With our Platform for OpenCart, you can make your online store truly inclusive through a fast, seamless integration using a code snippet. Axessible automates accessibility adjustments aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA and the EAA, without affecting your store’s design or performance.
The result: An accessible, engaging shopping experience for all users, reduced legal risk, and improved conversion rates.
Getting started is simple—just insert the script, publish, and verify. After that, you can further customize the accessible interface to match your brand.
How to Integrate Accessibility Features on OpenCart
Enhancing your OpenCart store’s accessibility is straightforward and can be done in a few steps:
Log in to your OpenCart admin panel.
Navigate to Design > Theme Editor.
Select your current theme and open the common/footer.twig file (or footer.tpl for older versions).
Paste the accessibility code snippet provided by Axessible just before the closing </body> tag.
Save the changes and refresh your store.
Visit your site and test to ensure accessibility features are active.
If your theme offers a custom code or custom JavaScript section in the admin panel, you can also paste the snippet there for easier integration.
That’s it! Your OpenCart store is now equipped for improved accessibility and compliance. You can further personalize the accessible interface to reflect your brand and guarantee an inclusive shopping experience for every customer.
