E-commerce is the single largest category of ADA website lawsuits. Every product image, every filter dropdown, every checkout step is a potential violation. If a blind or motor-impaired customer cannot browse your products and complete a purchase, you are discriminating — and the law gives them recourse.
Online stores are complex, dynamic, and full of content generated by non-technical staff — product descriptions added daily, images uploaded without alt text, sale banners with flashing animations, checkout flows built by third parties. Violations multiply as your store grows.
Shopify stores accounted for 32% of all ADA lawsuits in early 2025. WordPress WooCommerce stores are equally exposed. The platform doesn't protect you — your content and code do.
1 in 4 businesses sued in 2024 had been sued before. If you settle but don't fix the underlying violations, you remain a target — and repeat lawsuits often demand higher settlements.
If an inaccessible checkout widget, product review plugin, or chat tool runs on your domain, you are liable — even if a third party built it. ADA liability follows the domain, not the developer.
Thousands of product images with filenames like 'IMG_4829.jpg' instead of descriptive alt text.
Credit card, shipping, and billing forms missing proper labels — a screen reader user cannot complete a purchase.
Price filters, category dropdowns, and sort menus that cannot be reached or operated by keyboard.
Red 'SALE' text on orange backgrounds, light overlays on product photos — classic contrast failures.
Rotating image carousels that cannot be paused disorient screen reader users and violate WCAG 2.2.2.
Custom dropdown filters, star rating widgets, and quantity selectors with no ARIA roles are invisible to assistive technology.
A motor-impaired customer uses only a keyboard to shop. They can browse products but the 'Add to Cart' button requires a mouse click — keyboard focus never reaches it. They file an ADA complaint. Your $50,000 store just cost you $40,000 in legal fees.
Your WooCommerce store imported 10,000 products from a supplier CSV. None had alt text. A single automated scan finds all 10,000 violations. The demand letter arrives two weeks later.
Your checkout uses a third-party payment widget. The credit card number field has no visible label. Screen reader announces 'text field' with no context. A blind customer cannot complete the purchase — and cannot shop at your store at all.
