Why San Marino businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
San Marino is a market of about 34,000 people where B2B and wholesale portals are growing fast, with San Marino as its capital.
San Marino is a microstate with a strong tourism and collectibles economy, close to the Italian Riviera. Webshops help local shops reach Italian customers and global collectors.
That is why more companies in San Marino are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper B2B ordering portal — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
Localised for San Marino, not translated into it
A store that works in San Marino respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Everything a San Marino shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in EUR, written the local way.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Italian and English, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as Visa and Mastercard and bank transfer and Poste San Marino sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .sm domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +378, so a customer in San Marino taps once to call or message.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Every NNT Mart B2B ordering portal in San Marino is engineered to the client's own brief — the web platform, the admin panel and, when you need one, a mobile application built for your workflow.
In San Marino we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as tourism and souvenirs, wine and food, ceramics and crafts and fashion that have strong online demand in San Marino.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your budget.
Core modules we build for San Marino clients
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your San Marino business sells.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Multiple stock points in San Marino are supported, so a San Marino order ships from the nearest one.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of San Marino guide stock and marketing decisions.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in San Marino look for products, in Italian and English if your audience needs it.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so San Marino teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Payment steps are built around Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer and PayPal, the options shoppers here already trust.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Shipping rules can use Poste San Marino, Poste Italiane and BRT as well as your own delivery staff in San Marino.

Shipping, couriers and local delivery in San Marino
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Poste San Marino, Poste Italiane, BRT, DHL, GLS Italy and SDA, or route orders to your own riders and stores.
Delivery rules can price by distance, weight, postcode or zone, offer same-day slots in dense areas, and switch on pickup points or click-and-collect where customers prefer them.
Your own store alongside Amazon.it and eBay.it
Amazon.it, eBay.it and Subito.it are where many shoppers in San Marino start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
NNT Mart gives you a channel you own: your domain, your customer list, your pricing and your brand. Where it helps, we connect product feeds and orders from marketplaces so stock stays in sync and your team works from one dashboard.
Rules San Marino sellers must respect online
On tax: San Marino levies a general monophase tax (IGR) at 17% since 2020, with customs and VAT rules coordinated with Italy.
On privacy we design around Law No. 171/2018 on Personal Data Protection, supervised by the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Code, covering distance contracts and warranty rights, aligned with Italian norms.
Our job is the engineering: price display with tax, invoice numbering, cookie and marketing consent, return and terms pages, role-based access and logs. Legal and tax conclusions stay with your own adviser.
Mobile commerce in San Marino
Phones carry most traffic in San Marino. A dealer and sales-representative app lets buyers re-order in seconds, scan products, check statements and receive scheme announcements, while reps take orders at the counter even with patchy connectivity.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your B2B ordering portal, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC+2 so offers reach San Marino customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Italian and English.
- Credit and payment gateways
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Logistics and freight partners
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
- Warehouse and inventory systems
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
From first demo to growth in San Marino
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving San Marino, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for EUR, Visa and Mastercard and Poste San Marino from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how San Marino customers actually buy. |
We track order-entry time, share of orders placed online, order accuracy, days sales outstanding, repeat-order frequency and sales-rep productivity on a live dashboard from day one, so San Marino results are visible, not promised.
