Know your store is compliant, before the fines do.
The European Accessibility Act is enforced now, and 40 to 60% of the violations on a typical product page come from the apps you installed. HewnScan audits your storefront against EAA and WCAG, names the app behind each one, and keeps watching, so a quiet change never leaves you exposed.
See which app broke it.
Every other tool hands you a list of errors. HewnScan traces each violation back to the app that injected it, so instead of "37 issues" you get "23 of them come from this app". Disable it, or send the vendor the exact finding.
- Violations grouped by the app responsible
- Plain-language finding: what, why, and how to fix
- Every finding mapped to WCAG 2.1 and EN 301 549
It slips quietly. We tell you.
A theme edit, an app update, and you are out of readiness without touching a thing. HewnScan re-scans on a schedule and emails you the moment the score regresses, with the change that caused it.
- Weekly re-scans on Pro, daily on Agency
- Email alert the moment the score drops
- Score history, so you can prove the trend
Something to hand over.
Readiness you cannot show does not help in a dispute. Export the audit as a PDF for your records or your lawyer, and generate an accessibility statement, following the EU model, to publish on your store.
- PDF report, white-labelled on Agency
- Accessibility statement generator
- Dated evidence of the effort you made
Deterministic, and mapped to the law.
26 checks
Document, structure, images, forms, interaction, media and theme colour contrast, each mapped to a WCAG 2.1 A/AA success criterion and the EN 301 549 clause the EAA points to.
Every page a shopper sees
Home, first collection, first product and cart in one pass. It even scans password-protected stores, so you can audit before you launch.
No overlay, no guessing
Same input, same answer, every time. HewnScan reports what is wrong; it never injects an overlay, because overlays do not make you compliant and the case law says so.
The Act is already enforced.
The European Accessibility Act has applied since June 2025. If you sell into the EU, your storefront has to meet WCAG 2.1 AA under EN 301 549, and the liability is yours even for the markup an installed app injects. Fines run into the hundreds of thousands, and the first complaints are already being filed. HewnScan is the fastest way to know where you stand and what to fix first.
Score your storefront in seconds.
Paste your Shopify URL for an instant accessibility check of your home page. No install, nothing stored, just a taste of what the app does.
Automated checks cover part of WCAG. This is guidance for EAA readiness, not a compliance certification.
This is one page. The app watches your whole store.
Installed in your store, HewnScan scans every page a shopper sees, names the app behind each violation, and keeps watching, so a newly installed app cannot quietly break your EAA compliance and leave you exposed.

Before you scan.
Is this a legal accessibility certification?
No. HewnScan is automated guidance for EAA readiness. Automated testing catches a large share of accessibility issues but not all of them, so treat it as the fastest way to reduce risk and document your effort, not as a legal sign-off.
What is the European Accessibility Act?
An EU law, in force since June 2025, that requires e-commerce to be accessible to people with disabilities, to WCAG 2.1 AA under EN 301 549. It applies to anyone selling into the EU, wherever the business is based. Very small businesses are partly exempt, but the average store is not.
Does it fix the issues, or just find them?
It finds and explains them, with a plain-language fix and the app responsible, so you or the vendor can apply the change. It never injects an accessibility overlay: overlays do not make a store compliant, and stores that rely on them still get sued.
What does it need access to?
It reads your public storefront the way a shopper's browser would, plus your theme files, which is how it can name the app behind an app-block violation. It does not touch customer data or orders.
Which plan do I need?
Free checks your home page. Pro audits every page a shopper sees, adds app attribution, monitoring and the PDF and statement. Agency is for studios auditing several client stores, with white-label reports.
