With version 1.14.0 of our JavaScript SDK, we are entering a new phase of accessibility:
This version lays the foundation for the Compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and ensures that digital services are accessible and easy to use and operate for everyone, regardless of individual limitations.
What is behind the update?
From 2025, accessibility will no longer just be „nice to have“, but a legal requirement.
With the latest update, we are making our JavaScript SDK fully keyboard operable - an important step towards making online stores and digital services accessible and legally compliant.
What's new in version 1.14.0
- Complete keyboard navigation for modal windows
All dialogs and input windows can now be used without a mouse - with logical tab order, escape key for closing and clear focus display. - Keyboard control for autocomplete suggestions
Address and location suggestions can now be controlled using the arrow and Enter keys - this makes entry easier and meets accessibility requirements. - Accessible selection of the country code in the telephone field
The country code can now also be selected using the keypad. Focus and selection indicators make operation clear and consistent.

Improved code quality
In addition to the functional innovations, the code has been extensively cleaned up.
Over 2,700 linting warnings have been removed - for more stability, maintainability and long-term quality.
For developers: Note for custom integrations
Who own integrations with prepareDOMElement and triggers focus or blur events manually, should in the future
await addressObject.waitForPredictionApplication()insert. This ensures that all predictions are applied correctly - particularly important for validations and asynchronous inputs.
Accessibility is and will become increasingly important!
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) will require many online providers to make their web stores and digital services accessible from 2025. With version 1.14.0, our JavaScript SDK supports online retailers, partners and developers in meeting these requirements at an early stage and at the same time creates a better user experience for everyone.
Availability:
The version JS-SDK 1.14.0 is available from November 10, 2025 available.
