Which Shopify accessibility issues should you fix first?

Fix blockers in the purchase path first: controls without names, keyboard traps, inaccessible variant selectors, silent form errors, and cart actions that assistive technology cannot operate. Next address sitewide template defects, then content issues. Prioritizing by customer harm and recurrence clears the largest risk with the fewest theme changes.

Start with blocked tasks

A missing decorative image description is different from an unlabeled checkout control. Begin where a customer cannot browse, select, add, or buy, because those defects create immediate harm and usually appear in demand letters.

Then fix shared components

A header, product card, or modal defect can repeat across hundreds of URLs. Repairing the shared Liquid section or app component removes many instances at once and gives the team a clean baseline to monitor.
