Typeform on Shopify — accessibility integration audit
Accessibility hot-spots in Typeform
Iframe title attribute
Auto-fixWCAG: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
Embedded form iframe needs a title attribute (e.g., title="Customer feedback survey"). Auto-fix sets it from the form name.
Iframe focus trap return
Partial auto-fixWCAG: 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap
When the form completes, focus must return to the embed container or to a "Thank you" status region — not be left trapped in the iframe. Auto-fix patches the postMessage handler.
FAQ
Is Typeform accessible by default on Shopify?
Typeform's vendor-default templates pass standard accessibility checks; merchant customization and the structural patterns the app injects are where regressions appear. The hot-spots above are the predictable failure modes when a real Shopify storefront is audited end to end with Typeform installed.
Does AccessComply fix Typeform accessibility issues automatically?
Yes — for the categories marked auto-fix above. AccessComply scans the live storefront with Typeform active, identifies the WCAG failures the app surface contributes, and writes source-code fixes to your theme via the Shopify Admin API. Fixes that touch the Typeform layer directly are flagged for Typeform support follow-up.
Should I uninstall Typeform for accessibility reasons?
No. Typeform is a widely-used Shopify app and the accessibility issues are addressable without removing the app. The hot-spots above are predictable structural patterns — every app that does what Typeform does has a similar list. The fix is to remediate at the storefront level, not to swap apps.
Will fixing Typeform accessibility break my brand customizations?
No. AccessComply's fixes are scoped to specific WCAG-relevant attributes (aria-label, role, autocomplete, focus styles, contrast on text) and do not change merchant copy, layout, or branding. If a fix produces a regression, the post-fix re-scan triggers automatic rollback to the pre-fix state.
Do I need Typeform-specific permissions for AccessComply to scan?
No additional permissions. AccessComply scans the rendered storefront the same way Googlebot or any visitor does — through Playwright + axe-core. The scan reads the same HTML the customer sees, including everything Typeform injects at runtime.
Scan your store with Typeform installed
AccessComply scans the live storefront — the same HTML Typeform renders for your customers — and writes source-code fixes for the hot-spots above.
