The different app types

In Shopify's App Store you will find three different app types:

• Public apps
• Custom apps
• Private apps

The public apps cover those listed in Shopify's App Store. This means that these are the ones you can install on your webshop.

The custom apps can only be installed in one Shopify Webshop, and therefore you will not find them in the App Store.

The private apps are developed exclusively for your Shopify Webshop. It is thus your private apps.

Filling apps in a shop can be quite a sport. However, we recommend that you be careful about how many you choose to install. They help to make your webshop heavier to load, and thus it will also be slower. Therefore, you should rather spend your time and money on a few well-chosen apps that attribute value to your webshop instead of the small, free features that do not have the big effect on the bottom line.

All apps are paid either through a monthly fee, a one-time fee or a fee for each time you use it. Most apps offer a free basic subscription or a free trial period, and therefore you can freely test the various apps before investing in them.

And let us help you along the way. We have gathered the 10 best apps. You can read about them below.

How to find the right apps for your webshop

When there is such a large selection of different functionalities that you can add to your Shopify Webshop, it can be difficult to choose which ones to try and invest in. Therefore, there are a few well-chosen questions that you should start with. ask yourself:

• What does my webshop need?
• What will increase my sales?
• How does it become easier to manage my webshop?
• How much money will I spend?

The apps you need to integrate into your webshop are the ones that can answer the questions.

You can easily find the various apps in Shopify's App Store. You can search for eg function or name via the search field, and you can segment them by category. It can be SEO, for example.

Once you have found an exciting app, you can see how others have reacted to it. You can read app reviews and look at the overall star rating. It gives you a good overview of efficiency.

But be careful!

Just because an app works in one webshop, it does not necessarily work in you and vice versa. Often it depends on the interaction between the different apps and the chosen theme, the industry you are in and the general design and expression you choose to express your vision for your webshop.
