For the second consecutive year, ShopiShopa Consulting, a Shopify Plus & Shopify POS Technology Consulting boutique for mid-sized and major corporations, is announcing its Top 5 Apps selection.
The Shopify ecosystem is built around companies providing extra value to the platform, especially via the App Store and its thousands of amazing Apps. As Shopify and IT experts, we have the opportunity to test and use many Apps on a day-to-day basis.
Some Apps are so good and delivering so much value to our clients, that we have decided to put them forward into our Top 5 Apps!
Our selection methodology is crystal clear: no questionnaire, no (paid or not) registration, no criteria listing. Just our amazing experience with these Apps and their teams!
