E-commerce in Singapore is thriving. With mobile-first shoppers, rising expectations around personalisation, and fierce platform competition, choosing the right e-commerce platform is no longer just about features it’s about the experience you’re creating.

At Paper Cut Collective, we believe that how your store looks, feels, and functions is just as important as where it lives. Whether you're launching a sleek Shopify site or building your presence on Shopee, your platform choice should match your brand’s personality, goals, and customer journey.


Let’s explore today’s top platforms in Singapore and how to choose the right one with a creative lens.


The E-Commerce Landscape in Singapore

Singapore’s e-commerce scene is evolving fast. Consumers shop with their phones, expect instant gratification, and care deeply about values like sustainability and trust. As a brand, your e-commerce platform should empower you to:

  • Deliver a seamless mobile-first experience

  • Leverage personalised content and AI-driven recommendations

  • Integrate with social commerce and offline experiences

  • Reflect your brand’s values through design and messaging


Top E-Commerce Platforms in Singapore (and When to Choose Them)

Shopify

Best for: Scalable brands, first-time sellers, clean UX Shopify offers an all-in-one solution with built-in payment options, beautiful templates, and strong analytics. It’s great for getting started quickly and growing fast.

At Paper Cut, we help Shopify brands stand out with custom theme design, branded visuals, and UX that makes browsing a joy.


WooCommerce (WordPress)

Best for: Content-heavy brands, SEO-focused businesses WooCommerce gives you full control over design and functionality ideal for blogs, magazines, or content-led e-commerce. It’s also highly flexible if you need custom features.

We pair WooCommerce with bold visuals, animated product displays, and editorial content that flows naturally into the shopping experience.


Magento

Best for: Enterprise-level brands with development teams Magento is powerful but complex. It’s ideal if you need multi-language support, deep inventory control, or B2B features. With the right development and design support, it can become a conversion machine.

Paper Cut collaborates with dev teams to build intuitive front-end experiences on top of Magento’s technical depth.


Wix & BigCommerce

Best for: SMEs and startups looking for ease and speed Wix and BigCommerce are user-friendly, with drag-and-drop builders and decent SEO support. While not as robust as Shopify or WooCommerce, they’re solid for brands starting small.

We design standout visuals and scroll-friendly layouts that make even simple stores feel premium.


Shopee, Lazada, Amazon, Qoo10, Carousell

Best for: Maximum reach with lower entry barriers Marketplaces dominate in Singapore, and for good reason. Shopee is the most visited e-commerce site in the country, and others like Lazada and Qoo10 offer built-in audiences.

At Paper Cut, we help brands build marketplace assets like product images, banners, and microsites that boost click-throughs and make your listing pop.


How to Choose the Right Platform (With a Designer’s Eye)

When we work with e-commerce brands, we don’t just ask “What platform is trending?” We ask:

  • What’s your brand story and where can it shine best?

  • Do you need content-heavy pages or lightning-fast product discovery?

  • Are your shoppers more likely to come from Instagram or Google?

  • Will you be managing everything solo, or do you have a team?


Once we know your audience and goals, we design experiences that match. From colour palettes to conversion flows, we ensure your site doesn’t just work it connects.


Paper Cut Collective’s Approach to E-Commerce Design

Here’s how we bring your platform to life:

  • Mobile-first design with scroll effects, sticky CTAs, and clean layouts

  • Custom landing pages for ads, promos, or marketplaces like Shopee

  • Integrated content like blog-product mashups on WooCommerce

  • AR and motion graphics to show your product in action

  •  Consistent branding across all platforms from your Shopify store to your Instagram feed


Creative That Converts

A good e-commerce platform gives you structure. But great design gives you momentum. From launch assets to email flows, we make sure every piece of your customer journey is beautiful, branded, and intentional.


Let’s Build Your Store Your Way

The platform you choose is your foundation. What you build on it that’s where Paper Cut Collective comes in.
