Top 5 Shopify Apps We Love
Shopify has a ton of apps available to help you effectively manage your ecommerce store. From apps that sync customer reviews to your page to shipment and delivery assistance — you name it, they got it. But the number of options can get a bit overwhelming, especially if you don’t have any technical experience.
To help you out, here are the top 5 Shopify apps we’ve used to help clients achieve their 7-figure ecomm goals! PLUS, there’s absolutely no coding experience needed.

1. Okendo
Why we love it
Okendo doesn’t just make it easier for you to showcase customer reviews throughout your page. It also has a “Personalised Review Requests” feature that encourages customers to submit reviews across multiple channels. The app allows you to integrate reviews into your ads to boost campaign performance and lead traffic. Plus points for the excellent customer service!
Pro tip: If you’re selling a product that’s also part of another product listing (like a bundle), we suggest combining the reviews to give more social proof and provide your potential customers with more reasons to buy.

On top of the standard list of reviews below that you’d often see on a product page, Okendo can also turn user-generated content into a carousel gallery with integrated reviews.
2. Klaviyo

Why we love it
Klaviyo is a powerful tool for running your email marketing campaigns. Our favourite features include its easy drag-and-drop campaign builder, behaviour-based automation tools, and smart email segmentation. We use it for welcome emails, abandoned cart flows, and all email-based marketing. If you plan to launch SMS marketing campaigns, you can run them on Klaviyo too!
Pro-tip: Don’t be afraid to get super specific with your audience segments. Klaviyo allows you to set conditions to narrow down your audience and target those most likely to convert. For example, you can target window shoppers who have viewed a specific product X number of times but never bought it.

Sustainable activewear brand Girlfriend Collective uses clever copy to nudge shoppers into revisiting their carts. We love this example as it deviates away from the usual “You left something behind” emails and is personalised to the brand’s sustainability core.
3. Unbounce

Why we love it
If you’re starting out on building custom campaign landing pages, this is the perfect tool. The platform is straightforward to use, and it has pre-optimised templates that allow you to launch landing pages in half the time versus other website builders. Of course, all pages created in Unbounce are also mobile responsive!
Pro-tip: If you don’t have the time or resources to start your design from scratch, use Unbounce’s Smart Builder. The AI-powered builder doesn’t just come pre-designed, but it can also generate high-converting copy, so you can be ready to launch minutes.

Raw honey supplier Drizzle built its landing page that’s targeted to wholesale buyers using Unbounce.
4. Builder.io

Why we love it
Builder.io is a drag-and-drop landing page builder that has easy integration with Shopify. It’s a bit more advanced than Unbounce, but we love how you can make direct edits and optimisations without losing your original design or branding. You can either improve an existing page or build your own from scratch.
Pro-tip: Make sure to preview your design in multiple screen sizes before going live. Builder.io also has an A/B testing tool that you can utilise to discover what type of messaging or images work best for your audience.

Clothing brand Everlane uses Builder.io to quickly add and update sections on its page.
5. Connected Inventory

Why we love it
It’s a great beginner-friendly app for ecommerce stores that want to create product bundles or sets, which can get quite confusing to track. The app automatically updates inventory in the background with no additional work needed from your end.
Pro-tip: You can either group your products manually or create smart connected groups, which the app automatically bundles based on their SKUs.

Paint Plot Australia uses Connected inventory to manage and track stock levels, especially since creating bundles means customers can either check out an item individually or buy it as a set. Without the app, ecomm businesses can easily miss out on updating product stock information when the same items are sold across multiple bundles.
That’s our top 5 Shopify apps of all time! We hope these apps can help you grow your business as much as they’ve helped us with our clients. If you’re still struggling to get your launch your ecommerce business, reach out to us.
