While setting up your Shopify store, you can install third-party apps that will enhance the customer experience. Third-party apps can help with shipping, payment, social media engagement, and much more. You can install a third-party app from the Shopify App Store or the third-party installation link. It’s easy to install an app: Login to your store and find the app you wish to use, then click “Add app” and the app should be installed on your store. If you don’t find an app that fits your needs and you have the skills at your disposal, you can even create your own custom app and upload it to your store.
