FAQ
Is PageFly accessible by default on Shopify?
AccessComply has not certified PageFly vendor-default templates. This guide lists predictable rendered-storefront risks based on the UI patterns PageFly commonly injects, plus the issues merchants often introduce through customization. The only reliable answer for your store is a live scan with PageFly active.
Does AccessComply fix PageFly 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 PageFly code; vendor-owned output requires PageFly or another responsible developer.
Should I uninstall PageFly for accessibility reasons?
Do not make that decision from this guide alone. Reproduce the barrier, ask PageFly 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 PageFly 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 PageFly-specific permissions for AccessComply to scan?
A public scan does not require PageFly-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 PageFly 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.
