19 checkpoints across 5 sections — General Shopify Store Accessibility Tips, Accessible Theme Customizations, Liquid Templates and Accessibility, Recommendations for Apps and Third-Party Embeds and Checkout Accessibility Considerations.

Some items are content or settings changes you can make yourself. Others — semantic markup, focus management, custom components — usually need a developer. Working through the list is how you find out which of the two your gaps are.

No checklist can promise that, and neither can any single tool. A checklist plus an automated scan catches a large share of the common issues; full conformance also needs manual keyboard and screen-reader testing. Use this to find and prioritise gaps, then verify with a scan.
