For WooCommerce stores
Accessibility checks for WooCommerce stores
Online stores are where most US accessibility lawsuits land, and e-commerce is one of the services the European Accessibility Act covers. Lumtera checks your product content as you write it and your shop, cart and checkout as customers see them — without an overlay.

How it works
A workflow you can repeat
-
Scan every product and page
Check all content in one click. Product descriptions and short descriptions are checked by default, with missing alt text, vague links and skipped headings listed by product.
-
Review the pages customers buy through
Open a product page, the cart and the checkout in review mode: real contrast from your theme, small buttons, focus hidden behind a sticky header or cookie bar, and a keyboard walk.
-
Fix at the source
Approve each fix before it is saved, with undo. Problems in the header, footer or menus are fixed once, where they come from.
-
Keep it that way (Pro)
Check the shop, cart, checkout and My Account on a schedule, test the classic checkout form without creating an order, and get an alert when a new error is published.
The free plugin
Start free
Everything you need to find and fix issues in the store is in the free plugin, with no page limits.
Site-wide report and bulk checking
Free
Check every post, page, product and site part, then see the score, errors, review coverage and the issues that repeat across the site. Export it as CSV.
Review mode on the live page
Free
Open review mode from the admin bar to see issues outlined on the published page, then check the whole page, the keyboard and a screen reader preview.
Keyboard walk and widget tests
Free
Review mode's Keyboard tab numbers every Tab stop on the page, flags focus you cannot see, and opens menus, dialogs and tabs from the keyboard.
Fixes you approve, with undo
Free
Fix saved content from the Content report or the editor: see the change before and after, edit it, approve it, and undo it later.
Alt text manager
Free
Every Media Library image with missing or doubtful alt text in one list. Describe an image once and add the text to the posts that show it.
Contrast everywhere, with a palette fixer
Free
Contrast measured on gradients, images, text shadows, controls and focus rings, plus a block editor fix that suggests the nearest passing color from your palette.
Lumtera Pro
What Pro adds
Pro checks the pages your theme and WooCommerce build together, and keeps checking them.
Page checks for key pages and templates
Pro
Check many live pages in one run, at desktop and phone width, on the same audit engine as review mode, and keep every result for reports.
Scheduled page checks
Pro
Your key pages and templates, found for you and checked daily or weekly as a logged-out visitor, with an alert only when new errors appear.
Form tests
Pro
Submit a form empty in a hidden frame, safely, and see whether its errors are shown, announced and linked to their fields.
Signed-in checks
Pro One role on Personal
Check My account, cart, checkout and members' pages as a view-only test user with the role you choose, such as a WooCommerce customer: one role on Personal and Growth, any number of roles on Agency and Unlimited.
Email and Slack alerts
Pro
Hear about it when a publish adds new errors or feedback goes past its target, never twice for the same one, plus a Monday summary and a score history.
Tamper-evident evidence log and evidence pack
Pro
A dated record of scans, manual tests, statement changes, fixes and feedback, hash-chained so changes can be detected, with a pack you can print or export.
The plan that fits
Personal, $149 a year
One store is one site: the Personal plan has page and scheduled checks of the shop, form tests of the classic checkout, signed-in checks as a customer and the evidence log.
14-day refund (opens in a new tab)Keeps working if you don't renew
What Lumtera cannot do for you
Automated checks find many common barriers, not all of them, and payment fields embedded from a gateway are outside what Lumtera can change. Before you call the store done, complete a real purchase with only the keyboard, then again with a screen reader.
Questions
Something else on your mind? Contact support
Can Lumtera check my checkout without placing an order?
Yes. In the free plugin, add a product to your cart and open the checkout in review mode. Lumtera Pro's page checks add a sample product for you, and its form tests submit the classic checkout with required fields empty to check the error messages, with safeguards so no order is created.
Does it check product variations and galleries?
Product descriptions and short descriptions are checked as content. Variation selectors, galleries and badges come from your theme and WooCommerce, so they are checked on the rendered product page in review mode, and on a schedule in Pro.
Will it slow my store down?
No checks run for shoppers. Checks run in the editor, the admin and review mode, and Pro's scheduled checks run in the background.
Can it check pages a signed-in customer sees?
In the free plugin, open My Account in review mode while logged in as a test customer. Lumtera Pro checks signed-in pages on a schedule as a view-only test user: one role, such as Customer, on Personal and Growth, and any number of roles on Agency and Unlimited.
