SECTION 02
How to Read This Report
Conformance is reported per feature and per implementation variant.
Current implementation = modern Shopify Theme App Extension layer (Control Centre), fully tested. Legacy implementation = earlier JS-rendered layer, infrastructure tested, feature-level testing Q2 2026. Reaching End of Support = variant receiving no further updates; migration guide available.
Items tagged ASSUMED are inferred from code analysis pending manual confirmation — see the Assumption Register (Section 06).

SECTION 04
WCAG 2.1 Criteria Assessment — Current Implementation
Maps the Current implementation (Extensions / Control Centre) against individual WCAG 2.1 success criteria. For procurement teams and auditors requiring criteria-level detail.
Level A Criteria
| Criteria | Conformance | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 Non-text Content | Supports | All 68 decorative SVGs confirmed aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" applied across assets/ and snippets/. All 10 image alt instances fixed (alt="" for decorative, descriptive alt for meaningful). Toast notification product images confirmed correctly using alt="" — product title present as adjacent text. Verified 02 April 2026. |
| 1.3.1 Info and Relationships | Partially Supports | Modal/popup containers missing role="dialog" in current scan. P0 fix in progress. Core semantic structure of wishlist features is correct. |
| 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence | Supports | Reading order follows DOM order throughout tested blocks. No sequence errors identified. |
| 1.4.1 Use of Color | Supports | No information conveyed via colour alone detected. |
| 2.1.1 Keyboard | Partially Supports | Core wishlist add/remove, PDP button, and launcher are keyboard-accessible. Some interactive elements in secondary flows lack keyboard handlers. P0 remediation in progress. |
| 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap | Supports | No keyboard trap patterns detected in static analysis or manual testing. |
| 2.4.3 Focus Order | Supports | Focus trap confirmed implemented in storefront-layout-components.js (trapFocus method, lines 1243–1313, 1480–1527). Intercepts Tab/Shift-Tab, wraps focus between first and last focusable element, registered on open() and removed on close(). ASM-001 closed. |
| 3.1.1 Language of Page | Supports | HTML lang attributes present across all tested blocks. |
| 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value | Partially Supports | Modal ARIA roles P0 fix in progress. Two identified structural issues — nested button conflict and ARIA menu role mismatch — both resolved Feb 2026. New role="button" elements (delete icons, close buttons, thumb feedback) confirmed keyboard-accessible with descriptive aria-label attributes. Focus state confirmed on Dawn theme (02 April 2026). Playwright/axe CI suite merged to tests/accessibility/ for ongoing WCAG 2.1 detection. |
Level AA Criteria
| Criteria | Conformance | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) | Partially Supports | Swym default notification colours confirmed passing: Info (#121F36 on white), Success (#155724 on #d4edda), Error (#721c24 on #f8d7da) — all exceed 4.5:1. Merchant CSS variable overrides are outside Swym's control; merchant-theme carve-out applies. ASM-003 partially closed. |
| 1.4.4 Resize Text | Supports | Relative CSS units used throughout, supporting 200% text resize. |
| 1.4.10 Reflow | Supports | Responsive CSS with media queries. No fixed-width layouts causing horizontal scroll at 320px. |
| 2.4.7 Focus Visible | Supports | No outline: 0 !important found in Swym's own extension CSS. Header icon confirmed with explicit :focus-visible style. New role="button" elements (Close X in Wishlist drawer, Variant Selector icons) confirmed receiving keyboard focus with visible focus state (border thickening) on Dawn theme — no custom CSS required. ASM-002 closed. Confirmed 02 April 2026. |
| 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation | Supports | Navigation components shared across extensions and render consistently. |
| 4.1.3 Status Messages | Supports | Toast notifications use role="status". Wishlist confirmation announcements verified with VoiceOver. |

SECTION 06
Assumption Register
Every item tagged ASSUMED in this document is recorded here. Entries are closed with direct evidence as testing progresses.
ASM-001
Modal Focus Containment (2.4.3)
CLOSED
storefront-layout-components.js has a fully implemented trapFocus method (lines 1243–1313, 1480–1527). Queries all focusable elements, intercepts Tab/Shift-Tab, wraps focus between first and last element. Listener registered on open() and removed on close(). WCAG 2.4.3 updated to Supports. Confirmed 02 April 2026.
ASM-002
Focus Ring Suppression (2.4.7)
CLOSED
No
outline: 0 !important found in Swym's own extension CSS — rule originates from merchant theme (e.g. Dawn). Header icon now has explicit :focus-visible style confirmed. Swym-controlled surfaces clean. New role="button" elements confirmed focus-visible on Dawn theme. WCAG 2.4.7 updated to Supports. Confirmed 02 April 2026.
ASM-003
Toast Colour Contrast (1.4.3)
PARTIALLY OPEN
Swym default notification colours confirmed passing 4.5:1: Info (#121F36 bg), Success (#155724 on #d4edda), Error (#721c24 on #f8d7da). The white-on-sky-blue scenario assumed in the original register does not exist in Swym defaults. Merchant CSS variable overrides remain a live risk — merchant-theme carve-out applies. No further action required on Swym-controlled defaults.
ASM-004
SVG Icon Announcements (1.1.1)
CLOSED
swymHeaderIcon.liquid confirmed: aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" on SVG; accessible name provided by aria-label="Wishlist" on parent <a> element. Screen readers announce link label correctly, ignoring decorative SVG. Same pattern confirmed in storefront-layout-components.js. All 68 SVGs and 10 img-alt instances now fixed across extensions layer. Confirmed 02 April 2026.
ASM-005
Variant Selector Keyboard (2.1.1)
OPEN — REFRAMED
advanced-pdp-button.js has a keydown listener (line 593) for the consent popup — confirmed keyboard-accessible. No div-based variant dropdown found in Swym extension code. Custom variant selectors are merchant-theme-owned, not Swym-delivered. Q2 manual testing will confirm the wishlist action itself remains keyboard-accessible regardless of merchant variant selection method. Reframed from "Swym code gap" to "merchant-theme scope question."
SECTION 07
End-of-Support Variants — Migration Path Available
The variants below are not assessed for WCAG conformance. Migration to the Current implementation is the fastest path to a conformant storefront. Guides available at support@getswym.com.
| Variant | Merchants | Status | Migration Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom Header | 11 (0.2%) | End of Support | Migrate to Header Launcher (Extensions) — Swym support team engaged directly. |
| Script Tag Launcher | 432 (11%) | Deprecating Q2 | Migrate to Floating or Advanced Launcher. Deprecation notice Q2 2026. |
| Legacy PDP Button | 6,459 (46%) | Migration Active | Migrate to App Block Button (Extensions). Active migration campaign underway; WCAG testing in parallel per Q2 roadmap. |
| Custom PDP Button | 1,168 (8%) | Not Evaluated | Merchant-custom implementations. Merchants encouraged to migrate to App Block Button. |
| SFS Qty (Old UI) | 3 (<0.01%) | Not Evaluated | Negligible usage. Document-only record. |
SECTION 08
Legal Notice & Scope Limitations
Point-in-time declaration
This report reflects the state of Swym Wishlist Plus as of 02 April 2026. It is not a legal certification or warranty of WCAG conformance. It is provided in good faith to support accessibility evaluation by customers, prospects, and procurement teams.
Merchant theme carve-out
Swym Wishlist Plus renders within a Shopify merchant-controlled theme. Colour contrast for merchant-supplied typography, focus ring styles overridden by theme CSS, and layout reflow governed by the theme grid are outside Swym's control and are excluded from this report's conformance claims.
Shopify platform scope
This report covers Swym Wishlist Plus on Shopify only. Shopify platform-level accessibility (checkout, account pages, Shopify admin) is governed by Shopify's own ACR and is not within scope here.
Custom implementations
Merchants who have implemented Swym UI components using custom code outside Swym's standard delivery method are responsible for the accessibility of those customisations.
