Leveraging the power of social proof, Sales Pop helps create the sense of a busy store by displaying notifications of recent sales on the corner when someone visits the website. Once installed, the app automatically syncs with store’s data to retrieve latest successfully orders and turn them into notification pop up. Your store is new and hasn’t got any sales yet?

Earn more revenue with built-in product upsells and refer-a-friend functionality.
 

Personalized Recommendations

 

 
70% of Amazon’s homepage is dedicated to product recommendations. Embracing this idea, Personalized Recommendations is a must-have Shopify app that increases your revenue by showing the right product, to the right customers, at the right time. The app creates smart recommendation widgets to tailor product recommendations based on customer’s behavior on your store. For first time visitors, they will see recommendations based on other shoppers’ browsing and buying patterns. For return customers, they will see personalized recommendations based on their browsing habits from the past.
Personalized Recommendation app builds 5 types of widgets and gives you the options to set up appropriate types of recommendation on each page: Customers who bought this also bought Best sellers of the store Recently viewed & featured recommendation Recommendation based on cart What’s special: Smart upsell popup to lift up your add-to-cart rate and boost more sales. When customers add an item from recommendations widget, a nice & clean upsell pop up will come up to suggest them more related items they most want to buy.
 

Checkout Boost

 

 
Social word-of-mouth is more powerful than you may think. The fast-growing social networks today cannot stay out of business when more and more people are buying online via referral, reviews, and suggestions on social media. Here’s the idea of this app: offer your customers a discount code/free shipping code/free gift if they share their carts on Facebook or Twitter. This does not only bring you enormous traffic from social media but also incentivizes customers to finish their order.
 

LuckyOrange

 

 
Lucky Orange will help you answer the question, “Why don’t 99% of my visitors convert?” with in-depth analytic reports so you can have the best insights into your Shopify store’s customer behaviors. Watch anonymous recordings of visitors navigating and interacting with your site. You will be able to see every mouse movement, click, and scroll which will help you answer the question of what are my visitors really doing on my website? Perhaps they’ve never even seen your call to action button, or maybe it doesn’t even work. Discover a wealth of information in seconds with our visitor recordings.
 

Audience Push

 

 
Audience Push is an essential app for all Shopify store owners who utilize Facebook advertising. After connecting to your Facebook (which you can do in a single click), Audience Push will automatically update your Facebook Custom Audience list with details of each new customer to your store. It’s a huge timesaver that could make a massive difference to your bottom line.
 

Order Printer

 

 
Being able to print invoices, receipts, and packing labels is essential to any e-commerce store. Unfortunately, that ability isn’t built into Shopify as standard, which makes Order Printer an indispensable plugin for Shopify store owners. The layout and design of Order Printer’s documents are completely customizable, and to save time, you can print whatever you need in bulk.
 

Edit Order

 

 
Edit Order makes it really easy to edit a completed order. This means you can alter an incorrectly placed order. For example, if a customer has ordered an item in the wrong size or color, or to change a billing address, or to change the price of an order after receipt. It also helps to streamline your returns policy.
 

Abandonment Protector

 

 
Sometimes a person will be on your site adding items to their cart, and they exit. There are hundreds of reasons why, but this app retrieves people who abandon the cart and reminds them via email. You can send multiple emails encouraging them to continue with the purchase. Abandonment Protector also lets you send these emails at time intervals you set, so you can use the stats about email click-throughs to see which intervals/times work best.
 

Retarget App

 

 
Whenever someone clicks on your Facebook ad but doesn’t buy, this app will retarget them. The backend of this app is super technical – it does all of the retargeting automatically. It dynamically creates the Facebook ad, inserts the product that they were viewing. You just have to write the ad text. You can set a budget that you’re comfortable and let it go. 10% of campaign spending is a lot of money to pay to an app owner, but I’ve made a lot of money from this app. Just test it out and see if it works for your campaign.
