Why Use Shopify Integrations?

Shopify is a dynamic ecommerce platform that offers several integrations to level up your online store. The integrations allow you to improve user experience and boost sales by making it easier to design, market, support and automate communications and reporting.

What are Shopify Integrations?

Shopify integrations are apps and software that can sync with Shopify to extend helpful capabilities. Although the Shopify store provides helpful native features, third-party integrations can still improve your marketing and sales engines' efficiency.

Top Integrations by Category

Here are some of the top Shopify integrations that can help you grow your business, boost sales, and build your customer base.

Store design

Swatchy is a neat little app that allows you to design your store's color palette easily. You can customize colors on product and collection pages to enhance your overall customer experience. It's easy to install and remove — no coding required.

Sales and conversion

Increasing conversion rates and moving leads through your sales funnel can sometimes feel like a mysterious process, but these apps make it easy to cross-sell and upsell.

Smile

Smile is a free app that helps with cross-selling and up-selling. It is easy to configure and integrates with the Shopify checkout process. Smile is powered by AI and shows product suggestions based on a customer's purchase history.

Malomo

Malomo lets you build beautiful custom shipment tracking experiences that integrate with your Shopify communications. But the elegant feature of Malomo is its ability to offer product suggestions to upsell and cross-sell when customers check their package shipment tracking. It's an unobtrusive way to harness the incredible open rates shipmen tracking emails enjoy.

Marketing

The following integrations will help you market your Shopify store, so you can grow your sales funnel and increase your new customers.

MailChimp

When it comes to email marketing, almost everyone is familiar with MailChimp. MailChimp helps you build a subscriber base through email marketing automation.

Orders and shipping

Shipping and fulfillment is a critical component of your customer experience, and it's important to get right so your customers return.

Easy Ship

If you are fulfilling many international orders, Easyship lets you deliver with more than 100 carriers around the world. It also offers a free plan if your order volume is below 100 a month. Although the rates are slightly higher, they're worth it to streamline the hassle of international shipping.

Shippo

Productivity

Shopify management can be all-consuming. Other apps can help you better understand where you spend your time, so you can focus your efforts where they really matter.
