Last month We Built A Profitable Shopify Store From The Groud Up.
If you’re new to FSO we build businesses from scratch every 30 days…
The Bizathon Challenge!
Last month was a huge success, not just for our team, but for many.
Because of this, we’re continuing with Shopify as the focus for Bizathon4.
This month we’ll scale our Shopify income by utilizing pro-level tactics.
Watch the video and discover the only Shopify Apps you need:
This is one of the most frequently asked questions across our social media.
“Which Shopify apps do I use?”
Many don’t put much thought into their Shopify apps.
Installing whichever shiny new app captures their eye.
If you don’t need it, don’t use it.
The more apps you have, the slower your site will be.
There should be an immediate need for any app installed on your website.
Quite frankly, when you’re just starting with Shopify, you really don’t need any.
Discover which Shopify apps we use and why we invite you to do the same…
The Only 12 Shopify Apps You Need
I’ll reiterate…
If you’re just starting, meaning you haven’t earned a sale, you don’t need apps.
With the exception of ZeroUp, your Shopify Apps list shouldn’t look ours.
Once you’re generating revenue, it make sense to invest into the business.
After testing an absurd amount of Shopify Apps over the past several weeks, we’ve come to appreciate a particular handful more than others.
The apps I’m about to cover all serve a specific purpose.
Our store is generating money, pretty darn good money at that.
We’ve now automated fulfillment, emails, customer service and so much more..
Here’s how we do it:
Abandonment Protector Plus
We want to prevent as many abandon carts as possible.
For whatever reason, your prospect gets all the way to the final checkout page, enters all their info, and then disappears.
This happens often, and not just to Shopify stores.
Abandonment Protector Plus helps protect against this with various incentives.
Crush.Pics
This app compresses image files to minimize server use while maximizing speed.
It also optimizes your image with all necessary alt attributes for search indexing.
This one isn’t required at first.
Once you upload several products, images and apps, Crush.Pics helps keep things running quickly.
CustomCat Fulfillment
This one is for our hybrid store, which we’ll discuss in an upcoming post.
This app handles all merchandise and physical product fulfillment needs by offering over 550 styles of t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, cell phone cases, embroidered hats, bags and more!
For now, here’s a link to CustomCat.
Frequently Bought Together Upsell
This is one of two upsell apps we use here at FSO.
It analyzes previous purchases to present products usually added at checkout.
Click here to install Frequently Bought Together.
In Cart Upsell
This is the second of two upsell apps we utilize.
When customers checkout, they’ll be gently presented with one of the preset offers you’ve configured, asking if they’d like to add to their order.
Click here for In-Cart Upsell.
Snappt Instagram Shop
This one is great if you’re actively implementing Influencer Marketing.
Makes it simple to make shoppable, embeddable Instagram galleries, catalogues & lookbooks from an Instagram feed and put anything in it.
Kit
This one is built by Shopify to handle some of your daily marketing activities.
In real-time, it recommends marketing activities most likely to help drive sales.
With a few text messages you can create and promote a discount code, start a retargeting campaign, send thank you emails, and much more!
Lucky Orange
Spying shows you want to win.
Lucky Orange will help answer why 99% of visitors never turn into customers.
You can identify the exact moment a visitor left your Shopify Store, and why.
MailChimp For Shopify
During the checkout process, Shopify asks your customers if they’re interested in receiving marketing information from your store.
When a customer completes an order and agrees, this app automatically subscribes them to your MailChimp list.
Click here to get MailChimp for Shopify.
Orderly Emails
This one doesn’t send any emails, but instead replaces or upgrades your store’s default templates with more professional and effective designs.
Effortlessly customize the emails that Shopify is already sending for your store.
Wheelio
Gamefication is key to getting users relaxed and likely to engage with a popup.
When a visitor is confronted with an ordinary pop-up window, they’re often annoyed and not likely to give you their email.
When visitor meet Wheelio, they feel like there’s genuine chance of winning big.
Chances of obtaining an email and the coupon being redeemed are enhanced.
ZeroUp
Automate grunt work and eliminate technical challenges for your Shopify store.
Once ZeroUp is connected to your store, it can design and create your entire eCommerce business with a few clicks.

Heeeey Rito the man!!
Is this apps list still current? Or has it changed now, a year later?
Also, why doesn’t Zeroup or Zeroup lite show up in the Shopify Apps store? Not a sign of it there when I search for it, and therefore no reviews. I love Fred Lam but this makes the app look kinda sketchy.
Any feedback appreciated.
