Last updated 1 month ago

To ensure your store runs smoothly and uses all the features of the Materia Theme, we recommend installing the following essential Shopify apps.

These apps are not included in the theme package, but they are available for free on the Shopify App Store and are important for key functionalities like product reviews and smart search.

1. Judge.me Product Reviews

Purpose: Display customer reviews, star ratings, and build trust with buyers.

Why it’s essential: Materia integrates perfectly with Judge.me to display product ratings, review carousels, and trust badges across your store. This improves conversion rates and adds social proof to every product.

Key Features:

  • Collect photo/video reviews with automated emails

  • Show star ratings on product cards and Google results

  • Add trust badges, review sliders, and Q&A sections

  • Customize design and wording to match your store

  • Share reviews on Facebook, Instagram, and Google Shopping

  • Works with the Shop app, Facebook, and Instagram to sync reviews


2. Shopify Search & Discovery

Purpose: Improve how customers find products and increase order value with personalized recommendations.

Why it’s essential: Shopify’s official Search & Discovery app helps you customize filters, search relevance, and suggest related items. Materia uses this app to enable smart product discovery features like filter by size, color, category, and product recommendations.

Key Features:

  • Add custom filters on collection pages

  • Control product search relevance

  • Boost specific products in search results

  • Show related or complementary products on product pages

  • Get insights with built-in analytics tools


4. Shopify Translate & Adapt

Purpose: Multilingual store support

Why it’s essential: If you want to sell in multiple languages, Shopify Translate & Adapt helps you easily translate your store content and adapt specific messaging for different markets. Materia fully supports Shopify’s native translation system, and this app is the best way to manage it.

Key Features:

  • Translate product pages, checkout, and theme content

  • Customize messaging for specific languages or regions

  • SEO support for multiple languages

  • Works natively with Glozin theme’s localization features

  • No need for third-party translation plugins

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.


If you need help setting up these apps or connecting them to the Glozin theme, feel free to reach out: 📩 team@materiathemes.com

We’re here to help you get the most out of your theme.
