Directive (EU) 2019/882 · in force 17 months
Your store fails at the step they always test.
The European Accessibility Act covers e-commerce selling into the EU. Not the homepage — the checkout. Kurbcut produces the compliance pack: every WCAG 2.2 AA failure in your buy path, the exact fix, and a statement you can publish. $500 flat, 48 hours.
No critical finding, no charge. Technical audit — not legal advice.
Why this matters now
- 28 Jun 2025
- The EAA started applying to EU e-commerce. It has not paused since.
- $1M
- FTC order against accessiBe, April 2025 — overlays may no longer claim they make a site compliant.
- €200k
- Reported national penalty cap in several member states; others scale with turnover.
- $1.5k–25k
- Typical quoted range for a manual WCAG audit. Before remediation.

Generic advice is worthless. This is what we send.
Every audit tool on the market tells you to “add alt text”. That is not a deliverable — it is a search result.
Kurbcut writes the fix into your actual codebase and your actual platform: the Liquid section, the WooCommerce template, the React component. With the selector, the line reference, and an honest effort estimate your developer cannot argue with.
A finding you can hand to a developer and get shipped is worth $500. A list of rule IDs is worth nothing.

What this is, and what it is not
Kurbcut produces a technical accessibility audit against WCAG 2.2 AA and EN 301 549, plus remediation guidance. It is not legal advice, and it does not certify compliance — nobody can, and any vendor promising it has been told to stop by a regulator. What you get is documented evidence, a plan, and the honesty to say which failures remain.
