The best apps on Shopify to increase sales are within a click of a button.
With these apps, you can make MILLIONS if you properly use them.
The big companies in your industry have tried and tested many apps to find the ones that best suit them.
You could do the exact same thing.
But when you decide to try and test apps like the big companies did, you run into two problems:
- How do you know which apps you actually need?
- How much time will all this take?
One thing you can never get back is time.
If you spend too much time trying out apps, you give your competitors time to ride into the sunset with your customers.
When you spend too much time trying out apps, you risk missing multiple business opportunities that you could’ve taken.
These problems should never occur for efficient businesses. Too many stores stay stuck in this cycle.
Look, you need a good app stack to catch up and dominate your competitors. But you also need to condense the time it takes to solve the above 2 problems.
That’s what this article will do for you.
Right now, you’re going to learn about the apps you need to win and what purpose they serve.
This list of apps is designed to help you through each stage of a business, from generating traffic, to making the big dollar bills.
Also, there’s no affiliates. This is an unbiased list.
Let’s begin
#1 TinySEO
If you have no eyes, you can’t see the prize.
Now, this does not mean if you’re visually impaired, you can’t have prizes (get as many as you want).
But if you want to actually start calling yourself a business, you need people to buy from you.
This comes from traffic.
There are a couple issues though.
There are many stores being built everyday on the internet.
Many are in your niche. They are also competing for the traffic that you desire.
So you need to make sure your page is optimized and gives a smooth experience.
You’ve definitely seen all those SEO apps on Shopify promising to boost your store rankings and making your dreams come true.
Basically all of them are terrible.
The one thing you don’t want, is an app that takes shortcuts with your store.
If they take shortcuts, it means they didn’t optimize your store properly.
Almost all SEO apps will take shortcuts in fixing your website errors because they took shortcuts in their automations.
They’re not looking to fix your store, they’re looking to just get an install and get your money.
What’s even worse is that these apps can’t even explain the errors in your store in detail.
This means you actually don’t know what’s wrong with your store.
We didn’t know if we should put an SEO app in this stack, but TinySEO is worth it.
Imagine having to spend 100+ hours of manual work (which cost you $1000+ annually), downloading multiple tools and working with them, just so your store actually runs properly.
Thats a nightmare especially because there’s an app that does all this for you way quicker.
It also uses AI to write your Image alt text and Meta data (titles & description) for you.
Best of all, you reduce that 100+ hour MANUAL work and $1000+ investment into a few hours and under $100.
That’s what TinySEO does for you.
It does the thinking for you.
You know what’s terrible for a site? Slow speed.
Imagine having to wait for a page to load properly. Just so you can see the shirt that you want to buy.
You might not think that’s a big deal, but for every second there’s a delay, your conversions decrease by 7%.
TinySEO will not let that happen. It takes the site and lets you disable apps on page types that aren’t being used.
Why would you need your reviews to load if you’re on the blog page? That’s unnecessary slowdown. TinySEO doesn’t let that happen.
Their reports are great too.
TinySEO gets a spot on our app stack because of it’s ability to give you multiple tools for the cheapest price.
You don’t need to run around and get multiple SEO tools. TinySEO has all of them, and does optimizes your site properly.
#2 Tidio
You got traffic coming to your now SEO optimized website.
Now let’s get you the best customer service.
To drill in how important customer service is, 38% of customers are willing to purchase after a nice conversation.
Great customer service = high conversion and a loyal customer base.
People buy from those they like, you can achieve this with great customer service.
Great customer service means having great live chat support (over 63% of customers are likely to return to a website if there is live chat available) and a great chatbot (67% of customers prefer to use chatbot for quick questions).
Combine these two and you got a recipe for customer success and conversions.
For this, we recommend Tidio.
With the rapid growth of AI, Tidio has proven itself to be competent with the technology and the use of live chat support.
When looking at AI, it’s Lyro Chatbot has a 70% resolution rate and 76% of customers don’t even need a transfer to a live agent.
That’s huge, considering that many chatbots fail to even understand a customers question in the first place.
With it’s live chat, Tidio can give your store a 29% decrease in average response time. They’re about speed, but in the way that gets results. Results that have helped over 300,000 stores and increased conversions by 27%.
In terms of an industry benchmark, they are super competitive, having a tier of plans including one letting you help 250 customers for just under $60 USD monthly.
You increase your leads and your conversions basically all on autopilot. The use of AI for their chatbot deserves the praise.
#3 Klaviyo
You’re at the stage now where you have traffic and can handle feedback efficiently.
People are also buying from your store.
But how do you make sure they come back?
An email list.
A medium that not only will grow in the future, but where you can make mountains of money.
With an email list, you can create multiple email series that are designed for certain situations.
With an app like Klaviyo, you’ll get an email optimizer that is specifically designed for e-commerce.
Not only does it easily integrate with your store, you can scale fast and enjoy:
- Targeted campaigns that are based on customer journey
- A/B testing so you can see how different versions of your email are performing
- Multi channel marketing which expands outside of email with SMS marketing
- In depth analytics so you can see where to improve
Klaviyo is such a great platform, that Shopify even loves it.
With Shopify investing $100 million into Klaviyo back in 2022, it’s a no-brainer that Klaviyo is the best app to go with for your emails. Especially when you see that 10-15% of sales can be attributed to emails.
#4 Matrixify
With the growing traffic and email list, you’re going to start getting a lot of customers.
Lots of customers comes lots of transactions.
Lots of transactions come lots of data.
Product listings. Customer orders. Customer lists.
The mountains of data are endless.
But what happens if you need to make big changes to your store? The fear of creating errors in your stores data is high.
Matrixify was created for one purpose:
Perfect the art of importing and exporting data without creating errors.
No app has perfected this art like Matrixify. That’s all the app does. Seriously. Import and export onto CSV, or Excel.
Products, blog posts, draft orders, discounts.
The list goes on, and Matrixify can do it.
But this purpose is necessary for store owners. Here are some scenarios you may run into:
- Having a seasonal sale and need to make product updates? Use Matrixify to export the product data on an excel file, make the price changes on the file, then import it on excel
- Migrating from another platform to Shopify? Export all the stores data (I mean everything seriously) and import it onto Shopify. Way easier. Way quicker
- Updating your stock inventory on your website? Export the data on excel, and import it back onto Shopify when you make the changes on the file.
- Processing and updating a large number of orders? You know the drill, export the data onto Excel. Import it back onto Shopify.
It’s insane how effective this app is. This is the one every store owner needs to save them headaches and screams.
#5 By The Numbers
Alright, I know what you’re thinking
“Did they just put themselves on this list?”
Yes. Yes I did.
But the service BtN offers has consistently proven to help customers scale and help them understand how to do it strategically.
Also, we’re fun people to talk to :).
One factor that separates owners from each other is the ability to understand their customers properly.
Data is key in this.
Customer segmentation is a crucial term you need to understand.
The best businesses understand that all customers are not the same.
They vary in how often they purchase, what they purchase, and how much they purchase.
With an app like BytheNumbers, you can answer almost any question you have about your customers.
- What is the ROI of my ads?
- What items are frequently purchased together?
- What is my returning customer rate?
With advance customer reporting, you’ll see every detail about your store.
You’ll see who your best and active customers are so you can upsell them.
You’ll see who your dormant customers are so you can send a campaign with them with Klaviyo so they become active again.
If you want to know what exactly to focus on when scaling, you need a data analytics platform.
But more importantly, one that provides countless reports for you and continuously is updating their reports library.
One that takes out the human errors in analysis and points you in the right direction.
Remember when I mentioned upselling? #6 can help us with this.

#6 Bundler
Once a customer buys from you, if they like your product, they’ll come back to you.
Think of it like a hair salon. If you liked your haircut you’ll go back to that salon.
The same applies to business.
Once customers buy from you, the muscle of buying from your store is strengthened. It continues to strengthen the more they buy.
With analyzing your data, you’ll also see that some products tend to be paired together.
For example, if you were buying a coffee machine, a great upsell opportunity would be to have coffee beans as an add-on.
You improve the customer experience by helping the customer get something they were already going to get.
To get technical, it also increases your profit contributions (the revenue of product – Variable costs).
Let’s show you an example:
Let’s use the coffee example. If you buy the coffee machine for $100 and then you buy the coffee beans separately for $25, you’re paying more in variable costs.
There will be separate shipping, and packaging.
However, let’s say you upsell the customer with the beans when they buy the coffee machine.
You’re now going to save more in shipping and packaging because you’re shipping both at the same time but also using packaging that will hold both items.
Upselling doesn’t just mean having a higher AOV, it also means saving more on costs.
You gain more, while the customer gains more as well in terms of customer experience.
Bundler is a great app to help you with this.
It has an easy to use interface and has helped over 30,000 store owners.
The one thing that is common amongst all store owners who love the product?
Bundler helped them increase sales and give customers a better experience.
Which means they were likely to return.
#7 Globo Product Option, Variant
You’re almost there with the perfect app stack
As you start to add more products to your business, the ability to customize your products can drive satisfaction up.
If you have a clothing store, the ability to have a shirt in different sizes and colours is extremely important.
It can be the difference between a customer buying and not buying.
However, adding and modifying product changes and options can be time consuming.
This is where Globo Product Option, Variant shines.
With Globo, you can make fast edits to your products and all the options you want.
With this app, enjoy:
- Conditional formatting. If the customer chooses one option, all other options that cannot be paired with the chosen option are eliminated.
- i.e if a red medium shirt is out of stock, when the customer chooses red, medium will not show as an option.
- Fast price adjustments for each product variant
- Bulk editing capability so you can make multiple changes at once and save time.
