Key benefits
When shoppers can read comfortably and navigate easily, they stay longer and complete more purchases. With 1 in 4 people living with a disability, accessibility directly impacts revenue.
Visible on every page (accept your checkout page), the Assist-Bar shows customers that inclusion matters, strengthening trust and repeat visits.
Features aligned to WCAG A, AA, and AAA requirements help you better meet ADA, EAA, and other global accessibility laws.
Install once and let shoppers tailor their own experience, while keeping your brand style intact.
The lightweight toolbar loads fast and only applies changes when shoppers choose to use it.
How it works. Why it matters
Meet your helpful online store assistant, always available on every page.
The Assist-Bar appears across your site
Once EnableAll is installed, a small accessibility icon appears on every page (you can choose where in settings). Customers activate it by clicking or tabbing to it to open the Assist-Bar instantly.
Shoppers can adjust their experience
Once open customers can adjust text, colors, reading guides, navigation aids, and more. Whether shoppers have epilepsy, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, low vision, hearing loss, motor impairments, or sensory or cognitive differences, these tools help them browse comfortably.
You manage everything from one dashboard
You can easily customize and manage the Assist-Bar from the EnableAll dashboard, with tools supporting WCAG 2.2 AA and many AAA requirements. You also get access to usage and feature statistics.
How each feature is designed to help you browse
Individual needs: We suggest features that may be helpful based on common needs, but everyone’s preferences are different. You’re free to use any tools that work best for you.
Assistive technologies: EnableAll is designed to support (not replace) assistive technologies. You may prefer to use your own device or browser-based tools, and that’s completely fine. We welcome feedback if you notice any conflicts between EnableAll and your personal assistive technology.

Meet our happy customers
EnableAll stood out to us for its rich, well-designed feature set and its clear focus on ecommerce use cases. On top of that, the mission and story behind the brand gave us real confidence that this is a product built for the long term.
EnableAll took a huge pressure off of us, and because it was helping with our alt text and our SEO ranking, we knew that we had an extra little uplift in the reach that we had online.
Assist-Bar FAQ
EnableAll Assist-Bar is EnableAll’s accessibility toolbar that appears on our clients’ websites, giving visitors the ability to personalize how they browse.
Through an intuitive on-site widget, visitors can adjust colors, contrast, font size, and typography, as well as activate a wide range of accessibility tools designed to improve readability, focus, navigation, and overall comfort.
Assist-Bar supports people with diverse accessibility needs, including those with epilepsy, ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and visual, hearing, or motor impairments. Rather than assuming what someone needs, it empowers each visitor to choose the tools that work best for them.
Many features are also valuable for everyday browsing (such as text-to-speech, video captions, and layout adjustments) making websites easier to use for everyone.
Yes. Install from the Shopify App Store and get full access to Assist-Bar, Code-Fix, and Auto-Audit during your trial.
No. You can cancel anytime. Start with our free trial to see results before committing to a paid plan.
Yes. EnableAll Assist-Bar supports WCAG requirements at A, AA, and AAA levels, for example by allowing customers to change font sizes and colors. This strengthens your compliance with ADA, EAA, and other accessibility laws. For comprehensive compliance, we recommend combining EnableAll Code-Fix and a manual accessibility audit.
Yes. When shoppers can adjust text size, colors, and navigation to suit their needs, they stay longer and buy more. Without these tools, many customers abandon their cart, not because they don't want your products, but because they can't comfortably browse or complete checkout. With 1 in 4 people living with a disability, that's a significant portion of your potential revenue. Assist-Bar also signals that your brand cares about inclusion, building trust and loyalty that drives repeat purchases.
No. The widget is designed to be lightweight and only applies changes when shoppers choose to use it. We work hard to deliver no impact on page speed or Core Web Vitals. Our Auto-Audit scanning tool runs less frequently than other accessibility widgets to give you the compliance visibility you need without slowing the site.
No. Assist-Bar operates as a lightweight layer that doesn't modify your theme code. Adjustments only affect the individual shopper's view.
Minutes. Once you install EnableAll from the Shopify App Store, Assist-Bar is ready to use immediately, no developer setup or code changes required.
Assist-Bar helps visitors with a wide range of needs including low vision, color blindness, dyslexia, motor impairments, cognitive disabilities, and those who rely on keyboard navigation. Rather than assuming what each person needs, we let every visitor adjust settings to suit them.
Assist-Bar supports 133 languages and automatically adapts to your store's language settings. This makes it suitable for international stores serving customers across multiple regions
Yes. Assist-Bar is fully responsive and works across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The interface adapts to screen size so visitors can access all tools on any device.
Yes. Visitors can have page content read aloud, helping those with visual impairments, reading difficulties, or anyone who prefers audio content.
Yes. You can adjust the toolbar's position, colors, and icon to match your brand. Assist-Bar is designed to feel like part of your site, not an external add-on.
Yes. EnableAll automatically records a visitor's preferences on any individual site without collecting personal information, so your site appears exactly how they need it every time they return, no need to reconfigure on each visit.
No. Overlays attempt to automatically fix accessibility issues with JavaScript, often masking problems rather than solving them, and sometimes creating new barriers. Assist-Bar is different: it gives visitors tools to customize their own experience, while Code-Fix handles actual code-level remediation. We fix the code; we don't cover it up.
Four things set us apart: First, Assist-Bar includes features that support WCAG Level A, AA, and AAA requirements, going beyond the basics most toolbars offer. Second, we built it with input from accessibility experts, people with disabilities, and accessibility UX/UI designers. Third, our color customization options are more flexible and accessible than other accessibility apps, visitors can fine-tune contrast, hues, and saturation rather than choosing from limited presets. The result is a toolbar that actually works for the people it's designed to help. Fourth, Assist-Bar integrates with EnableAll Code-Fix which offers powerful backend Code-Fixes that enhance WCAG compliance: Unlike pure overlays that rely on heavy scripts, this delivers stronger compliance, better assistive technology compatibility, improved SEO foundations, and no impact on your original theme.

ecause no two people experience disability the same way. Built with input from accessibility experts and people with disabilities, we found that pre-set profiles (like "blind mode" or "dyslexia mode") assume everyone with the same condition wants the same settings. They don't. Instead, EnableAll gives every visitor access to individual tools they can adjust to their own needs. Shoppers can also filter by preference (such as reading, focus, or navigation) to quickly find what helps them most. We're open to feedback from our customers if they would like to see profiles.
No. Assist-Bar does not collect personal information or track visitor behavior. Settings are stored locally in the visitor's browser. This keeps you compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. Your customers' privacy stays protected.
No. Both are included in your plan, but you can disable Assist-Bar in settings if you only want Code-Fix. They work best together, Code-Fix repairs your code, Assist-Bar gives shoppers frontend controls.
Assist-Bar is included in all EnableAll pricing plans alongside Code-Fix and Auto-Audit — you choose which features to enable. We pride ourselves on fair, transparent pricing with no surprise bills. We charge based on your 12-month average usage rather than seasonal peaks, so a busy holiday period won't spike your plan. Pricing terms are published clearly outside of legal agreements, and your dashboard tracks usage in real time.
Not yet, but possibly soon. EnableAll is currently built for Shopify, and we're actively planning to expand support to additional platforms.
