Questions
Is SME AI Office cheaper than Wix in Singapore?
For a shop, yes. SME AI Office is free and includes the website, online shop, POS and stock; a small 0.5% fee applies only to card and automatic PayNow payments. Wix's first plan that accepts payments is Core, shown as US$29 a month billed yearly at Wix's US reference price, with the local price set by location.
Can I use Wix POS in Singapore?
Wix's help centre says Wix POS with Wix Payments is only available to merchants based in the US, Canada and the UK, and Wix Payments itself is not offered in Singapore. SME AI Office includes a POS on the Free plan that runs in the browser and takes cash, PayNow and card on your own terminal.
What is a Singapore alternative to Wix for an online shop?
SME AI Office is built in Singapore for a small shop. You get a website in one of four looks, an online shop with PayNow checkout, a POS for the counter and one stock count, and every sale goes into your accounting. It is free to start, with no monthly fee and no cap on sales.
Does SME AI Office accept PayNow like Wix?
SME AI Office puts a free PayNow QR for the exact amount on every order, paid straight into your bank, on every plan. Cards go through your own Stripe account. On Wix, Singapore stores connect a payment provider such as Stripe, PayPal or Atome, because Wix Payments is not available in Singapore.
Can I move from Wix to SME AI Office?
Yes. Send us the link to your Wix site, or a product spreadsheet exported from it, and we copy your products, prices and photos across and set up your website free, on any plan. Your Wix site stays up until you are happy. WhatsApp us on +65 9613 7676 and we help you move it over.
What does Wix do better than SME AI Office?
Wix gives you far more design freedom: 2,000+ templates, a drag-and-drop editor, an AI website builder and the Wix App Market. SME AI Office websites use four set looks with pages you tick, rename and order, and there is no app store or courier integration.
