Over the years, Shopify has gained popularity by being the go-to eCommerce platform that powers businesses by helping them monetize and sell their products. This paved the way for a whole industry of applications meant to enhance the way businesses use the platform.

Here are ten apps that every Shopify store owner must consider for their store.

You can stay relevant on both social media platforms and Kit will help you track which marketing activities can drive sales. Thinking about using discount codes?

YOTPO

Nothing says “I love your product!” more than a beaming review from a very satisfied client. It’s like promoting your product to an already primed audience, and you can expect great conversion results. Yotpo lets you collect product reviews, ratings, site reviews and photos, which you can then use to promote your store.

ORDER PRINTER

Order Printer allows store owners to print in bulk and customize templates, making your store not only look more professional and put-together - it actually makes your operations more efficient. It’s simple to set up and doesn’t require any upfront cost. You’ll be printing invoices and shipping labels in no time.

PUSHOWL

Ever wonder how many abandoned carts have been recovered once the client knows the product they shopped for is now back in stock? This single piece of information can help convert more sales, thanks to apps like PushOwl, which pushes notifications to targeted customers to win them over and encourage them to continue on with their purchase.

AUTO CURRENCY SWITCHER

Globalization and high-speed technology have both paved the way for borderless shopping. Online shoppers come from far and wide, and with that brings the complications of converting currencies to know how much an item actually costs in their local currency. Enter: Auto Currency Switcher, which allows shoppers to see amounts in their own currency. This app detects the user’s country based on the IP address and converts the price for a more convenient shopping experience.

FREE SHIPPING BAR

Who in their right mind would say no to free shipping? In fact, some bargain hunters even vie for products solely because of the free shipping incentive. Get hold of these clients through the Free Shipping Bar, which displays different free shipping offers based on country, pages, device and time period.

BONUS: RETURN MAGIC

Probably one of the most enjoyable privileges for customers is the convenience that store owners provide for returning products bought. Return Magic lets you have multiple refund options so your shoppers can have a more enjoyable shopping experience.
