Accessibility Widget
This documentation always describes the latest published version.
Live Demo: Try this and other plugins live — no installation, no risk: demo.markus-michalski.net
Accessibility widget for Shopware 6.7+ storefronts. A floating button opens a panel where customers can adjust font size, contrast, color filters, blue light filter and animations themselves. This helps meet the German Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG).
Privacy: All settings live exclusively in the browser's LocalStorage. No cookies are set, no data is sent to third parties, and nothing is stored on the server.

WCAG and BFSG
The widget gives visitors tools to adjust how the shop is displayed (font size, contrast, color filters, blue light filter, animations). Skip links come from the Shopware storefront itself; the plugin does not add a second one. Which WCAG success criteria a shop meets depends on the shop as a whole and cannot be derived from the plugin alone.
This plugin alone does not guarantee full BFSG compliance. A comprehensive accessibility audit of the entire shop is required.
