Also called a module, a 3dcart app is a plugin to expand the features of your store. Many 3dcart apps are already built in, but more can be installed to further extend functionality and integrations. You can find 3dcart apps at https://apps.3dcart.com/. Some 3dcart apps allow integration between your store and a third party service which provides advanced features such as advanced search, address verification, or more detailed statistics. Some apps require a fee for use, but many are free.

How do apps help my 3dcart store?

The goal of 3dcart’s app store is to provide you with options to add new 3dcart features, or even expand your store in ways outside the normal bounds of 3dcart by connecting you with third parties that can provide you with eCommerce services. The benefit of the 3dcart apps is that they provide a way for the third party services to “plug in” to your store, allowing them to integrate seamlessly, rather than having to figure it out yourself and hope for the best.
