Magento stores can be complex. There are products, categories, filters, customer accounts, checkout steps, extensions and integrations all working together. That complexity can make accessibility harder to keep track of. Zylyn helps you find accessibility barriers across your Magento store, understand what needs attention and give your team a practical way to fix them. You don't have to figure it all out yourself.

Why accessibility matters
A small change in a complex store can affect the whole customer journey.
These problems aren't always obvious from the screen.
And in a large ecommerce store, waiting for someone to report them isn't a great testing strategy.
What changes
Your development team releases a new feature.
A new extension is installed.
A product attribute changes.
The checkout gets updated.
A new promotional banner goes live.
Everything looks fine during a normal review.
What it can affect
But a customer using a keyboard might suddenly be unable to reach a control.
A screen reader might announce a product option without enough context.
A new modal might move focus somewhere unexpected.
What we test
We test the journeys your customers actually depend on.
Keyboard navigation
Can customers browse categories, use filters, select products and complete checkout without a mouse?
Screen reader experience
Can people using NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver understand the page structure, product information and controls?
Product pages
Can customers understand product names, prices, descriptions, images, attributes and available options?
Category pages and filters
Can customers move through product listings and use filters without getting stuck?
Navigation and search
Can customers find their way around the store and search for products without unnecessary barriers?
Cart and checkout
Can customers understand fields, instructions, errors and controls throughout the purchasing process?
Forms and account areas
Can customers create accounts, sign in, manage information and interact with forms using assistive technology?
Extensions and integrations
Have Magento extensions, widgets or third-party integrations introduced new accessibility problems?
Magento has its own accessibility challenges
Your Magento store isn't just Magento.
It's the storefront, theme, product catalog, extensions, custom development, integrations and content your team manages. Each part can affect the customer experience.
Your theme
Changes to the theme can affect headings, navigation, buttons, forms and keyboard focus.
Your product catalog
Large catalogs often contain different product types, attributes, variations and content. That information still needs to be understandable and usable.
Your filters
Layered navigation and product filters can become difficult to use when keyboard interaction or focus isn't handled properly.
Your extensions
An extension might add useful functionality while introducing a new accessibility barrier.
Your custom development
Custom features need to work with the rest of the store, including keyboard and assistive technology users.
Your checkout
A checkout journey can involve multiple fields, steps, messages and interactive controls. Each one needs to work together.
Your integrations
Payment tools, search systems, reviews, chat and other integrations can change the experience beyond the core Magento platform.
Automated and expert testing
A scan can find a lot. It can't find everything.
Automated testing
Automated testing is useful, especially for a large Magento store. It can quickly identify many common issues and help your team understand where problems may exist.
But a large number of automated results doesn't necessarily tell you what is most important to a customer.
A keyboard user still needs to move through the store.
A screen reader user still needs to understand what's happening.
And someone completing a purchase still needs to be able to get from product to checkout without hitting a barrier.
Expert testing
That's why Zylyn combines automated checks with expert testing using:
NVDA
JAWS
VoiceOver
Keyboard testing
Manual WCAG review
We look beyond the error count and focus on the experience.
Six steps. The first three give you a clear starting point. The last three help you keep improving.
A clear starting point
Step 01
Find what needs testing
We identify the important pages and customer journeys across your Magento store, including navigation, product pages, categories, filters, cart and checkout.
Step 02
Get a baseline
Automated checks and expert testing give you a starting point and a clearer picture of where accessibility barriers exist.
Step 03
Understand the findings
We review the results and focus on issues that have a meaningful effect on customers rather than simply handing over a long list of errors.
Keep improving
Step 04
Fix what matters
Your development team gets practical information about what needs to change and where to start.
Step 05
Test the changes
Once fixes are made, we check them again using the appropriate testing methods and assistive technologies.
Step 06
Keep checking
Your Magento store will continue to change through releases, extensions, catalog updates and custom development.
Regular testing helps catch new accessibility problems as they appear.
A week in practice
Say your development team releases a new product filter on Tuesday.
1
The filter works with a mouse, but keyboard users can't easily reach or operate all of its controls.
2
Testing identifies the problem and documents the affected interaction.
3
Your development team gets clear guidance on what needs to change.
4
The filter is updated and tested again using keyboard and screen reader testing.
Without that check, customers using keyboards could have been left with a much smaller selection of products to choose from.
What you get
You don't just get a list of errors.
You get something your team can actually work with.
Clear test results
See what was tested and where accessibility barriers were found.
Issue details
Understand what is happening, where it happens and why it matters.
Prioritized findings
Know what deserves attention first instead of treating every issue as equally important.
Developer guidance
Give your development team practical information they can use when making changes.
Retesting
Check that the changes have actually addressed the problem.
Evidence and reporting

FAQ
Magento accessibility testing FAQs
What is Magento accessibility testing?
It is a review of how accessible your Magento store is for people with different disabilities and assistive technology needs. Testing can include automated checks, manual review, keyboard testing and screen reader testing.
Why does my Magento store need accessibility testing?
Magento stores can change frequently through releases, extensions, catalog updates and custom development. Those changes can introduce accessibility barriers that aren't obvious during a normal visual review.
Can automated tools test my Magento store?
Automated tools can identify many common issues, but they cannot evaluate everything. Manual testing is important for keyboard interaction, focus, screen reader output and important customer journeys.
Do you test Magento themes?
Yes. Themes can affect navigation, headings, buttons, forms, product layouts and other parts of the customer experience.
Do you test Magento extensions?
Yes. Extensions can add important functionality, but they can also introduce new accessibility barriers.
Do you test product filters?
Yes. Product filters and layered navigation can be included in the testing scope, including keyboard and screen reader interaction.
Do you test the Magento checkout?
Yes. Checkout is an important part of the customer journey. Testing can look at fields, labels, instructions, errors, focus and the ability to complete the purchase using assistive technology.
Do you test custom Magento functionality?
Yes. Custom features can be included where they affect important customer interactions.
Which accessibility standard do you test against?
WCAG 2.2 AA is the working standard for Zylyn's accessibility testing.
What happens after you find accessibility issues?
You receive documented findings with practical information about what needs attention. Your team can then make the changes, followed by retesting where required.
How often should a Magento store be tested?
It depends on how frequently your store changes. Stores with regular releases, extension updates, catalog changes or custom development can benefit from ongoing accessibility testing rather than relying on a single audit.
