How it sells itself

Hintr lets customers recommend products to friends directly from your product pages. They fill out a short form, and Hintr sends a branded email with product details and an optional discount code. Merchants control which products show the share button, customize email templates, and track referrals and resulting orders through the dashboard!

Psst adds a "drop a hint" button to your product pages. When a customer spots something they want, they can send a hint email to a friend or family member, nudging them to buy it as a gift. What more could you ask for, let your customers pass on their recommendations and wants to their family and friends. Hints are sent instantly via email with the product image, price, and a direct link to buy.

Key points
  • Share by email: Send product recommendations to friends from any product page.
  • Discount codes: Include a percentage or fixed amount discount in shared emails.
  • Flexible targeting: Enable hints for whichever products/collections desired.
  • Template editor: Customize email designs with a visual drag-and-drop builder.
  • Customers send product hints to friends and family with one click
  • Customise the hint button text and email subject to match your brand
  • Works with every Shopify theme. Add the app block, no code needed
  • Track hints sent, delivery status, and usage from your dashboard

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
