Shopify has a number of free apps that you can use to enhance your online store. In our previous post about top free Shopify apps, we looked at apps for enhancing your receipts, including product reviews, printing orders, managing email newsletters, and more.

In this month’s edition of top free Shopify Apps, we will go over how to create a simple coupon pop up for your store, have a page on your store with your social media streams, enable targeted marketing within your store, and manage shipping information.

Many businesses and customers rely on invoices to keep track of inventory and goods purchased from online stores. Shopify has a number of apps and tools to help you create a lasting impression with your Shopify invoices.

Invoices may be a minor part of a customer’s interaction with your store. But, a well designed, delivered-on-time, and branded invoice shows that you (and your brand) puts that little extra care in all things you do. You can automate and customize your invoices easily without any code on Shopify.

Promotions, flash sales, and discounts are a good way to clear out inventory and increase your sales. Your Shopify store comes out-of-the-box with the ability to provide discounts through promo codes for your products.

You can select a discount as a dollar value or a percentage off of the original price of a product. But you may want to give customers different discounts based on specific products (or product variants) or deals for only a certain time-period after which these automatically expire. Enter the Daily Deal app.

You put a lot of effort into creating a great product that you know people are going to love and one that will create value for your customers. You’ve also created a great Shopify store to sell this product. You have thought of a business plan, thought of ways to provide great customer support, implemented social sharing, and ways to improve end-to-end customer experience.

But all these matter only when people are already on your Shopify site and make a purchase. Marketing your store and products to new customers

Shopify gives you an easy to use platform to set up your eCommerce store. You get many features out-of-the-box that you can set up (without needing to know any code!) using Shopify’s user-friendly backend. Shopify includes features like customizing the design of your website storefront, categorizing products you want to sell on your online store, connecting to payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal, and more.

You also get access to Shopify’s App Store that lists hundreds of apps that can enhance your store by adding features and functionality both on the front and the back end. Although many apps have a monthly price to use, you don’t have to go broke in order to get some great add-ons to your store.
