How ShopBack Pay Strengthens Customer Loyalty and Cashless Spending in Singapore

ShopBack Pay is one of Singapore’s fastest-growing payment options, extending the reach of the popular cashback and rewards ecosystem that over 2.5 million Singaporeans already use. Built into the ShopBack app, the payment feature lets users pay in-store and online while earning instant cashback, turning every purchase into a loyalty-building interaction.

For merchants, this presents a distinct opportunity. Accepting ShopBack Pay means tapping into a ready base of high-intent consumers who are more likely to return because of built-in incentives. When integrated through Debia’s unified payment platform, businesses can process ShopBack transactions alongside PayNow, cards, and e-wallets in one dashboard, simplifying reconciliation and boosting engagement at the same time.

The ShopBack Ecosystem Advantage

ShopBack started as a cashback platform that rewarded users for online purchases. Today, it operates as a comprehensive financial ecosystem that includes ShopBack Pay, ShopBack PayLater, and thousands of partner merchants across retail, dining, and lifestyle.

ShopBack Pay builds on this loyalty foundation by allowing customers to earn and redeem rewards in real time. When consumers pay through ShopBack, they not only complete a cashless transaction but also experience a feedback loop that encourages repeat spending.

For merchants, this drives measurable benefits:

• Higher repeat visits: Cashback incentives keep customers returning, increasing average order value over time.

  
  

• Built-in marketing exposure: Merchants gain access to ShopBack’s app-based promotions, campaigns, and in-app placements that drive discovery.

  
  

Seamless integration: Through Debia, ShopBack Pay can be added to existing POS or SoftPOS systems without additional infrastructure, making it an easy expansion to an existing payment mix.

Why ShopBack Pay Appeals to Singapore’s Digital Consumers

Singapore’s retail landscape is shaped by rewards-driven digital consumers. A 2024 industry study found that more than 70% of Singaporeans prefer merchants offering cashback or rewards programs, a key reason ShopBack’s model resonates. This is strongly shown in market forecasts of the Singaporean cashback market projected to grow at an annual rate of 11.9%, rising to USD$2.1 billion in 2029.

ShopBack Pay meets this demand by combining payments with loyalty. The ability to earn cashback instantly reinforces trust and satisfaction at checkout, especially among younger consumers who value both transparency and rewards.

For local businesses, this consumer trend translates into stronger retention and higher conversion rates. Each payment not only completes a sale but also nurtures a relationship between the brand and its customer.

How Debia Simplifies ShopBack Pay Integration

Integrating ShopBack Pay through Debia’s payment gateway is straightforward. Merchants can accept payments via QR code or API, unifying transactions with their other payment rails. The Debia dashboard automatically records each payment in real time, allowing finance teams to track settlements and generate reports with minimal manual effort.

Debia’s platform is designed to make new payment rails easy to adopt. Whether you’re running an F&B outlet, boutique retail store, or service-based business, adding ShopBack Pay requires minimal setup. Once active, transactions appear alongside PayNow, Visa, GrabPay, and other payment options for full visibility and faster reconciliation.

Debia also operates with transparent pricing; merchants pay only per successful transaction, with no setup or monthly fees. That makes scaling your payment acceptance as straightforward as expanding your customer base.

Data and Trends to Watch

As of 2025, Singapore’s cashless adoption rate is at 98%, one of the highest globally. Within that, digital wallets and cashback-linked apps such as ShopBack are gaining market share. In Southeast Asia, ShopBack has surpassed 40 million users across 11 markets, positioning it as a major player in the region’s retail ecosystem.

For merchants, the takeaway is clear: integrating a payment option that offers rewards is no longer a bonus; it’s a competitive necessity. ShopBack Pay provides the dual function of payment acceptance and customer retention, something traditional card-only systems cannot replicate on their own. This is heavily reflected in Shopback’s growth, having more than triple the number of transactions in 2 years.
