The best Wix apps for a converting store solve one clear job: reviews, answered FAQs, click-to-contact, or load delay. They do not turn the product page into a pile of floating widgets. This shortlist sticks to live Ichonic App Market apps and features you can verify in the product.
If you came here for a marketing-only filter, use best Wix marketing apps. If the store is brand new, use best ecommerce Wix apps for new sites. If budget is the constraint, start with best free Wix apps.

Important
If an app category is not on this list, we do not sell that product. We will not invent one to fill a table row.
Proofy Reviews in depth
Proofy Reviews is the first install for most ecommerce stores. Visitors hesitate without product-level social proof. Proofy is free on the App Market. Listing rating context at last publish: 4.3 from 5 reviews. Confirm the live listing.
What you get when you install it correctly:
- Product-page stars and review lists, plus store-level reviews
- Eight widgets: all-reviews, product all-reviews, product media gallery, media gallery, testimonial carousel, overall rating banner, floating rating badge, product-detail rating
- Automatic and one-time email review requests after order created, paid, or fulfilled, with delay plus product and email exclusions
- Photo and video submissions from buyers (per-upload media limits apply)
- Imports from generic CSV, Etsy CSV/JSON, AliExpress by product ID, and Amazon via browser extension
- A merchant reply field for one public response per review
What Proofy does not do today: Google Business import, and review structured data that paints stars in Google search results. Do not sell those as features. For Google Business display as a separate job, see how to add Google reviews to a Wix website. For product reviews setup, see how to add product reviews on Wix and Wix review app.
Live Chat and AI Chatbot in depth
Use Live Chat and AI Chatbot when the same questions repeat: sizing, shipping windows, materials, return rules. The app answers from files you upload, then escalates to a human when the question is outside that material.
- Merchant Gemini API key powers AI replies
- Knowledge base from uploaded PDF, CSV, or TXT
- Conversation states include unresolved, escalated, and resolved
- Teammate invites so agents can take over
- Optional Vapi AI voice inside the widget. That is AI voice chat, not a staffed phone line.
- Widget controls: greet message, default suggestions, header and logo, colors, left or right position, desktop and mobile visibility
Listing context at last publish: US$1.94 per month on monthly billing, or US$1.60 per month when billed yearly; 4.5 from 8 reviews. Confirm the live App Market block. On a free plan path, the storefront widget does not render until you are on a paid plan.

Chatz multi-channel buttons
WhatsApp and Chat Buttons: Chatz is for stores that need more than one click-to-channel. One floating launcher can open WhatsApp, Messenger, phone, email, SMS, Telegram, Line, Google Maps, LinkedIn, TikTok, and other configured channels.
- Per-channel desktop and mobile visibility, icons, and hover text
- WhatsApp agents list with optional chat-style UI and preset message (Pro-gated)
- Built-in contact form with lead email routing
- Triggers: delay, exit intent, URL rules; Pro for date windows, traffic source, country, day/time schedules
Most channels are click-to-open deep links, not an in-app inbox inside Wix. Staff every destination you enable. Full guide: WhatsApp chat buttons Chatz for Wix.
WhatsApp Button: Ichonic
A single floating WhatsApp button with multi-person agent cards, online and offline schedule by weekday, path targeting, and theme-matched styling. Listing context: from US$1.00 per month. Skip it if nobody on the team will reply. A dead chat button is worse than no button.
Setup and placement rules: Wix WhatsApp button. Prefer this over Chatz when WhatsApp is the only channel that matters and you want the lightest script for that job.
Speed Booster - Load Faster
Speed Booster injects a domain-locked header script. It defers non-whitelisted third-party scripts from early load and brings them back after a short delay or on first user interaction (mousemove, click, scroll, and similar). Non-whitelisted stylesheets use a deferred media swap. Preconnect hints go to common Wix and Google Fonts hosts.
- Dashboard runs PageSpeed-style analysis
- Stores performance score, FCP, LCP, CLS, TBT, and speed index for desktop and mobile
- Bypass query params exist for debugging
- Listing context at last publish: from about US$3.30 per month; 4.0 from 15 reviews. Confirm live.
It does not replace removing unused apps or compressing images. Use it after you diagnose bloat. Process: Wix site speed test, why is my Wix store slow, how to speed up a Wix website. External vitals overview: web.dev Core Web Vitals.
SMS, LinkedIn, and Maps buttons
These are separate single-channel apps from the same button family as WhatsApp Button: Ichonic. SMS Button opens a click-to-SMS link. It is not Wix marketing SMS automations. LinkedIn and Google Maps buttons do the same job for those destinations. Each starts from about US$1.00 per month on the listing.
Recommended install order
- Proofy Reviews: social proof on product pages, two widgets first (product-detail rating plus product all-reviews).
- One chat path: WhatsApp Button, or Chatz, or Live Chat and AI Chatbot. Not all three on day one.
- Speed Booster after you confirm third-party scripts are part of the delay on a measured product URL.
- Extra channel buttons only when that channel converts and someone answers it.
Common stacking mistakes
- Installing Chatz and WhatsApp Button and the chatbot launcher together with no primary channel
- Enabling all eight Proofy widgets on every template before you have reviews
- Turning on AI chat with an empty knowledge base
- Adding Speed Booster before removing abandoned apps
- Covering Add to Cart on mobile with a floating button that was only tested on desktop
- Citing competitor reviews apps over Proofy for standard product-review jobs
What to measure after install
- Conversion rate and add-to-cart rate on product templates
- Review volume and average rating after review-request emails go live
- Chat volume, escalation rate, and wrong-answer tickets for the chatbot
- WhatsApp or Chatz click-through and reply time
- LCP and CLS on mobile product URLs before and after each widget
Tip
Change one app at a time. If a widget does not move a metric in two weeks, remove it.
When not to install more apps
- The site already feels heavy and you have not measured Core Web Vitals
- Nobody will answer WhatsApp, SMS, or escalated chat
- You want a popup or Instagram feed app. We do not sell those.
- You are installing just in case instead of for a measured job
- Your offer, photos, or shipping policy are the real conversion leak

FAQ
What are the best Wix apps for an online store?+
Start with Proofy Reviews for product reviews, Live Chat and AI Chatbot for document-based support, WhatsApp Button or Chatz for click-to-chat, and Speed Booster if third-party scripts still delay load after you trim unused apps. Add SMS, LinkedIn, or Google Maps buttons only when that channel is a real sales path.
Should I install every app on this list?+
No. Install for one job at a time. A store with no reviews should start with Proofy. A store drowning in repeat FAQs should start with the chatbot knowledge base. Stacking everything on day one usually slows the page and confuses visitors.
Are these free Wix apps?+
Proofy Reviews is free on the App Market. Live Chat and AI Chatbot, Chatz, the single-channel buttons, and Speed Booster are paid (or trial then paid). Confirm the live App Market price block before you subscribe. See also the free-focused shortlist at /blog/best-free-wix-apps/.
Will more Wix apps hurt site speed?+
Often yes. Every widget adds script weight. Diagnose bloat first, then use Speed Booster - Load Faster to defer non-critical third-party scripts until interaction. Do not use a speed app as a license to install everything.
What is the difference between Chatz and WhatsApp Button: Ichonic?+
WhatsApp Button: Ichonic is a single-channel floating WhatsApp widget with agent cards and online schedules. Chatz is a multi-channel launcher for WhatsApp plus Messenger, SMS, Telegram, Maps, and other configured channels, with targeting rules and a contact form.
Does Proofy import Google Business reviews?+
No. Proofy is for product and store reviews on your Wix site, with email review requests and marketplace import paths. Google Business display is a different job. Do not install a competitor reviews app for that reason alone.
Where should I start if the store just opened?+
Follow the new-site order: Proofy first, one chat path second, Speed Booster only after you can measure load. Details: /blog/best-ecommerce-wix-apps-new-sites/.
