How to turn your shopify store into an app

There are so many Shopify store-building services out there for each and every one of your business needs. Whether you want to add customer reviews, improve email marketing, publish your products to Facebook, or get in-depth analytics, there’s definitely an app for that. Hence it is difficult to choose the right one that suits your needs.

Look out for these things while converting your Shopify website to an app:

Ease of Use: No tool in the world is worth investing in if you can’t (or don’t have the time) to use it. Make sure your Shopify app is dummy-proof and can be easily used by you or your team.

Efficiency: Whatever app you select is presumably trying to solve one of your marketing or sales problems. Make sure your app does this in the most efficient way possible.

Affordability: A universal consideration for investing in any tool is pricing. You’ll want to weigh the cost of the app against the potential rewards (many of these tools can pay for themselves when used properly!).

Support: Lastly, you’ll want to make sure the app is regularly updated and has a support team in place. That way, you’re never left feeling “stuck” as you troubleshoot any pesky tech problems.
