Free Shopify Apps

There is probably no Shopify store that can survive without additional applications. Choosing the right one is a really difficult task. It is best to rely on the experience of others, because this way you will save time - so in this post we will review the free Shopify must-have applications.

Shopify Bundles

Our newest and most anticipated Shopify app is Shopify Bundles . Many customers have had to code bundle functionality before, and now you can use a free app to do just that. Shopify Bundles will allow your store's customers to save money when buying bundles, and you to earn extra income.

Search & Discovery

Upsells, recommendations, and great search and filtering capabilities. Every e-commerce site needs these, and luckily, Search & Discovery is there. This app covers all of the above.

Filtering by types, tags, variants, price or even metafields. Ability to group filter values, rename them. And now filter values ​​can be translated into other languages. Search & Discovery is an essential app for improving navigation through filters. In addition, here you can select “perfect matches” products to display next to other products, Assign recommendations - another up-selling opportunity. At the same time, you will be able to manage search synonyms and see statistics on the most searched keywords.

Shopify Flow

We definitely need to talk about Shopify Flow . We think it's a powerful tool that was previously only available to Shopify PLUS stores. Starting this summer, Shopify Flow is available to everyone.

It's an automation tool that lets you automate a variety of tasks in your store. From automatically marking orders to sending emails to your team when inventory is low, or connecting customers to your favorite marketing program. The possibilities are endless, and the use case is up to you!

Shopify Email

A great alternative to marketing classics like Omnisend, Mailchimp, Klavyio, or Mailerlite - the Shopify Email application.

Full functionality, easy to create marketing emails ( drag and drop ). In this tool you will find 30+ ready-made templates adapted to the style of your store (and their number is constantly growing). Easily notify about promotions, news or unfinished purchases.

With this tool, you can send up to 10,000 emails per month for absolutely free, and then only $1 per 1,000 emails. You can also segment your customers and send emails to these specific segments. You can also embed products in your email using a direct checkout link. Since email marketing is still one of the most cost-effective methods that yields the best marketing results, having a great email marketing program is a must.

Shopify Forms

And if you already use Shopify Email, Shopify Forms is a great companion app. This tool is designed to collect information from your website visitors. Maybe you want to have a pop-up window on your website that collects email addresses? Maybe you’re organizing an event and would like to create a registration form for it? Shopify Forms will take care of that!

The recently updated app now allows you to add more fields to forms, which will later upload data to customers' metafields . The possibilities are constantly expanding, you just need to use them.

Shopify Translate & Adapt

A few years ago, implementing multilingualism in a store was a fairly big and expensive task - you had to use paid applications, and not everything was translated.

Today, thanks to Shopify, we have the Shopify Translate & Adapt app. It allows you to translate content into up to 5 languages ​​for free, and even performs automatic translations into two languages ​​for free. We use Shopify Translate & Adapt for all of our clients who are expanding into foreign markets. And these days, that's more than one in two.

Preparing to trade internationally has never been easier. Just don't forget to tidy up your translations in the Markets settings!

Shopify Geolocation

Once the translations are done, you need to make sure that your customers see the content that is specifically intended for them. Here, we recommend using Shopify Geolocation for all customers who sell internationally. With this application, you will ensure that your website visitors select the correct language and currency. Unfortunately, in Europe, automatic redirection of users is not allowed, but it is allowed to display a pop-up window with the message "you may want to change the language". Shopify Geolocation will take care of that for you!

Google & YouTube

This app can be mentioned in both the marketing and each store's section and sales sections. Google & YouTube will help you submit your product listing to Google Merchant Center and thus ensure that your products are included in the Google and YouTube sales channels. The most important feature is the connection with Google Analytics. Analyze traffic through these channels, place ads and measure them with Google & YouTube .

Shopify Privacy & Compliance

Absolutely every online store needs a privacy application ( cookie banner ).

In Europe, it is essential to ensure that consumer privacy is taken care of. Shopify Privacy & Compliance is a simple tool that gives customers the ability to choose what happens to their data. This is done using a cookie pop-up window. It offers the option to accept the privacy policy or manage cookie settings. The Shopify Privacy & Compliance application also fully complies with US and Canadian privacy laws.
