Italian craft and food producers have heritage and quality, but often lose sales to clunky online experiences.
Three things that matter most in Italy
- Invest in photography and product storytelling that conveys provenance and craft.
- Set up shipping zones, delivery times and cold-chain rules where needed before launch.
- Offer multiple payment methods popular with your buyers, including cards and wallets.
A practical checklist
Use this list as a starting point and adapt it to your size, sector and the advice of your local professionals. It is general guidance, not legal or tax advice.
- Add structured data for your organisation, services and FAQs.
- Write unique titles, descriptions and headings for every page, using the words customers actually use.
- Test speed on a mid-range phone and fix the largest images and scripts first.
- Define one primary action per page and design everything around it.
- Publish privacy, cookie and contact information clearly, in line with the Agenzia delle Entrate and the Camera di Commercio expectations where relevant.
Local context: Italy
Businesses in Italy operate under 22% IVA, supervised by the Agenzia delle Entrate and the Camera di Commercio, and commonly use S.r.l. and S.p.A. companies. On invoicing and digital records: mandatory e-invoicing through the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI). Records and reporting expectations follow from this: Italian accounting rules and IVA ledgers. Where your data sits also matters, so check the hosting region you choose, for example the Zoho EU data centre.
