Why Are These Apps Required?
These apps allow Materia to deliver essential online store features that every Shopify business needs to perform well — from building trust with reviews to helping customers find exactly what they want faster.
⚠️ Without these apps, certain features (like review stars or smart filtering) will not appear on your storefront, even if the theme supports them.
