Accessibility Statement

What this means in practice

• Keyboard navigation — every interaction (buttons, menus, modals, tables) can be operated without a mouse. A skip-to-content link lets keyboard users bypass repetitive navigation.
• Screen reader support — all dialogs, form fields, icon buttons, and dynamic content are annotated with ARIA labels, roles, and live regions. Tested with VoiceOver (macOS) and NVDA (Windows).
• Focus indicators — every tabbable element shows a 2-pixel green focus ring so keyboard users always know where they are.
• Reduced motion — visitors whose OS requests reduced motion (vestibular accessibility preference) see static interfaces instead of cascade pulses, slide-ins, and other animations.
• Colour contrast — all text meets the 4.5:1 (normal) and 3:1 (large) WCAG AA ratios against its background. Our Shopify-green CTA on white measures 4.55:1.
• Semantic HTML — landmarks (main, nav, aside) let assistive technology jump directly to the right region of the page.

Critical flows — WCAG AAA

For the workflows where accuracy matters most, we exceed AA and target the stricter AAA level:

• • Onboarding wizard — first-impression flow for new merchants
• • Billing & plan selection — irreversible commerce decisions

How we verify

• • Automated audits with eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y on every commit.
• • Manual keyboard-only walk-throughs of every merchant flow before release.
• • Screen reader smoke tests with VoiceOver + NVDA.
• • Lighthouse a11y score ≥ 90 on every public route.
