The Best Shopify Apps to Increase Sales
Shopify gives you what you need to run a successful ecommerce store straight out of the box, but if you want to fast-track your business growth, you’re going to need to extend the core functionality a bit. For that you’ll need some apps. Here are the best Shopify apps we have used to increase sales (and we’ve used a few!):

accessibe WCAG &
ADA Compliance
accessiBe is a web accessibility solution for WCAG and ADA compliance. This includes making your site accessible to visually impaired users and making it seizure and ADHD safe.
Non-compliant ecommerce stores make easy pickings for US lawsuits, but they also stand the most to gain when they do offer a solution.
Around 20% of users have some kind of condition that prevents them from using a non-compliant site, and once those 20% find brands that do cater for them, they tend to be very loyal.
Shopify Apps FAQ
How many Shopify apps are there?
There are now over 7,000 apps in the Shopify app store organised into 9 different categories: 1. Sourcing and selling products, 2. Store design, 3. Merchandising, 4. Marketing, 5. Conversion, 6. Fulfilment, 7. Shipping and delivery, 8. Customer service, 9. Store management
Is it possible to have too many Shopify apps installed?
Yes it is, as too many apps will slow your site down. But it’s important to remember that not all apps are created equally. Some are lightweight and will have very little to no impact on page load times, whereas others are code heavy and will have a major effect on site speed. So, it’s best to be selective about the apps you do install, making sure they really do add value. And, remember to remove any apps you’re no longer using – sometimes you’ll need to contact the app developer to make sure all the rogue snippets of code are removed as well.
