Is your shop BFSG compliant? Find out in 2 minutes — automated accessibility scan with traffic-light status and actionable recommendations.

== Description ==

**Germany's Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) is now in effect.** Online shops that don't meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA face fines up to 100,000 EUR.

**CheckBarriere shows you where your shop stands in 2 minutes** — and exactly what to fix to become compliant.

= How it works =

1. **Scan** — One click starts the automatic BFSG check of your shop
2. **Understand** — The traffic-light indicator shows instantly: green (compliant), yellow (partial) or red (non-compliant)
3. **Act** — Every violation comes with concrete recommendations in German
4. **Prove** — Compliant shops receive a frontend badge that builds customer trust

= Features =

* **BFSG Traffic Light** — See at a glance if your shop is compliant
* **Automatic Scan** — Check your shop directly from the WordPress admin
* **Actionable Reports** — All violations with German descriptions and fix suggestions
* **WooCommerce Integration** — Automatically detects shop, cart, checkout and product pages
* **Compliance Badge** — Show your customers that your shop is accessible
* **Daily Auto-Scan** — Continuously monitors your shop for new issues
* **WCAG 2.1 Level AA** — The standard required by the BFSG

= Who is this plugin for? =

* WooCommerce shop owners who need to comply with the BFSG
* Agencies checking client shops for accessibility
* Any WordPress site owner who takes accessibility seriously

= External Service =

This plugin connects to the [CheckBarriere API](https://checkbarriere.de) to perform accessibility scans. The scanning is done on external servers because it requires a real browser engine (Playwright) to render and analyze pages — this cannot be done locally within WordPress. All scan results returned by the service are displayed in full within the plugin.

* [Terms of Service](https://checkbarriere.de/agb)
* [Privacy Policy](https://checkbarriere.de/datenschutz)

The free plan scans up to 5 pages. For more pages, auto-monitoring and PDF export, see [Starter and Pro plans](https://checkbarriere.de).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need a CheckBarriere account? =

No! You can start a free scan immediately — no account, no API key required. The free scan covers up to 5 pages with a summary of detected violations. For the full report (all violations, more pages, PDF export), you can register for free at [checkbarriere.de](https://checkbarriere.de/auth/register) and add an API key.

= What exactly gets scanned? =

CheckBarriere opens your shop in a real browser and checks every page for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance — the exact standard required by the BFSG. Checks include contrast, keyboard navigation, alt texts, ARIA labels, and forms.

= Does the plugin work with WooCommerce? =

Yes! When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically detects all relevant pages: shop, cart, checkout, and product pages.

= What is the difference between free and paid scans? =

The free scan (no API key) covers up to 5 pages and shows a limited number of violations. With an API key (Starter plan and above), you get more pages, all violations in full detail, auto-monitoring, and PDF export.

= Is my data processed securely? =

Yes. CheckBarriere only processes publicly accessible pages of your shop. Customer data is never transmitted. Servers are located in Germany (GDPR compliant).
