How much does a Shopify website cost in Singapore?
Short answer: A Shopify website in Singapore costs SGD 348 a year on the Basic plan (billed yearly), plus the cost of building the store. A DIY build costs only your time, a theme and apps. Soodo, a founder-led Singapore Shopify agency, builds new Shopify stores from SGD 8,500, revamps existing stores from SGD 3,000 and migrates stores to Shopify from SGD 6,000. Enterprise and Shopify Plus projects sit in a higher tier.
This guide sets out the full cost stack for a Singapore Shopify store in 2026, in SGD: the Shopify plan, theme, apps, domain, payment fees and the build itself. It ends with a worked year-one example for an SME brand. Shopify plan and payment figures are taken from Shopify’s Singapore pricing page (checked 25 October 2026).
What does a Shopify website cost in Singapore? The full cost stack
| Cost | What you pay (SGD unless stated) | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify plan | Basic SGD 29, Grow SGD 99, Advanced SGD 399 per month (billed yearly) | Monthly or yearly |
| Theme | 24 free themes, or a paid theme from USD 100 to USD 500 on the Shopify Theme Store | One-off |
| Apps | Free to paid; depends on the features you need | Monthly, per app |
| Domain | About USD 16 a year for a .com bought through Shopify | Yearly |
| Shopify Payments (cards) | 3.2% + SGD 0.50 per online order on Basic | Per order |
| Third-party gateway fee (e.g. for PayNow) | 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced, on top of the gateway’s own fee | Per order |
| Store build | DIY: your time. Soodo: new build from SGD 8,500, revamp from SGD 3,000, migration from SGD 6,000 | One-off |
How much are Shopify’s plans in Singapore?
Shopify prices its Basic, Grow and Advanced plans in SGD for Singapore merchants. Paying yearly costs about 25% less than paying monthly. Shopify Plus starts at USD 2,300 a month.
| Plan | Paid monthly | Paid yearly (per month) | Yearly total (paid yearly) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | SGD 39 | SGD 29 | SGD 348 |
| Grow | SGD 132 | SGD 99 | SGD 1,188 |
| Advanced | SGD 531 | SGD 399 | SGD 4,788 |
| Plus | From USD 2,300 | n/a | From USD 27,600 |
Most Singapore SME brands start on Basic or Grow. Grow lowers the card rate and the third-party fee, which matters once you process a steady volume of orders. Not sure which plan fits? Use our free Shopify plan picker.
How much do Shopify themes, apps and domains cost?
- Theme: the Shopify Theme Store has 24 free themes. Paid themes cost between USD 100 and USD 500, paid once. Theme licence fees are not included in a Soodo build price.
- Apps: apps add features such as reviews, email marketing, bundles and loyalty. Many have a free plan; paid plans are billed monthly by each app. Choose apps for a job your store actually needs, because each one adds a monthly cost and can slow your store down.
- Domain: a .com domain bought through Shopify costs about USD 16 a year. You can also connect a domain you already own.
What are Shopify’s payment fees in Singapore?
Shopify Payments charges a card rate per online order. The rate falls as your plan goes up.
| Plan | Online card, standard | Online card, AmEx and international | Extra fee if you use a third-party gateway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 3.2% + SGD 0.50 | 3.6% + SGD 0.50 | 2% |
| Grow | 3.1% + SGD 0.50 | 3.5% + SGD 0.50 | 1% |
| Advanced | 3.0% + SGD 0.50 | 3.4% + SGD 0.50 | 0.6% |
| Plus | 2.9% + SGD 0.50 | 3.3% + SGD 0.50 | 0.2% |
Why PayNow affects your fees
Shopify’s help page for Shopify Payments in Singapore does not list PayNow as a payment method. Most Singapore stores add PayNow through a third-party gateway such as HitPay. When an order is paid through a third-party gateway, Shopify charges its third-party transaction fee (2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced) on top of the gateway’s own fee. If a large share of your customers pay by PayNow, budget for both fees. Compare gateways in our guide to the best payment gateways for Shopify Singapore.
How much does it cost to have a Shopify store built?
Shopify builds in Singapore fall into three tiers. Each tier suits a different budget, store volume and level of complexity.
| Tier | What you get | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| DIY | You set up a theme, products and payments yourself. You pay for the plan, theme and apps only. | First-time sellers testing a product, with time to learn Shopify |
| SME Shopify agency (where Soodo works) | A store designed around how your customers buy, with payments, shipping, GST, SEO and AI search set up. Soodo: new build from SGD 8,500, revamp from SGD 3,000, migration from SGD 6,000. | Growing SME brands that want a store built to sell, without an enterprise budget |
| Enterprise / Shopify Plus agency | Large teams, custom apps, complex integrations and multi-market rollouts, usually on Shopify Plus. | High-volume brands with large budgets and complex operations |
Soodo works in the SME tier on purpose. It is not a Shopify Plus partner. If your brand needs an enterprise Plus build, an agency in that tier is the better fit. Read Shopify vs Shopify Plus for Singapore SMEs to see whether you need Plus at all.
Soodo’s prices
| Service | Starting price (SGD) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| New Shopify store | From SGD 8,500 | Agreed before we begin |
| Shopify revamp | From SGD 3,000 | Agreed before we begin |
| Migration to Shopify | From SGD 6,000 | Agreed before we begin |
Every Soodo build is designed around how your customers actually buy, and set up to be found in AI search such as ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode. Every build, revamp and migration includes handover training and 6 months of post-launch fixes: if something we built breaks, we fix it. Soodo is not GST-registered, so no GST is added to Soodo’s prices. Scope and price are agreed in writing before work starts. Projects start on set monthly start dates. A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your start date; the balance is due on completion.
What does a Shopify store cost in year one? A worked example
This example is for an SME brand that has a new store built by Soodo and runs on the Grow plan, paid yearly. It is an illustration, not a quote.
| Item | Year-one cost |
|---|---|
| New Shopify store build (Soodo) | From SGD 8,500 |
| Shopify Grow plan, paid yearly (SGD 99 × 12) | SGD 1,188 |
| Fixed year-one total | From SGD 9,688 |
| Theme licence (if paid) | USD 100 to USD 500, one-off |
| Domain (.com through Shopify) | About USD 16 |
| Apps | Depends on the features you choose |
| Card fees: 1,000 orders of SGD 100 on Shopify Payments (3.1% + SGD 0.50) | SGD 3,600 |
Payment fees grow with your sales, so they are best read as a cost of each order rather than a setup cost. If you already have a Shopify store, a revamp from SGD 3,000 is usually the lower-cost first step before a full rebuild.
Can I use a government grant for a Shopify build?
The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) stopped taking new applications on 29 September 2026. Enterprise Singapore’s EDGE Grant replaced the EDG, MRA and PSG from 30 September 2026. Soodo is not a pre-approved EDGE Grant vendor. Read our EDGE Grant guide for Singapore SMEs for what this means for your build.
