The favorite pastime of Singaporeans? Catching a movie, Eating or Shopping? Over the past few years there’s been an overwhelming increase in the number of customers preferring online Shopping over conventional alternatives. Unique due to its convenience, variety, more advantageous prices and the option of making discreet purchases, there’s nothing that quite compares with being able to browse through heaps of new, flashy catalogues in your pajamas after late hours. Not having to wait in line, carry tons of bags around and deal with smothering crowds or incessant retailers are probably some of the many reasons why most Singaporeans use the Internet to do their shopping. Whether you’re new to ecommerce or you’re looking for the finest tools which can help you efficiently navigate the online market, here are some of the best shopping apps available in Singapore.

1. Carousell SG

With over 26 million listings, Carousell is one of the world’s largest and rapidly growing community marketplaces. This mobile app is designed for sellers and buyers to connect within their local community and allows you to trade anything and everything, from beauty products, clothing and books to art, antiques, cars and houses. Carousell doesn’t provide a payment gateway, which means that you have to meet in order to exchange goods. However, there are no commissions, troublesome fees or additional charges involved and the system is based on secure transactions with experienced, credible sellers (you have the option of checking and offering member feedback). Using Carousell, you can create comprehensive listings from massive online marketplaces in a matter of seconds, customize your search with keywords to ensure quick, accessible shopping and chat with both local and foreign sellers. Similar to popular websites like Gumtree, this app offers free listings with up to 4 photos for sellers, the option to instantly share listings on all social media platforms, as well as private chat features and fast, simple catalogue-browsing for buyers.
