EU Accessibility Act and WCAG 2.2

EU Accessibility Act and WCAG compliance ensures payment pages are accessible to users with disabilities, preventing legal liability and expanding market reach.

We have upgraded the MyCheckout hosted payment pages to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA and EAA. As a result, the pages are:

• Fully compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA,
• And therefore fully compliant with Clauses 9.1 to 9.4 and Clause 9.6 of the EU Accessibility Act

In addition, MyCheckout hosted payment pages meet the following clauses of EU Accessibility Act:

• Clause 5 (Generic Requirements): General accessibility principles are integrated throughout the design and technical development.
• Clause 12 (Documentation and Support Services): Support materials and documentation are made available and in accessible formats.

Other clauses of the EAA, which are about voice communication, video content, hardware requirements, and emergency services, are not applicable to the hosted payment pages.

Co-badged cards

Regulation (EU) 2015/751 Article 8 requires merchants in the European Economic Area to let co-badged cardholders choose their preferred card network and to process both the initial and any recurring payments using that selection. MyCheckout’s hosted payment pages for Connect deliver a user-friendly implementation that meets these requirements. Here is how MyCheckout works:

• The moment a card number is entered, MyCheckout recognizes all available networks without any additional integration effort.
• Each network’s logo and text label are displayed with identical size, clarity and prominence, ensuring customers immediately see all supported options.
• When multiple networks are detected, selections appear beneath the card input. Customers select their preferred network with a single click, and MyCheckout processes the payment according to that choice.

This end-to-end solution keeps your integration fully compliant with EU regulations while providing a seamless checkout experience to your customers.
