What it is
The Accessibility Toolbar module adds skip navigation links and a customer-facing accessibility toolbar to your PrestaShop store.
Its features target conformance with WCAG 2.2 AA and support alignment with EN 301 549, the European accessibility standard for ICT products and services.
Installing a module does not guarantee full compliance on its own. It is one part of a wider process that includes reviewing content, templates, contrast, keyboard navigation, forms and real-world testing.
Why accessibility matters for your online store
Users with visual, motor or cognitive disabilities can run into barriers when they navigate a site, search for products and complete a purchase. An accessible store reaches a wider audience, improves the overall user experience and strengthens the semantic structure of the content.
Key features
- Skip navigation links: keyboard users can skip directly to the main content, bypassing repetitive navigation
- Customer-facing accessibility toolbar: a configurable toolbar with controls such as text size adjustment, contrast modes and cursor enhancement
- WCAG 2.2 AA alignment: the features target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines at the AA level
- EN 301 549 support: helps your store work toward the European harmonised accessibility standard for ICT products and services
Use cases
- Stores that want to help keyboard users reach the main content quickly

- Stores working toward WCAG 2.2 AA and EN 301 549
Benefits for the merchant
