Shopify

Shopify is a Canadian e-commerce platform for building and running online stores, so pick your plan, then sign up through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. It provides hosted infrastructure, payment processing, checkout and an app ecosystem. Shopify Singapore serves SG-based merchants with SGD billing, PayNow and local payment support via Shopify Payments and third-party gateways, and access to the Shopify Plus enterprise tier. Sign up via shopify.com/sg. Activate ShopBack via the Shopify SG merchant page to earn cashback on eligible new subscription sign-ups at the current published rate. ShopBack Singapore is an essential step before you check out at Shopify Singapore: go through it before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback.

Shopify lists Basic, Shopify (mid tier), Advanced, and Shopify Plus (enterprise) plans. Basic is the entry tier for small merchants; Shopify and Advanced add lower transaction fees, more staff accounts, and deeper reports; Plus is for high-volume merchants with checkout customisation and B2B features. There's also a Shopify Starter tier for social selling without a full storefront. Verify current per-month plan pricing on shopify.com/pricing before signup; regional pricing and promotional windows change. ShopBack cashback applies to eligible new sign-ups at the current published rate on the Shopify SG merchant page.

Yes. Shopify typically offers a 3-day free trial with a follow-on introductory month at a nominal fee (historically $1 for the first month) for new customers on paid plans. The trial requires no credit card upfront but paid conversion is required to continue. Verify current trial length and promotional monthly rate on shopify.com/pricing before signing up. ShopBack sign-up cashback typically triggers when the subscription converts to a paid monthly billing cycle.

Basic includes unlimited products, 2 staff accounts, standard reports, and Shopify Payments transaction rates. Shopify (mid tier) adds 5 staff accounts, professional reports, and lower transaction fees. Advanced adds 15 staff accounts, custom report builder, third-party calculated shipping rates, and the lowest transaction fees among the standard plans. Shopify Plus adds Launchpad, Flow automation, custom checkout via checkout extensibility, and B2B on Shopify. Verify the current feature matrix on shopify.com/pricing before locking a plan.

WooCommerce is an open-source WordPress plugin that turns any WordPress site into an online store, with no monthly SaaS fee but self-managed hosting, security, updates, and plugin licensing costs. Shopify is a fully hosted SaaS with monthly subscription, faster time to launch, and less technical maintenance. For merchants with existing WordPress expertise and content-heavy stores, WooCommerce can be cheaper long-term. For fastest launch with least ops overhead, Shopify wins. Both are valid choices; the pick depends on team technical depth and content vs commerce split. Only Shopify is cashback-eligible via ShopBack.

BigCommerce is a Shopify-comparable SaaS with a stronger enterprise B2B feature set on lower plan tiers and no per-transaction fees on native BigCommerce Payments. Wix is a lower-priced general website builder with lighter e-commerce features suited to micro-businesses. Shopify sits in the middle: mid-priced SaaS with the largest app ecosystem, deepest omnichannel support, and Shopify Plus for scaling. For B2B-heavy mid-market, BigCommerce is worth checking; for simple info+store micro sites, Wix is worth checking; for growth-focused DTC brands, Shopify is often first pick. Cross-check pricing and feature fit on each vendor's site.

For a Singapore business, sign up at shopify.com/sg with SGD billing, connect a custom domain (or buy one via Shopify), and enable Shopify Payments Singapore for SGD card processing (subject to eligibility). PayNow QR is supported via Shopify Payments and select third-party gateways. Configure GST settings for GST-registered businesses per IRAS rules. Cross-check current Shopify Payments Singapore eligibility, transaction rates, and IRAS GST compliance requirements before launching your storefront.

Shopify Starter is a lightweight tier for social-media sellers, linking-in-bio, and messaging-app sales without a full storefront. Basic is the entry storefront plan for small merchants. Shopify (mid tier) and Advanced serve growing merchants. Shopify Plus is the enterprise tier for merchants processing $1M+ GMV per year with need for checkout customisation, B2B features, and dedicated support. For a solo Instagram-first seller, Starter is often enough; for a growing brand, Basic or Shopify plans; for enterprise scale, Plus. Verify current per-month pricing on shopify.com/pricing.

For SaaS subscription products, ShopBack pays a sign-up Cashback bounty when your new Shopify subscription converts to a paid billing cycle through the ShopBack Shopify SG merchant page. Click through fresh from the ShopBack Shopify SG merchant page, complete the shopify.com/sg signup, connect your domain, and wait for the trial to convert to paid. Cashback tracks per the current published amount on the merchant page and typically confirms after the first paid billing cycle.

Common exclusions on Shopify Singapore via ShopBack Singapore include gift cards, third-party marketplace listings, and taxes and government fees. The current Cashback is shown on the Shopify Singapore page on ShopBack.
