Enforcement: what's happening now
The supervisory authority is the TTJA (Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority), which handles violations out of court. Its toolkit: information requests, a binding remediation order (ettekirjutus) with a sunniraha (penalty payment) of up to €10,000, repeatable for as long as the order is not complied with, so potentially exceeding the fine ceiling cumulatively, plus administrative fines. The TTJA is visibly active with guidance, a reporting facility and structural monitoring; as of mid-2026 no publicly confirmed EAA fines against private web shops, private-sector supervision is in its build-up phase, but the powers stand ready.
Estonia transposed the EAA via the Products and Services Accessibility Act; TTJA is the enforcement authority and can fine legal persons up to EUR 20,000, with a penalty payment up to EUR 10,000 for failure to comply with an order. TTJA runs annual accessibility monitoring (132 sites + 8 apps in 2024). Digiligipääsetavuse nõuded. TTJA

Why this matters
Accessibility isn't a checkbox for a regulator, it decides whether roughly 1 in 6 people (WHO) can use your site at all. For them, an inaccessible store isn't a minor annoyance but a closed door. Fix the error in your own code and you remove that barrier and make your site cleaner for search engines, the same fix, double the gain.
Know where you stand, before the regulator does.
