App recommendations in Sidekick now available

App discovery and recommendations are now part of Sidekick, allowing merchants to find, compare, and install apps in chat. Sidekick uses App Store listing content to render standardized app cards, reducing steps to install.

Key features:

• Up to three relevant app cards for broad queries
• A single highlighted app card for strongly-matched apps
• App‑to‑app comparisons highlight key differences and Built for Shopify status
• Install directly from Sidekick

Guided search and comparisons in the App Store will soon retire.

To optimize your app's visibility in Sidekick, enable Shopify-managed installation to streamline your install experience. Also, check your App Store listing for accuracy, clarity, and structure. Achieving the Built for Shopify badge improves search ranking in both the App Store and Sidekick.
