As a business, you want to make sure your online store is easy to navigate and accessible to all potential customers. But, it can be difficult to thoroughly integrate website accessibility if you’re not an experienced web developer. Barriano’s Shopify widget can help make your site more compliant with ADA regulations and WCAG standards. This plugin provides seamless integration of Barriano’s innovative technology to move your Shopify website toward improved ADA and WCAG accessibility compliance levels. Adding the accessibility plugin is quick and easy: do it automatically through the Shopify App Store.
How to Automatically Install Barriano’s Accessibility Plugin from the Shopify App Store
Step 1: Find Barriano in the Shopify Store
Search for “Barriano” in the Shopify App Store. Select the “Barriano Website Accessibility” option. Then, select “Add app,” followed by “Install app.”
Step 2: Check Your Email for Your Credentials
If this is your first time using the Barriano widget, we will send a welcome email with your Barriano username, password, and code. You can skip this step and use your existing login credentials if you already have an account.
Step 3: Upgrade for More Features
This is the app’s default free version. If you’d like your Shopify website to achieve higher ADA and WCAG compliance standards, you can upgrade to the AI-powered version starting at $49/month by clicking the green “Upgrade Now” button.
Step 4: Enable the Widget – Step 1
Click “Open Theme Editor to enable the widget,” as shown below.
Step 5: Enable the Widget – Step 2
Toggle the Barriano widget to ON and click “Save.”
Step 6: Customize Your Widget
You can now customize the type, color, size, and position of your Barriano icon. Be sure to click “Save your settings,” or your customizations will not be saved.
Step 7: Generate an Accessibility Statement
To generate an accessibility statement, select the “Accessibility Statement” tab found on the blue and white menu bar at the top of the page. Fill in your details and select “Generate My Accessibility Statement.” Your accessibility statement will be sent to your email inbox.
Step 8: Preview Your Website
To double-check that everything has been correctly installed and is working properly, preview your website by selecting the eye icon in the left menu. Your previewed site should open automatically.
