Do I need online check-in for flights from Bali airport (Denpasar/Ngurah Rai), and is there duty-free?

TL;DR
Online check-in isn't mandatory — you can still get your boarding pass at the airport, but it opens 24 hours before departure. There's no real duty-free shopping, just cafes and a couple of small shops.
What the community said
Online check-in opens 24 hours before departure, best done via the airline's website. Even after checking in online, you often still need to get a paper boarding pass at the airport counter, especially if you have no checked luggage.

The airport itself is unremarkable — staff will help point you in the right direction if you ask, and security check is standard with no special issues.
