Make your online store more user-friendly and accessible to all visitors with the Accessibility Module for PrestaShop.

What is the Accessibility Module for PrestaShop?

The Accessibility Module for PrestaShop is an add-on for PrestaShop 8 & 9 that allows you to add an accessibility toolbar to the frontend of your store. This way, your visitors –including people with disabilities– can navigate and interact with your site more easily. This module is fully customizable and can be adapted to match your brand.

Main Features

  • Accessibility toolbar: Can be enabled/disabled from the back office with a single click.
  • Color selection: Set the color of the button, panel header, and reset button to match your corporate identity.
  • Button position: Choose whether the button appears at the bottom right or bottom left of the screen.
  • Compact Panel: Alternative view with fewer icons and more text for a cleaner experience.
  • Full feature control: Decide which accessibility features are available to your users.

Available Features for Users

The module allows you to enable/disable any of the following features:

  • Change text size
  • High contrast
  • Adjust spacing
  • Stop animations
  • Dyslexia-friendly font
  • Highlight links
  • Reading guide
  • Big cursor
  • Hide images
  • Grayscale mode
  • Text-to-speech (voice reading)

These settings are stored in the visitor’s browser so they remain active while they browse your store.

Benefits for Merchants

  • WCAG & EN 301 549 compliance: Meet international requirements for digital accessibility.
  • Enhanced user experience: Make your e-shop more usable for everyone, regardless of their needs.
  • Competitive advantage: Show that you respect and support all your customers.
  • Increased conversions: Users who can navigate easily are more likely to complete a purchase.

How It Works on the Frontend

Once enabled, the accessibility button will appear in the position you selected. With a single click, it opens the panel with all the features you’ve enabled.

  • Activating features: The user clicks the respective button to toggle an enhancement on or off.
  • Visual indicator: Active buttons are highlighted so users know which features are enabled.
  • Reset: A “Reset All Settings” button restores the website to its default state.

Conclusion

The Accessibility Module is the ideal tool to enhance user experience and demonstrate that your e-shop respects and supports all visitors. Simple to use and easy to manage, it helps make your store more accessible, more user-friendly, and more competitive.
