Ecommerce Website Development in Singapore

No GST is charged on our invoice, and the invoice says so. Whether you account for it under reverse charge depends on your input tax position: IRAS's guidance is that a GST-registered business making only taxable supplies is not impacted, a partially exempt business or one with non-business receipts accounts for GST on imported services in its own return, and a business that is not registered should ask its accountant, because an exempt business importing more than S$1 million of services in a year can be required to register. We would rather your accountant confirmed your position before the first invoice than reconciled it at year end.

We build to it rather than claiming a certificate. The consent, purpose limitation and notification obligations shape the forms and the data model; retention limitation means records are deleted on a schedule rather than kept indefinitely; access and correction requests are features with a queue behind them rather than a manual database job. Processing happens in India, so the transfer limitation obligation applies, and the processor agreement we sign sets out the comparable standard of protection the Act asks for. The obligation to design for early is breach notification: an organisation has three calendar days from determining a breach is notifiable, which means one likely to cause significant harm or one affecting 500 or more people, to tell the PDPC, and answering what was in the breach is only possible if the logging existed beforehand. Appointing a Data Protection Officer is your obligation rather than ours, and we will say so if a design choice would make that person's job harder.

Not PSG. The Productivity Solutions Grant funds pre-scoped packages from pre-approved vendors for Singapore-registered companies, and a custom build from an overseas team is not that shape, so we will not pretend it is. The Enterprise Development Grant is assessed project by project against its own criteria, and whether a build like yours qualifies is a question for Enterprise Singapore or your grant consultant to answer before the scope is written rather than after a budget has assumed it.

We can supply what a due-diligence pack asks for, accept audit and access rights in the contract, and name every sub-processor that touches your data. What we will also tell you in the first conversation is what we do not hold: we are not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified, and our security page says so in those words. Whether an engagement with us is a material outsourcing arrangement under the MAS guidelines, and what that requires of you, is your compliance team's determination, and it changes the contract before it changes the code, so it belongs in week one.

From S$540for a basic Shopify store on a free theme, S$1,300to S$3,700 for a full store with a custom theme, and more for custom Next.js builds. Add the running costs: platform fees, apps and payment gateway charges. We quote both so you can compare the real yearly number, not just the build.

Shopify if you want to launch fast and don't have a developer on call. WooCommerce once you're doing roughly S$0.046to 4 lakh a month in sales and the per-sale fees start to hurt, as long as someone keeps it updated. We build on both, so we don't have a reason to push either one.

Three to six weeks for most Shopify and WooCommerce stores. The slow part is usually the catalogue: product photos, descriptions and variant data. If those are ready, we move faster. Custom Next.js stores take longer, usually eight weeks and up.

Yes, all three are in the base scope. UPI through Razorpay or Cashfree, COD with rules by pin code and order value, and GST invoices generated per order with the right HSN codes. These are the things that cause the most pain after launch, so we don't treat them as extras.

Yes. We map every old product and category URL to its new one with 301 redirects, carry over titles and descriptions, and check Search Console after launch. Stores lose rankings in migrations when redirects are skipped, not because of the platform change itself.
