The Shopify App Store is filled to the brim with useful Apps, but some deserve a little extra appreciation (get it). Regardless of whether you administer your Shopify store yourself, or work with a development partner, the right apps can solve a whole host of common eCommerce challenges. We’ve rounded up seven apps we genuinely love - that help Shopify businesses run even smarter.

Klaviyo (Email/SMS marketing automation platform)

When it comes to marketing, data, and insights, Klaviyo is a powerhouse. It’s the perfect tool for scaling your business by strengthening your marketing strategy - not just through email and SMS, but with predictive analytics that give you a glimpse into future trends. Think of it as your very own marketing genie (minus the lamp).

Beyond automation, Klaviyo uncovers trends, highlights opportunities, and keeps you ahead of shifting customer expectations. With its intuitive interface and deep analytics, you can fine-tune your approach based on real behaviour, not just best guesses.

It’s renowned in the industry, integrates seamlessly with Shopify, and requires minimal development work to get started.

As a Klaviyo partner agency, we’ve worked with businesses to make the most of its powerful features, including building automated customer journeys and creating targeted campaigns that actually convert. If you need help getting started, we’re always happy to chat.

Price: 0$ - $60 per month, depending on chosen tier.

Bold Commerce 

Bold Commerce gives you greater control over your Shopify checkout, making it easier to increase revenue and keep customers coming back. From subscriptions and custom pricing to loyalty programs and upsells, it helps you make the most of every transaction.

One standout feature is its ‘subscribe and save’ option, letting customers opt into recurring purchases straight from checkout. If subscriptions aren’t your thing, Bold Commerce also enables dynamic pricing, targeted discounts, and post-purchase upsells, all managed directly from the Shopify admin.

With so many ways to refine your checkout experience, it’s a valuable tool for increasing average order value and customer retention. While setup may require some development input, the sheer depth of functionality makes it worth the effort.

Price - $9.99 - $299.99 per month, with an extra 1% on Stripe fees, depending on chosen tier.

Stockist Store Locator 

Some apps just do exactly what you need them to, and Stockist Store Locator is one of them. We love it because it makes life easier for businesses and customers. Instead of answering endless "Where can I find your products?" queries, this app directs shoppers straight to your stores, distributors or offices, all from a single page.

It runs on a familiar Google Maps interface, so there's no learning curve - just a clean, simple way to help customers find you. Bulk CSV uploads make it a breeze to manage multiple locations at once, and customisation options ensure it looks right at home on your Shopify store.

With unlimited web traffic and solid reviews, this is one of those apps we can’t imagine running a multi-location store without.

Price - $10 - $40 per month depending on tier, with a 14 day free trial on all levels.

Yotpo

When it comes to building trust and keeping customers engaged, Yotpo is a game-changer. This app helps Shopify businesses collect and showcase customer reviews, create loyalty programs, and drive repeat purchases - all in one place.

Instead of chasing reviews and engagement, this app does the heavy lifting by automating the process - gathering and showcasing customer feedback in a way that actually boosts conversions.

We’ve seen it work wonders for brands looking to build real connections with their customers. If you want to get more from the people who already love your products, Yotpo is a no-brainer.

You can enhance retention even further with SMS. Yotpo’s SMS marketing tools allow brands to send targeted promotions, abandoned cart reminders, and personalised messages, keeping engagement levels high.

With a free plan available and plenty of customisation options, Yotpo is an excellent choice for brands that want to strengthen customer relationships and turn one-time buyers into long-term fans.

From $79 per month

Matrixify 

Managing Shopify data at scale can be a nightmare, but Matrixify takes the pain out of it. We've used it to clean up messy product catalogs, onboard massive inventories, and update thousands of records in one go.

Let's say you've just onboarded a new supplier and need to upload hundreds of products at once. Instead of manually inputting data, Matrixify reformats your spreadsheet and integrates it into Shopify seamlessly. No frustration, no wasted time - just a tool that works exactly as you’d hope.

For high-volume businesses or anyone dealing with regular bulk updates, this is the kind of app that makes you wonder how you ever managed without it.

Price - $0 - $200 per 30 day period, depending on tier.

Yoast SEO

SEO is one of those things everyone knows they should be doing, but few have the time or expertise to get right. That’s why we love Yoast. It takes the mystery out of optimising your Shopify store, making sure your pages are search engine-friendly without requiring deep technical knowledge.

With clear readability checks, keyword optimisation tools, and structured data integration, Yoast helps Shopify merchants fine-tune their content to perform better in search results.

Keyword stuffing is a no-no, so Yoast encourages smarter, well-structured content that both search engines and customers appreciate. If you want to take control of your Shopify store’s SEO without spending hours buried in technical jargon, this is a great addition.

Price - $0 depending on tier.

Wishlist Plus

There’s no getting away from it - shoppers love lists. Wishlist Plus makes it easy for customers to bookmark their favourite products, giving them a reason to return and complete their purchase when they’re ready.

Google states that 40% of shoppers think their experience would be better if retailers offered a wishlist to save their items. That makes Wishlist Plus a simple but effective way to increase customer satisfaction and retention. It’s the perfect balance between committing to a purchase and walking away completely - keeping products on a customer’s radar without the pressure of an immediate checkout.

With a quick five-minute setup, automated email reminders, and customisation options, Wishlist Plus is a smart way to keep customers engaged and bring them back to your store when they’re ready to buy.

Price - $0 - $99.99 per month, depending on tier.
