Email marketing is one of the most reliable ways Shopify stores communicate with customers after they visit or purchase — through automated flows and campaigns.

Fulfillment covers how orders are stored, packed, and shipped to customers. Many Shopify brands use third-party logistics providers (3PLs) to handle fulfillment as order volume and operational complexity grow.

Review and user-generated content (UGC) tools help Shopify brands collect, manage, and display customer feedback and social proof. They are commonly used to build trust and support conversion.

Shopify apps are third-party tools that extend the functionality of a Shopify store. They help brands add capabilities such as marketing, analytics, automation, and operations without building custom solutions.

Shopify themes control the visual structure, layout, and user experience of a Shopify store. They define how products, collections, and content are displayed across desktop and mobile.

Site navigation and collections organize products and content so customers can easily find what they’re looking for. They play a key role in usability, product discovery, and conversion.
