2026 Shopify Build Awards

Best apps of 2026

Discount Kit

A benchmark for building with Shopify Functions, Discount Kit stacks complex, combinable discounts natively, so they apply fast and exactly as intended, even at peak BFCM traffic. Plan entire campaigns around Discount Kit with the confidence that every discount applies with reliable precision, no matter how the promotions stack up.

Easyteam for Point of Sale

A showcase for what deep POS integration looks like. Scheduling, payroll, and commissions are built to feel like part of Shopify POS rather than a bolt-on, so a team member who can ring up a sale can already clock in. Easyteam sets the bar for retail apps, meeting staff exactly where they work and removing the friction that slows every busy store floor.

Smile: Loyalty Program Rewards

Smile didn't just build a loyalty app, it built a platform on top of Shopify's, with a public API other developers extend, all while staying tightly integrated with the platform. It's extensible, deeply-integrated software that you can rely on and developers can build on.
