Let’s face it — in today’s fast-paced digital jungle, having a strong online presence is non-negotiable. If you’re running a business in Singapore, app development is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s your secret weapon for growth, conversions, and customer loyalty.
This guide dives into how Singapore app development, Shopify, and sales automation can give your business a serious boost — and answers the most commonly searched questions along the way.
 Who Is the Shopify Developer?
A Shopify developer is a web or app developer who specializes in building and customizing ecommerce stores using the Shopify platform. They handle everything from custom themes and backend development to third-party integrations and performance optimisation.
At IXEN Interactive, our Shopify developers are based in Singapore and experienced in creating solutions that match local business needs — whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale.
What Are Shopify Development Stores?
Shopify development stores are test environments created by Shopify Partners or developers to build and experiment with custom solutions before going live. They’re used for:
- Designing and previewing storefronts
- Testing third-party apps
- Integrating features like loyalty programs or payment gateways
These stores let businesses and developers explore options safely before launching the final version.
