Whether you want to improve email marketing or add customer reviews or anything, Shopify offers a large collection of apps in its app store you. Of course, you need to have unique and advanced features in order to make your Shopify store stand out.
The selection of apps depends on many factors such as the size of a store, target audiences, your brand, and needs. With hundreds of apps in the Shopify app store, you’ve got lots of options to choose from. That’s why we thought it would be helpful to showcase some of the best Shopify apps of 2017.
