@rsilyan I have seen this pop up a couple of times and wanted to chime in here. From what I see, square's websites are already ADA compliant or can be edited by the user for specifics to be ADA compliant.
Here is a support article that details the way you can be compliant.
https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/7131-web-accessibility-information#19337484dc43e7442785eb475...
"Color contrast in text. Sufficient color contrast between the text and the background
allows people with limited vision or color blindness to read text that uses color.
Square already has the ability to edit a website to make it high contrast...black background white text.
• Text cues when using color in text. When using text color to provide information (such as
red text to indicate required form fields), including text cues is important for people who
cannot perceive the color. For example, include the word “required” in addition to red text
for required form fields.
• Text alternatives (“alt text”) in images. Text alternatives convey the purpose of an
image, including pictures, illustrations, charts, etc. Text alternatives are used by people who
do not see the image, such as people who are blind and use screen readers to hear the alt
text read out loud. To be useful, the text should be short and descriptive.
Every image has the ability to add an "alt-txt" field to any image
• Video captions. Videos can be made accessible by including synchronized captions that
are accurate and identify any speakers in the video.
• Online forms. Labels, keyboard access, and clear instructions are important for forms to be
accessible. Labels allow people who are blind and using screen readers to understand what
to do with each form field, such as by explaining what information goes in each box of a job
application form. It is also important to make sure that people who are using screen
readers are automatically informed when they enter a form field incorrectly. This includes
clearly identifying what the error is and how to resolve it (such as an automatic alert telling
the user that a date was entered in the wrong format).
I see this in all of the check out forms that each space is labeled and has all the information and flags if it is incorrect.
• Text size and zoom capability. People with vision disabilities may need to be able to use
a browser’s zoom capabilities to increase the size of the font so they can see things more
clearly.
I can zoom in on any browser on any of my sites without any problems.
• Headings. When sections of a website are separated by visual headings, building those
headings into the website’s layout when designing the page allows people who are blind to
use them to navigate and understand the layout of the page.
I see the headers on all of my sections and they are not pictures but text which would be ADA compliant.
• Keyboard and mouse navigation. Keyboard access means users with disabilities can
navigate web content using keystrokes, rather than a mouse.
My website and items are fully "tab-able" which is the quick way to see if you can navigate a website via text.
• Reporting accessibility issues. Websites that provide a way for the public to report
accessibility problems allow website owners to fix accessibility issues. "
TL:DR If your site isn't compliant it probably is due to the choices the user has made for formatting and changes the user has made.
