Time to read: 4 minutes

What are the best Shopify apps for e-commerce owners? It depends on your goals. For effective fulfillment, we recommend ByteStand’s MCF Shipping App; for customer relationship management, HubSpot; for advertising; Order Legend for Google Shopping. Let’s look into them (and some more) in more detail.

The 5 Best Shopify Apps

Multi-Channel Fulfillment → MCF Shipping by ByteStand

First, let’s start with MCF Shipping—our app for multi-channel fulfillment. It enables you to fulfill your Shopify orders via Amazon FBA. Naturally, to do so you need to:

• store physical inventory in Amazon warehouses,
• own an Amazon Professional Seller’s account.

MCF Shipping is an excellent solution for e-commerce workers who want to utilize multiple channels, but at the same time don’t want to waste time managing them separately. Plus, it’s an excellent choice if you’re planning to expand abroad, as it’s available in the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, Japan, Australia and Europe!

Customer Relationships Management → HubSpot by HubSpot

HubSpot is a powerful tool for managing your customer data. It helps you organize the information about your customers and use it in your marketing and sales campaigns. The Shopify app is completely free and enables you to automatically sync all your information from your store into HubSpot, ensuring accurate and effortless data integration.

Google Shopping Advertising → Order Legend by Order Legend

Order Legend is an interesting app that manages your advertising in Google, ensuring that your products are visible in search results. It’s free to set up, but you need to pay a commission fee for any orders generated by the app. 

Order Legend is a good choice if you just started with your store and hiring a PPC specialist would be too much of a risk—the app makes you pay only for the orders it brought. However, if you run a larger store, you might want to replace it with an in-house expert.

Refunds Management → FreshCredit by ByteStand

FreshCredit is an app designed to manage your store credit. It provides you with a single interface for all your customers and helpful extra features, such as automated notifications or credit expiry. One of its main advantages is that it’s fully customizable—you can decide on the theme used, the position on the site, and the text displayed.

Multi-Channel E-Commerce Management → SnapySync by ByteStand

Finally, there is SnapSync. Simple on the surface, this app helps you cut down the time you spend managing your multi-channel e-commerce store. It’s designed to synchronize data from Amazon and Shopify, including information about:

• prices,
• stock levels (if the goods are stored in Amazon warehouses).

What makes it one of the best Shopify apps is that it also lets you introduce changes across both channels from a single interface, literally reducing the time you spend managing your store by half.

The Takeaway

The above are some of the best Shopify Apps you need to have in your store. Naturally, there are many more that you should consider (but also be careful, you don’t want to slow down your store since this may impact your sales). Some honorary mentions include:

• influencer marketing → Influencer Marketing Hero, by Influencer Hero,
• adding user-generated video content → VideoWise, by Videowise,
• social media marketing → InstaFeed + Story, by Adevole,
• customer service → Tidio – Live Chat & Chatbots, by Tidio,
• marketing and sales → PageFly Landing Page Builder, by PageFly.
