Must-have Shopify Apps for Dropshippers in 2018

There are lots of apps available in Shopify.

You can have 10 or more… It all depends on you anyway!

But, you have to make sure that everything you add to your store will all be helpful.

If you’re a beginner and you are getting overwhelmed with the choices on your table, then we will give you a list of the MUST-HAVE Shopify Apps that will surely give your conversion rate incredibly higher numbers.

1. Add to Cart & Checkout BOOSTER PRO / Sticky Bar & Cart, 1 Click Checkout Quick Buy

This helps your customers to easily have a product added to their carts especially when you have a very long product description.

They will no longer have to scroll back up to the usual Add to Cart button anymore. All they have to do is to click on the options such as the color, size, and quantity in the sticky bar located at the top of the screen and hit ADD to Cart button that can be seen too from that bar so the customer can place and review their orders efficiently and conveniently.

This leads to the increase in your conversion rate because the customers will find your store very accessible and user-friendly especially those who are using their mobile phones for shopping online.

2. Ali Reviews – Import Product Reviews from AliExpress in 1 Click – Product Review App

This app lets you import reviews to your store straight from AliExpress.

The good news is, even if you’re just starting, you can show “real reviews” to your customers from “real people” which increases trust for your store.

The stronger the trust, the higher the chance to make the people buy from you.

When they see the ratings and read reviews for your products, they will be more likely to buy them as well.

They might even send you a review too!

3. EU Cookie Banner

This app lets you add a Cookie Policy banner in your store.

You can also customize it according to your taste! Just remember to add your Privacy Policy url and click Activate whenever you are ready.

4. Hurrify – Countdown Timer

It is the most famous countdown timer app for Shopify.

It provides urgency and scarcity which are the most effective factors to increase conversion rate.

Hurrify makes the people rush or ‘hurry’ in purchasing a product that has a matching call to action and urgency message in the product description like “10 ITEMS LEFT! or SALE ENDS IN 10 MINUTES! etc.” I bet some of you got caught with this trick as well.

5. McAfee Secure

You can have this app for free!

This gives you an initial 500 views a month so it won’t hurt to add this to your list.

It also adds trust and like I said, trust increases the conversion rate.

6. Oberlo

This is the legendary time-saver for the dropshippers in terms of order fulfillment and adding products to their stores.

It allows you to import AliExpress products to your store efficiently. And with just one click, it automatically process your customers’ orders straight to your suppliers on Ali from product page to the shipping details page.

You can also update the tracking codes with this app. All it takes is just a click!

7. Recart – Messenger Marketing & Abandoned Cart Toolbox

Unlike the other similar apps, Recart has a lot more fruitful features to offer.

It has abandoned cart follow-ups that re-target your customers that did not proceed with the payment section.

Also, it has Facebook Messenger integration that is very effective to collect leads that can turn into buyers. It gives a certain % of discount or incentives to the people who will subscribe or sign up to your messenger list. Those people will then receive push notifications, whether they have bought from you or not, they will still be receiving promotions and offers.

These notifications usually lead to revisiting and end in successful checkouts!

8. Sales Pop by Beeketing

Last but definitely not the least, Sales Pop by Beeketing.

From its name, it effectively pops up sales – legit sales or purchases that you had from day 1 of running your store.

It shows other products that you offer and let your customers see which ones have been bought by whom.

With this function, it boosts social proof and your customers will see that people are buying from you and will make them confident to purchase from your store as well.

So these are the apps that we highly recommend you use to boost your sales and increase your conversion rate.

Remember to use them properly so that everything will run smoothly and so that you will be able to see success in your store sooner!
