We understand that starting an ecommerce store can be overwhelming and time consuming. But fret not, because there is an extensive number of apps and integrations designed to support your business.
To help you leverage on the right tools for more advanced functions, I’ve compiled a list of 5 must have apps for BigCommerce stores. From shipping to lead generation and email marketing, let’s begin exploring!
1. Justuno
Justuno’s sign up bar helps you collect your visitor’s emails. It is a non-intrusive method of growing your mailing lists and boosting sales through email marketing. You can customise your message or offer on the bar and choose to install it on either the header or footer of your store’s website.
2. Boost Sales
Boost Sales app helps online stores increase average order value by upselling & cross-selling to every customer, just like Amazon. When customers add an item to a cart, the app will upsell related products that they most likely want to buy.

Besides hand-picking relevant items to recommend for each offer, you can turn on the automated upsell/cross-sell feature so the app can handle the job for you. Using smart recommendation algorithms, it collects customer browsing behaviors and your sales data to suggest personalized products that each customer most likely wants to purchase.

3. SmartrMail
SmartrMail is a marketing tool for ecommerce stores to send personalized shopping emails to get more sales. Compose personalized one-to-one messages based on each customer’s browsing and shopping behavior. The platform also helps you develop auto-product emails, quicker email newsletters, and smart-triggered abandoned cart & visit follow-up emails. With personalized emails, you can expect to get 760% more sales with your store.
4. POWr Social Feed
Being a visually-driven platform, Instagram has become an integral marketing channel for ecommerce stores. A link on your Instagram bio can help drive traffic to your website. Vice versa, if you integrate your Instagram feed into your website, it can help boost followers, likes, and shares. POWr Social Feed is a great automated tool that allows you to embed your Instagram pictures onto your website.
5. ShipStation
