Not many words sound as glorious to a startup small business owner than "free" or "boost sales". When you combine the two words in the same sentence you get more attention than a cupcake in an elementary school cafeteria!
Here are three FREE Shopify Apps that can help boost your sales and satisfy your customer service sweet tooth! (Spoiler alert: Pun Intended)

Eliminate guest checkouts and gain valuable email addresses by rewarding points for registering an account.
