Choosing the right apps for your business can feel overwhelming. You not only need apps that can support your business of today, but that can grow seamlessly alongside it, scaling with you to every new height.
So how can you know which apps to count on?
When browsing the Shopify App Store, look for the Built for Shopify badge. This badge guarantees that an app has been built to Shopify’s highest standards, offering a wide range of benefits for both you and your customers.
What does “Built for Shopify” mean for you?
Apps with the Built for Shopify badge have been rigorously tested to deliver on four key areas:
- Trustworthiness
- Fast
- Easy to use
- Proven useful
They’re the apps we trust to help merchants grow and succeed.
Don’t just take our word for it—merchants love apps with the Built for Shopify badge. These apps earn higher ratings, glowing reviews, and are more likely to become essential parts of a merchant’s tech stack compared to non-badged apps.
But what exactly does Built for Shopify mean for your business? Let’s break down how each of these areas deliver an exceptional app experience for both you and your customers:
Trustworthy
Security is a top priority for any online business, and Built for Shopify apps are specifically designed to protect your data. Each app is evaluated for stringent security standards, ensuring that your store information, customer data, and operational details are safe. With these apps, you can trust that your data is being handled responsibly.
Fast
One of the biggest frustrations for online shoppers is slow loading times, and Shopify recognizes how essential it is to minimize this. Built for Shopify apps are optimized for fast performance, making sure they don’t compromise your site’s speed. Faster load times keep customers engaged, create a smoother browsing experience and keep cart abandonment to a minimum, allowing you to focus on sales rather than technical hiccups.
Easy to use
Built for Shopify apps save you time by working seamlessly within Shopify's admin and POS. These apps are designed to fit right into your daily workflows, keeping everything—settings, tasks, and reports—within Shopify so you don’t need to juggle multiple platforms. They also follow Shopify’s design practices, which means they’re intuitive and easy to use. With a user-friendly design and smooth setup, you and your team can spend less time figuring out new tools and more time growing your business.
Useful
Every Built for Shopify app is required to prove its value to merchants. To qualify, apps must demonstrate their potential impact on your business operations, and must be vetted and reviewed by a minimum number of merchants to be considered useful. These apps are built to enhance your store, streamline operations, or increase customer engagement. This ensures you’re investing in tools that will make a real difference.
Built for Shopify: A commitment to quality
Choosing a Built for Shopify app is about more than convenience—it’s a commitment to quality and performance. These apps are held to a high standard, so you can feel confident knowing they’ve been tested for excellence across multiple factors.
