The 10 Best Apps for
Music Shopify stores

NOT ON SHOPIFY YET?

DO YOU HAVE AN APP YOU RECOMMEND FOR THAT?

This is probably the number one question we receive when working with clients. With thousands of apps in the Shopify App Store, things can become overwhelming and clients tend to install a bunch of apps into stores with no strategy to use them.

So we've decided to make a list of the 10 best apps for an artist/band Shopify store.

Each of the apps on this list fits a core store need. After testing quite a few apps under each category, we have rounded up what we believe are the best of breed. Enjoy!
