Why alt text matters
Screen reader users rely on alt text to understand product images. Missing or weak alt text can make products harder to evaluate.
Common Shopify issue
Stores often upload many product images quickly, but forget to add useful descriptions for accessibility and search clarity.
What to fix first
Start with product images, collection hero images, checkout buttons, forms, and promotional banners.
Shopify alt text best practices
Describe the product clearly
Good alt text explains what the product image shows, such as color, style, material, or important visual details.
Avoid keyword stuffing
Alt text should help users understand the image. Do not fill it with repeated SEO keywords.
Do not leave buttons unnamed
Product pages also need clear button names like “Add to cart”, “Choose size”, or “Buy now”.
Monitor after store updates
New products, banners, apps, and theme changes can introduce new accessibility issues after the first scan.
