Mitigate legal risk in a high-stakes digital landscape
Web accessibility isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s also a legal requirement in many parts of the world. Laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, the European Accessibility Act (EAA), and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) all require digital experiences be made accessible to everyone.
For eCommerce websites, the legal risk is enhanced.
Because they often feature more complex functionality, like dynamic content, layered navigation, and multi-step checkout flows, online stores tend to present more accessibility barriers for users with disabilities.
The accessiBe extension helps your nopCommerce store conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) , the standard referenced by many of today’s most prominent accessibility laws, including the ADA.

Reach more customers and outrank your competitors
Making your nopCommerce store accessible isn’t just about meeting standards: it’s a smart business move.People with disabilities and their families represent a global spending power of over $13 trillion. When your store is accessible, you’re better positioned to serve this massive and often underserved market.
Accessibility improvements also contribute to stronger search visibility, as many of the same practices that enhance usability, like semantic structure, alt text, and clear navigation, are key factors in SEO performance.
Prioritizing accessibility also reflects well on your brand. Demonstrating a commitment to inclusion shows that your business is responsible, customer-focused, and aligned with the values today’s consumers care about. It’s a decision that builds trust, and strengthens your reputation over time.
