Pear Commerce Has Successfully Completed WeCo’s Manual Accessibility Audit

At Pear Commerce, we’re passionate about empowering CPG brands to connect with all consumers seamlessly—and we’ve just hit another milestone in that mission. We’re excited to announce that Pear Commerce has successfully completed WeCo’s Manual Accessibility Audit!

Why is this significant? Because accessibility isn’t just a checkbox for us—it’s a core value that drives how we build and innovate. And this recent audit is proof that we don’t just meet accessibility standards for users online; we raise the bar.

Meeting user accessibility standards 

Every element of our platform—Shoppable PDPs, modal popups, Landing Pages, and Store Locators—rigorously tested and passed WeCo’s comprehensive Manual Accessibility Audit. Here’s what we crushed with flying colors:

• WCAG 2.2 A-AA compliance: Meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ensures our tools are usable for individuals with a wide range of disabilities. 
• Section 508 compliance: We meet the federal standards that require accessible digital content per the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. 
• WeCo’s enhanced accessibility standards: Bringing accessibility to an even higher level, with unparalleled attention to usability for everyone. 
  ‍

What sets this audit apart? WeCo employs accessibility professionals who live with disabilities to evaluate our platform—a process ensuring that Pear’s tools genuinely work for everyone.

Accessibility that empowers brands & consumers 

For CPG brands, accessibility equals opportunity. By using Pear’s platform, you’re not just leveraging cutting-edge ecommerce tools—you’re ensuring that every shopper, regardless of ability, has an equal chance to engage with your brand. 

• More inclusive shopping experiences: Accessible tools mean everyone can find and purchase your products—whether it's a consumer reading alt text on a Store Locator or navigating a Shoppable PDP with assistive technologies. 
• Stronger brand connections: Inclusivity isn't just the right thing to do—it reinforces your brand’s commitment to all consumers, building loyalty and long-term relationships. 
• Future-proof compliance: Accessibility drives sales while keeping you on the right side of evolving digital regulations.

A meaningful mission of equality

Here’s the thing—we don’t do this because we must. We do it because we believe in it. We’re here to build technology that creates user equity, not barriers.

The WeCo audit is just one way we put this into action. With tools designed to work for everyone and commitment to ongoing improvements, Pear Commerce ensures that accessibility drives innovation without compromises. Our team is extremely proud to empower our brands and their customers with tools that provide equality for all.
