Translate your shop by Langify
Do you sell internationally? Customers from multiple countries are searching for the products that you probably have. So why leave them behind? A multilingual storefront makes shopping more friendly and gives you loyal customers.

Langify automatically detects visitor's geographical location and creates a redirect to a mirror page translated into another language. The application allows you to assign multiple domains to your languages. You can have your Spanish content available at es.myshop.com or myshop.es. At the same time, if the visitor appeared to prefer another language, they can switch to another one.

SEO will also be translated for the mirror page. The developer declares that the translation of the page will not affect the theme and the store will look fine on any device.

#2 Wishlist Plus by Swym Corporation

Improve site search by Smart Search & Instant Search App
Google is investing billions into its search functionality, so why don't you do the same and spend a couple of bucks to provide your customers with a convenient on-site search tool?

Smart Search & Filter replaces the default Shopify search. After indexation of your inventory, the search offers visitors products as they start typing in the search box. Even if they mistype, the app will offer relevant variants from the collection, product or even the content pages. The first suggestion springs up right from the first letter the same second you start typing. If no matches were found, the tool will suggest something close to what you were searching for. So your customers will never get stuck on a "nothing was found" page.

Moreover, it's far from being only a smart search tool now. Searchanise covers all the navigation through your store with smart filters for search results and collections, upselling and cross-selling blocks like Customers also bought and advanced promo functionality like product merchandising and product labels.

Another great thing is that Smart Search & Filter is integrated with all the above apps - as well as many more, inclduing other customer review apps.
