Webby SG designs and builds Shopify stores for Singapore businesses from S$600 to S$1,200 — custom storefronts with PayNow (via HitPay), cards and wallets at checkout, a curated app stack, SEO-ready product pages and full training. Shopify hosts everything, so uptime, security and scaling are handled for you.
WHY SHOPIFY STORES UNDERSELL.
Shopify removes the technical excuses — what’s left is setup quality. The usual gaps:
●A stock theme with the logo swapped — indistinguishable from a dropshipper
●App stacking — 20 apps, each adding monthly fees and checkout drag
●No PayNow — the payment Singapore shoppers reach for first
●Product pages thin on content — nothing for Google to rank
●Shipping settings left on guesswork defaults — surprises at checkout
●Nobody trained — every banner change waits on a freelancer
When Shopify is the right call
RANKING
Getting you found by the right people, higher up.
Choose Shopify when you want commerce without infrastructure: hosting, security, uptime and scaling are Shopify’s problem, not yours. Your team manages products and orders in an admin designed for non-technical people — and it simply doesn’t go down on launch day.
The trade-off is the monthly subscription and platform boundaries. For most product businesses that just want to sell reliably, it’s the right trade — and we’ll tell you honestly when it isn’t.
A theme built or customised to your brand — not a template your competitors are also using.

OUR SHOPIFY RULES.
Apps must earn their fee
Every app adds monthly cost and checkout weight — our default answer is no, until proven otherwise.
PayNow is non-negotiable
Singapore stores without PayNow leak sales. It’s configured in every build, via HitPay.
Built to hand over
The goal is a store your team runs without us. Training is a deliverable, not an upsell.
Honest platform advice
If WooCommerce’s ownership and flexibility fit you better, we’ll say so — we build both.
// HONEST EXPECTATIONS
Shopify costs, honestly.
Beyond our build fee, Shopify charges a monthly subscription and payment processing fees — that’s the price of never thinking about hosting, security or scaling. For most product businesses it’s worth every dollar; for content-led stores chasing SEO depth, WooCommerce may return more.
A Shopify store launches fast — typically 3–4 weeks — and product data readiness (photos, descriptions, prices) is the usual timeline variable.
Common questions.
How much does a Shopify store cost in Singapore?
Our builds are S$600 to S$1,200, quoted fixed. Shopify itself charges a monthly subscription plus payment fees — we’ll map the full running cost before you commit.
Shopify or WooCommerce — which should I pick?
Shopify for simplicity and hands-off infrastructure with a monthly fee; WooCommerce for ownership, customisation and content-led SEO. We build both and advise on fit, not preference.
Can customers pay with PayNow on Shopify?
Yes — via HitPay, alongside cards, Apple Pay and wallets. It’s standard in every build we ship.
Can you migrate my store to Shopify?
Yes — products, customers and order history from WooCommerce, Wix or elsewhere, with redirects so your Google rankings survive.
Is Shopify good for SEO?
Good, within its framework — clean themes, proper schema and structured collections rank well. WooCommerce offers deeper control; for most product stores Shopify’s SEO is more than enough, done properly.
Do I need lots of apps?
No — most stores need a handful. Every app adds monthly fees and load time, so we curate hard and document why each one is there.
Can my team run the store?
That’s the point of Shopify — and we train your team on products, orders, discounts and content until they’re comfortable.
Who owns the store?
You do — the Shopify account, domain and all connected services are registered to your business.
