Therefore, you should use those apps that best contribute to high online sales performance.

And if you have already implemented or intend to implement your virtual store with the VTEX platform, then check out this list of types of apps available at VTEX APPs and choose the best ones for your business:

1 - Means of payment:

These are apps like Apple Pay, Masterpass, and PayPal Plus, which, once installed on your e-commerce website, allow consumers to make payments via digital wallet.

It's important to remember that, in addition, stores created and managed via the VTEX platform also accept other types of payments.

For example, credit cards, debit cards, bank slips and cash are some alternatives.

2 - Logistics:

The “Reverse Logistics” application promises to automate the return of packages by the Post Office.

In this way, the app aims to reduce the operational costs of your e-commerce.

Of course, the purpose of e-commerce is not for consumers to return the products they have purchased. However, this app optimizes the process if a return occurs.

3 - SAC:

The VTEX App Store currently has a customer service system, the Mercado Livre App.

This application allows you to serve your Mercado Livre customers from your VTEX store panel.

This way you get more practicality to operate your sales channels.

4 - Marketing:

With VTEX Shopping Ads , you can synchronize your VTEX store's products with Google Merchant Center.

With this, you can create and manage Google Shopping ad campaigns with your store's products from your VTEX dashboard.

Still on Marketing, Movile SMS allows you to configure and send text messages to your customers also via VTEX.

In short, with these apps you have more agility and practicality to promote your brand.

5 - Security:

The Antifraud Provider app makes it possible to integrate VTEX with anti-fraud service companies.

It's a hand on the wheel that helps prevent cybercriminals from stealing data and payments made in your online store.

6 - Infinite Shelf:

InStore Setup is available at the store, an app that – together with a machine of the same name – allows you to take your e-commerce site into your physical store.

In this way, your physical shelf is transformed into an infinite shelf.

Then, when a consumer does not find the desired product in your offline store, he can buy directly from your online store and receive it via traditional shipping at home.

7 - Tax calculator:

The Avalara Tax Calculator determines, in real time, the taxes of the product being purchased by a consumer.

Avalara , for those who don't know, is a company that provides cloud-based tax solutions.

Thus, your invoices can be issued correctly.
