EDGE Grant for Websites and E-Commerce: What Replaced PSG

Part of our Marketing Grants guide →

Last updated: October 2026. Searching for the PSG grant for a website or e-commerce store? The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) stopped accepting new applications on 29 September 2026. Website, e-commerce and other digital solutions now apply under the EDGE Grant, Enterprise Singapore’s single scheme that replaced PSG, EDG and MRA.

This guide explains how digital solutions work under EDGE: the S$30,000 limit, how to find a pre-approved solution, what the application involves and the rules that most often trip companies up. Facts come from Enterprise Singapore’s EDGE Grant page, its EDGE FAQ and the single-function digital solutions page.

Dated note, October 2026: PSG, EDG and MRA ceased on 29 September 2026. PSG projects already submitted or approved continue, and claims are still made through the Business Grants Portal when the project is complete.

From PSG to EDGE

PSG was the grant behind most subsidised SME websites, e-commerce stores and business software in Singapore. Under EDGE, the same kind of support continues through the Automation & Digitalisation business area, as single-function digital solutions. Enterprise Singapore describes these as “pre-approved digital solutions designed for specific functions”.

The mechanics will feel familiar to anyone who used PSG: you pick a pre-approved solution and vendor, get a quotation, and apply on the Business Grants Portal. What changes is the funding structure. EDGE gives each company one annual budget across all its projects, with a separate limit for digital solutions inside it.

The S$30,000 Digital Sub-Cap

Each company can receive up to S$100,000 a year across all EDGE activities, counted from 1 April to 31 March. Within that, the FAQ states that the company “can use up to S$30,000 on single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment”.

That S$30,000 is shared across all your Automation & Digitalisation projects. A new website, an e-commerce platform, an accounting tool and a CRM in the same year all draw from it.

Support levels are up to 50% for SMEs and up to 30% for non-SMEs on most activities, including digital solutions. Each activity page also caps the qualifying cost. On the Carbon Management solution page, for example, the cost is capped at S$60,000, giving up to S$30,000 of support for an SME. Check the page for your solution category for its own cap.

Previous PSG claims do not reduce your EDGE budget. The FAQ confirms the cap does not take earlier EDG, MRA or PSG usage into account.

Finding a Pre-Approved Solution

For single-function solutions, Enterprise Singapore points businesses to the IMDA SMEs Go Digital platform, which lists pre-approved vendors and solutions. It includes a package builder that lets you adjust parts of a package, such as staff numbers, implementation period and training.

For website and e-commerce projects, that means:

• Start from the listing, not the agency. Find the solution category that matches your project on SMEs Go Digital, then compare the vendors offering it.
• Match the package to the quote. The package you build must match the vendor’s quotation exactly.
• Check what’s covered. The FAQ says the detailed breakdown of supportable costs, including data migration and integration, is on SMEs Go Digital. Professional services can be supported where they’re meaningful to adopting the solution. On the activity page we checked, software costs were capped at 12 months, and GST and maintenance were not supported.

We work with pre-approved vendors and can help you scope a website or e-commerce project, so you know which category it falls into before you request quotations.

Eligibility Rules That Catch People Out

Beyond the basics (Singapore-registered, at least 30% owned by Singaporeans or Singapore PRs), the single-function solution pages list conditions that commonly cause rejections:

• Not a home-based business. The business must be registered and operating in Singapore and not home-based.
• Don’t start or pay before you apply. You must not have started work, or made any payment or deposit to a vendor, before submitting. Retrospective applications are not supported.
• One grant per solution. You must not have applied for grant support for the same solution before.
• Used in Singapore. The solution must be used or implemented in Singapore.
• No double funding. You can’t apply for EDGE on expenses already approved under another Enterprise Singapore or government grant.
• Apply yourself. Vendors, consultants and corporate secretaries are not allowed to submit applications or claims on your behalf.

How the Application Works

The single-function solution pages set out the process in steps. In summary:

1. Prepare documents. At minimum, the vendor quotation. Some solutions also ask for a projection of expected benefits.
2. Choose a vendor and solution on IMDA SMEs Go Digital.
3. Get the quotation from the vendor.
4. Build the solution package on SMEs Go Digital to match the quotation.
5. Confirm the package through your company’s Corppass account to generate a package reference ID.
6. Apply on the Business Grants Portal using that reference ID.
7. Accept the Letter of Offer, which sets the grant amount, qualifying period and deliverables.
8. Complete the project. For digital solutions, deliverables include a photo of the deployed software and a unique identifier, such as a licence number or user ID.
9. Submit one final claim once the project is complete and fully paid, before the claim due date.

For the full walkthrough, including payment set-up and claim documents, see our step-by-step EDGE application guide.

Integrated Systems and ERP

If you need more than one function in a single system, EDGE has a separate activity for integrated enterprise systems such as ERP. The FAQ says an integrated ERP must include at least three core functions from a set list, which includes financial management, HR, inventory, project management and sales and CRM. You can choose a pre-approved vendor package, or your own vendor if no suitable package exists. Processing takes about 1 week with a pre-approved vendor and 10 weeks without one. Integrated systems also count towards the S$30,000 digital sub-cap.

Planning a Website or E-Commerce Project

A grant only covers part of the cost, and only for the scope in the Letter of Offer. To get the most from it:

• Size the project to the cap. At 50% support, S$30,000 of grant covers up to S$60,000 of qualifying digital spend in a year, across all your digital projects, not just the website.
• Know the full cost. Hosting, ongoing maintenance, content and marketing usually fall outside the grant. See our website cost guide for typical ranges.
• Plan what happens after launch. A subsidised store with no traffic is still an empty store. Search, shopping ads and conversion work are what turn it into revenue.

Our web design team builds fast, SEO-ready websites and stores. Our e-commerce ads team runs the Shopping, marketplace and search campaigns that bring in the buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PSG grant for websites still available?

No. PSG stopped accepting new applications on 29 September 2026. Website and e-commerce solutions now apply under the EDGE Grant as single-function digital solutions.

What replaced the PSG e-commerce grant?

The EDGE Grant. Digital solutions of the kind PSG supported now fall under EDGE’s Automation & Digitalisation area, with up to 50% support for SMEs and a S$30,000 annual limit for single-function solutions, integrated systems and pre-scoped equipment combined.

How much can I get for a website under EDGE?

Up to 50% of qualifying costs for an SME, subject to the solution’s own cost cap and the company’s S$30,000 annual digital sub-cap, within the overall S$100,000 EDGE cap. Check the activity page and SMEs Go Digital listing for your solution.

Do I still need a pre-approved vendor?

For single-function digital solutions, yes. You choose from the pre-approved vendors and solutions listed on IMDA SMEs Go Digital. For integrated systems such as ERP, you can use a pre-approved vendor or your own, though processing takes longer with your own.

Can my web agency apply for the grant for me?

No. All submissions on the Business Grants Portal must be made by your own authorised staff, who have the Preparer or Acceptor role in Corppass. Vendors can supply the quotation and package details, but can’t submit for you.

Can I pay the deposit before the grant is approved?

Only after you’ve submitted the application. Payments made after submission may be supported if the application is approved, but at your own risk. Paying or starting work before submission makes the project retrospective, and it will not be supported.
