What are the top apps to enhance Shopify store performance?

Hi all

I am looking to try out a few Shopify apps that can boost performance.

What are your favourite apps for your Shopify store and why should I use them?

Thanks!

Hi, @Ashleigh_F !

Olivia here from the Shopify Team. Welcome to our Community Forums.

I love your question, and I’m super keen to hear from other community members on what apps are their favourites and why. I found this sweet blog post on the 25 Best Free Shopify Apps to check out that I wanted to share with you. This list was curated for our merchants based on popularity and efficiency.

I took it one step further and shortlisted some of my favourite picks, some of which I use on my own store. Check them out below:

  • Kit - Hands down, Kit, your very own Virtual Marketing Expert, has to be one of my favourite apps of all time. If you want the most bang for your buck by streamlining marketing activities, this is definitely worth checking out
  • Refersion - I thought this app was really neat. It helped me connect with potential affiliates by setting out out my conditions, then approving affiliate applicants
  • Lucky Orange - If getting traffic isn’t an issue, but converting sales is, this app is a must. You can generate heat maps of your store, view customer behaviour, and gain insights in real time

Most of the apps on our App Store have free trials, along with customer reviews to help you make the best decision for your website. The home page of our App Store also offers featured sections for staff picks and trending apps.

Feel free to share a little more about your store so we can better recommend apps to boost performance.

Warm regards,

Gotta go with the Fodane App! https://apps.shopify.com/fodane

Thank you for sharing your recommendation, @t23pelletier .

It sounds like you are familiar with this app and think it would be a good fit for merchants looking to enhance store performance. Please share some more insight on the app and some key features that you think may be helpful for our future readers based on your experience.

Warm regards,

Fondane is the second to none out of all of the Shopify apps. Here is why:

  • You have built in on-page conversion optimization features such as sticky add to cart, countdown timer for sales, tracker quantity, volume discounts, trust badge, AI driven personalized recommendation’s, and more
  • There is a bundle function to increase Average order value
  • Upsell function to increase average order value
  • Best in class review app
  • Recent sales notifications
  • Currency convertor so that you can market to the entire world
  • and so much more.

To have all of these functions, you would have to download 30+ apps, and it would cost you $100’s monthly in subscription costs. As of right now, Fodane is only $14.99 with a free 2 week trial. Adding Fodane to your store is a no brainer!

If you’re looking for one app that covers your needs for reviews, referrals, and Instagram feed, AND at the same time you want it to be free, then I recommend trying our app. It competes with the best in the market while it’s free for ALL its features:

  1. Reviews: Collect reviews on auto-pilot and showcase them using a variety of display widgets. We’re now a full-featured review app.
  2. Referrals on social media: Let your customers share a post/story on their social media about your store in exchange for a discount code.
  3. Instafeed: Display your Instagram feeds on your store using beautiful widgets (releasing next month).
    It also has a world-class UI/UX and performance design so it has a minimum impact on your loading speed.
