
A public scan does not require Boost AI Search & Discovery-specific credentials, but it reaches only public states the crawler can load. Authenticated, cross-origin, delayed, personalized, or interaction-dependent app states may be incomplete and require hands-on testing.
Scan your store with Boost AI Search & Discovery installed
AccessComply can report supported automated issues in public states it reaches. You may be able to approve suggestions that safely match source you control; third-party code remains with the responsible vendor or developer.
