EU Accessibility Act 2025 Compliance

[Chris_Push]

I'm looking for details of what actions if any Shopify are undertaking to comply with the EU Accessibility Act 2025 implementation?

I haven't been able to find any specific information to date.

Hi,

So far, Shopify hasn’t released any detailed information on how they plan to comply with the EU Accessibility Act (EAA) ahead of its 2025 implementation. The EAA will require online platforms, including e-commerce sites, to meet accessibility standards, ensuring digital services are usable for people with disabilities.

Since Shopify provides the infrastructure for many online stores, they will likely need to update their platform to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards. However, individual store owners may still be responsible for ensuring their own storefronts comply, especially regarding theme customization, third-party apps, and checkout processes.

If you’re selling in the EU, it’s a good idea to start reviewing your store’s accessibility now. While Shopify may roll out updates, EaseCert (https://easecert.com/) provides compliance guidance if you need assistance with regulatory requirements for expanding into the EU.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Chris
