Hi,

The EU Directive on the accessibility requirements for products and services sets out the technical requirements for accessibility and the information requirements of certain products and services in a uniform manner. So in this case a woocommerce shop needs to fulfill the requirements for this european Law. This is quite not easy to implement till June 2025. Ist there a working group, who modified the woocommerce online shops and makes it accesible for this law? Or should this be done by the shop owner with special plugins or by hardcode programmers? What is the future plan for woocommerce?

Best Regards
Heinz

Hi @kaschwei,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Accessibility is very important to us, and there has been lot of work for accessibility in last few releases, especially in WooCommerce 9.0 (https://developer.woocommerce.com/2024/06/18/woocommerce-9-0-our-most-accessible-checkout-and-much-more/).

Ist there a working group, who modified the woocommerce online shops and makes it accesible for this law?

We track accessibility (and other bugs/enhancements) in GitHub -> https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce. If you notice something that’s not accessible or in compliance with EU directive, I’d recommend opening an issue on the Github so that we can track and address it in time: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new/choose.

Let us know if you need any additional help.

Thanks!
