Increase Shopify Store Profits with These Power Apps

If you’re running a Shopify store and you’re not using apps to help your store work harder for you — you’re leaving money on the table.

I’ve been in the e-commerce world long enough to know that the difference between a store that survives and one that thrives often comes down to the systems and tools you put in place. And when it comes to increasing revenue without spending more on ads or constantly chasing new customers, these three Shopify apps are at the top of my list.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to optimize a store that’s already running, these are the apps I’d install today — no hesitation.

1. Frequently Bought Together

What if I told you that an app that cost $7.99 a month has generated these numbers on my personal e-commerce site, in the last 12 months? ⤵

That’s right, I’ve spent less than $100 in the last 12 months on The Frequently Bought Together app and it has converted $57,000 in revenue!

Ever notice how Amazon always shows you “customers who bought this also bought that”? That’s not an accident — it’s one of the most powerful revenue-boosting strategies in e-commerce. And with the Frequently Bought Together app, you can bring that same energy to your Shopify store.

What it does: This app uses product recommendations and bundle suggestions to encourage customers to add more items to their cart before checking out. Instead of buying one item, your customer buys two or three — and your average order value goes up without you doing a single extra thing.

Why I love it:

It’s incredibly easy to set up and customize
You can offer bundle discounts to sweeten the deal and make saying yes even easier for the customer
It works automatically in the background, so it’s making you money while you sleep
The ROI is almost immediate — more items per cart equals more revenue per transaction

If you sell products that naturally complement each other, this app is a no-brainer. Think skincare sets, kitchen tools, pet supplies, workout gear — the opportunities are endless.

2. Judge.me Product Reviews

Let me ask you something. When was the last time you bought something online without reading the reviews first? Exactly. Your customers are doing the same thing.

Judge.me is a product review app that makes it easy to collect, display, and leverage customer reviews, It’s one of the best investments you can make in your store’s credibility.

What it does: Judge.me automatically sends review request emails to customers after their purchase, collects star ratings and written reviews, and displays them beautifully on your product pages. It also supports photo and video reviews, which are absolute gold for building trust.

Why I love it:

Social proof is one of the biggest drivers of purchase decisions — reviews do the selling for you
Photo reviews from real customers are more convincing than any product photo you could take
It integrates with Google Shopping, so your star ratings can show up directly in search results
There’s a very generous free plan that works great for stores just getting started
More reviews = more trust = more conversions, plain and simple

If your store doesn’t have visible, plentiful reviews on your product pages, customers are likely not buying. Judge.me fixes that.

3. Back in Stock

Out of stock doesn’t have to mean lost forever. If a customer visits your store, finds a product they want, and sees it’s out of stock — that’s a potential sale walking out the door. Unless you have Back in Stock installed.

What it does: Back in Stock allows customers to enter their email or phone number to be notified the moment a sold-out product becomes available again. When you restock, the app automatically sends notifications and brings those warm, ready-to-buy customers right back to your store.

Plans start at only $19, sending up to 50 restock notifications a month. Below you can see with only 11 restock notifications sent, on this particular day, I recovered almost $479 of revenue! Worth it!

Why I love it:

These are your hottest leads — people who already want what you’re selling
The notification goes out automatically the second you restock, so you never miss the window
It builds your email and SMS list at the same time, which has long-term marketing value
It turns a frustrating customer experience (out of stock!) into a positive, attentive one
The conversion rate on back-in-stock notifications is incredibly high because the customer is already sold

For product-based businesses, unfortunately, those inventory gaps are inevitable. Back in Stock makes sure those gaps don’t cost you the sale permanently.

The Bottom Line

These three apps help your hard work, work harder! Maximize your Shopify store today:

Frequently Bought Together increases your average order value
Judge.me increases your conversion rate through social proof
Back in Stock recaptures customers who wanted to buy but couldn’t

None of these require a big budget or a tech background to set up. They’re practical, proven, and they work — which is exactly the kind of tool I love recommending to fellow small business owners.

Your store is already doing the hard work of attracting customers. These apps make sure you’re getting the most out of every single one of them. Go install them today — your future self will thank you! 🙌
