The top 10 apps merchants see when they search the Shopify App Store for instant section, in the exact order the store ranks them. Only Shopify's organic ranking is shown, never sponsored ads.
Updated September 8, 2026 · Organic rankingWhat these apps add is a theme app extension, and that mechanism is the whole reason to prefer one over pasting code. Sections arrive without altering your theme's files, you place them in the theme editor like any other section, and if you uninstall the app the blocks are removed from your themes entirely rather than left behind as broken markup. Keeping theme files untouched also matters for updates, since a theme updates itself automatically only while its files are in their original state.
The limits are published, and they arrive sooner than people expect on a busy home page: a JSON template holds a bounded number of sections, a section a bounded number of blocks. The other thing to plan for is that all of this lives inside one theme. Sections you add are part of that theme's own configuration, so publishing a new theme means building the page again in the new one.

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn
the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use,
and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must
integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through
installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring
ones with the badge is a safe default.
