Automating ADA Compliance on Salesforce Commerce Cloud with Cypress

Ensuring accessibility on eCommerce websites is not just good practice—it’s increasingly a legal requirement. To make this easier, I created a Cypress automation suite that scans Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) storefronts for ADA (accessibility) compliance using axe-core.

This post walks through the setup, key features, and how you can get started with automated accessibility testing on SFCC.

Why Automated Accessibility Testing?

Manual accessibility checks are time-consuming and error-prone, especially for large eCommerce sites with frequent updates. By integrating automated tests into your workflow, you can:

• Catch critical accessibility violations early

• Ensure compliance with WCAG standards

• Reduce manual QA effort

• Continuously monitor the accessibility of staging and production environments

✅ Summary

By combining Cypress with axe-core, you can automatically scan your Salesforce Commerce Cloud storefront for accessibility issues, integrate it into CI/CD, and ensure your eCommerce site stays ADA compliant.

This approach saves time, reduces manual QA, and provides a scalable way to maintain accessibility across staging and production environments.
