How to fix aria input field name on Webflow Commerce

Add a descriptive accessible name (aria-label, aria-labelledby, or a visible <label>) to every ARIA input field so assistive technologies can identify it.

Steps for Webflow Commerce

  1. Follow the same Webflow Designer steps above for product page and cart form inputs.
  2. For Webflow Commerce checkout (if using native checkout), custom form inputs added to the checkout can be labeled via the Settings panel custom attribute: aria-label = 'value'.

What is aria input field name?

An "ARIA input field name" is the text label that screen readers and other assistive technologies announce when a user focuses on a form field — a text box, search bar, date picker, quantity field, or any other input that uses an ARIA role like `textbox`, `spinbutton`, `searchbox`, `slider`, or `combobox`. When that label is missing or empty, the field has no accessible name. WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value) requires every user-interface component to have a name that programs can determine. A field without a label is essentially invisible to assistive technology users.

Screen reader users — including many customers with visual impairments — cannot understand what to type into an unlabeled field, which means they cannot complete your checkout, search for products, or fill in any other form on your site. This directly costs you sales and excludes a significant portion of your potential customers. Legally, WCAG 2.1 AA compliance (which includes SC 4.1.2) is referenced in accessibility laws and regulations in the US (ADA), EU (EAA), UK (PSBAR), and elsewhere — stores with unlabeled form fields are at real legal risk. Search engines also use accessible markup signals as part of overall quality assessment, so fixing this contributes to long-term SEO health.
