This document discusses how online merchants are increasingly winning over consumers in Singapore. It notes that singer Beyonce released her latest album exclusively online through iTunes, bypassing traditional stores. This reflects how the retail game has fundamentally changed, with online sales growing rapidly in Singapore according to PayPal transaction data.

Russel Wong turned his hobby of car audio into a niche business called Shok Industries. He sources audio products from manufacturers and exports them worldwide. Though he struggled in university and initially failed at business, he gained experience working with local distributors and visiting factories abroad. This helped him learn about the industry and build contacts. By 2010, Shok Industries took off as he focused full-time on exporting audio products to larger overseas markets like the US, Brazil, and Australia. Wong continues growing his business through low overhead costs and fulfilling his dream despite challenges.

PayPal is partnering with Salad Stop!, a salad restaurant chain, and Perx, a digital loyalty card firm, to allow customers to order and pay for meals from Salad Stop! in advance using the Perx app on their smartphones. This will allow customers to skip lines by showing their purchase confirmation email. By the first quarter of next year, the program will expand to all 13 of Salad Stop!'s outlets in Singapore. This is PayPal's third attempt to enter the physical retail payment market in Singapore, having previously partnered with SMRT and a shopping mall with limited success. Analysts believe this program may work better for busy executives but some customers feel pre-ordering is too inconvenient.
