At SHOPLINE, we believe the right tools are the engine of e-commerce growth. Our App Store is home to thousands of solutions designed to unlock new opportunities for your ecommerce stack. Today, we're thrilled to announce a major evolution of the SHOPLINE App Store, rebuilt from the ground up to deliver a more intelligent, fluid, and powerful experience for both our merchants and developers.

This update is all about connection—connecting merchants to the perfect apps for their needs and connecting developers to a wider audience of prospect merchant users. Let's dive into what’s new.

🛍️ For Merchants: Effortless Discovery & Installation for Unstoppable Growth

We've transformed the experience of discovering and installing apps  and installing apps into a  more seamless and intuitive journey. Users can easily discover the right apps and tools with less effort.

1. Effortlessly identify the apps that fit your needs—fast and precisely.

Finding the perfect tools for your business should be fast and intuitive, and our new enhanced discovery features make that possible.

  • Smart recommendations on the homepage: Your store is unique, and your app recommendations should be too. Our new homepage intelligently suggests apps based on your specific operational context, helping you discover growth opportunities before you even have to search.
  • Enhanced search functionality: Our now-intelligent search, paired with multi-dimensional filters, instantly narrows your options and locks in the most relevant applications.
  • Refined category browsing: Browse apps through a streamlined classification system organized by your business needs, from marketing and fulfillment to customer service and more advanced use cases.
  • Optimized homepage structure: The redesigned flow shifts effortlessly from search to exploration, featuring a layout crafted to inspire continuous discovery and make finding new apps both productive and enjoyable.
  • Immersive visual experience: With redesigned sections and cards that surface each app’s core value, browsing becomes clearer, more visual, and far more intuitive.


2. Make Confident Decisions with Redesigned App Detail Pages

When you identify apps that may suit your needs, quick evaluation is essential, and our redesigned detail pages enable fast, informed decisions.

  • Comprehensive information at a glance: By surfacing features, pricing, ratings, and screenshots on the first screen, you can immediately grasp an app’s value and decide if it’s what you are looking for.
  • Clear, logical structure: By structuring content around natural reading flow, key details about each app become easier to find. 
  • Streamlined, intuitive interaction: A cleaner UI now presents product information, pricing, and reviews at a glance, eliminating unnecessary scrolling.

🌟 For App Developers: Maximized Exposure & Supercharged Conversion

A great app deserves to stand out, and our latest updates ensure it does by boosting visibility and optimizing discoverability to convert interest into installation.

1. Multi-entry recommendations

We’ve increased your app’s reach and added more engagement touchpoints across the merchant browsing journey to drive stronger discovery.

  • Multi-Dimensional Exposure: You can now showcase your app across key areas of the store—including the homepage, category pages, search results, app detail pages, and even the merchant’s backend My Apps section.
  • Success story carousels: Rotating case study carousels bring real merchant wins to the forefront, showing the value your app delivers and influencing other merchants to do the same.


2. Optimized Conversion Funnel


Seeing your app is one thing—installing it is another. That’s why we’ve refined the entire conversion journey to drive higher installation rates.

  • Enhanced detail page layout: We’ve restructured the app detail pages to surface your app’s most important benefits and present a prominent, compelling call-to-action that drives higher installation rates.
  • One-click install from recommendation widgets: Our new recommendation widgets let merchants install your app directly from the widget, eliminating the need to open the detail page and significantly increasing conversion efficiency.
  • Highlighted quality reviews: Your app can now prominently display rich, interactive reviews alongside ratings and case studies, amplifying trust and more effectively driving users to install.

As we roll out these updates, I’m more confident than ever in the value they will unlock for our entire ecosystem. With smarter discovery, experiences that promote quicker decision-making, and a dramatically smoother installation journey, merchants can now build their ideal tech stack with unprecedented ease. 

At the same time, developers gain richer exposure, more meaningful engagement, and a conversion path designed to spotlight their best work. This evolution of the SHOPLINE App Store isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a leap forward that strengthens the partnership between merchants and developers, empowering both sides to innovate faster and grow further. And this is only the beginning; we’re building a future where every app, every integration, and every experience drives more impact than ever before.

Ready to see what’s next?

Explore the newly reimagined SHOPLINE App Store and experience a faster, smarter way to discover, evaluate, and install the apps that power growth. Whether you’re a merchant building your ideal tech stack or a developer ready to reach more high-intent users, the new App Store is designed to help you move faster and go further.
