Frequently Asked Questions: E-commerce Accessibility
Why do e-commerce sites get so many accessibility lawsuits?
E-commerce sites are heavily targeted because they're clearly 'places of public accommodation,' have high traffic, and accessibility issues directly prevent purchases—a clear discrimination case.
What makes a shopping cart accessible?
Accessible shopping carts need keyboard navigation, screen reader-friendly product details, clear quantity adjustments, accessible remove buttons, and running totals announced to assistive technology.
How does accessibility affect e-commerce conversion rates?
Accessibility improvements often increase conversion rates for all users by 20-30%. Clearer forms, better navigation, and improved mobile experience benefit everyone.
