Q: Why hire a Shopify agency in India for a Singapore brand?

Three reasons: (1) Cost — Singapore Shopify agencies charge SGD 180-280/hour. We deliver the same quality at SGD 55-90/hour blended — 55-65 percent cost reduction. A typical 4-week theme build that runs SGD 30-55K with a SG agency runs SGD 12-20K with us. (2) SEA expansion — SG brands almost always need multi-region (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines). We configure Shopify Markets with local payments, currencies, and shipping for each. (3) Coverage — IST is 2.5 hours behind SGT, so our late morning is your early afternoon. Live overlap 11:30am-7pm SGT. We've shipped 80+ Shopify stores.

Q: How do you handle GST and IRAS compliance?

GST: Singapore moved from 8% to 9% in January 2024 — we configure auto-calc at the current rate. UEN required on tax invoices, GST registration number displayed, tax breakdown by line. InvoiceNow (Peppol network) integration for B2B mandatory e-invoicing. IRAS-compliant invoice format. Imported services GST (Overseas Vendor Registration) handled for cross-border. Tax-inclusive vs tax-exclusive display configurable per market. Integration with Xero SG, Financio, AutoCount for GST F5 prep. PDPA-compliant cookie consent and data handling on every build.
