# Partner apps

In addition to the top Shopify apps, **Vélare** works with **Uxsmart's** partner apps. These are apps Uxsmart has a partnership with; you install them the same way as any other app, and each one is supported by its own developer.

Every app below is a **third-party app** with its own pricing and its own support team.

None of these apps is required to run Vélare. Consider one when you want to grow an existing store (rewarding repeat customers, recruiting affiliates, improving SEO, or moving a catalogue over from another platform) rather than as part of the initial theme setup.

None of these apps is tied to a specific Vélare section or setting; they are simply apps that have a partner relationship with the theme. In particular, the variant apps (Color Swatch King, SA Variants, and SA Variant Image Automator) work alongside the theme's built-in swatches rather than replacing or conflicting with them.
