The case for a manufacturer and dealer portal in Borgo Maggiore
Borgo Maggiore is a castello of san marino, with a population of roughly 6,962, and one of the markets in San Marino where we build manufacturer and distributor portals.
Businesses here work in retail, food, tourism and local crafts; many are based around the Borgo market and the cable-car terminus.
Logistics are supported by The cable car to the City of San Marino, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
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.
For a business in Borgo Maggiore, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own manufacturer and dealer portal keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
What makes a Borgo Maggiore store feel local

Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Italian and English, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals

Talent and partners nearby
Borgo Maggiore draws on Artisan training centres, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.

In Borgo Maggiore we typically work with machinery and equipment manufacturers, engineering component makers, electrical and automation brands and building-material manufacturers, 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.
Features of your manufacturer and dealer portal in Borgo Maggiore
These are the building blocks of a manufacturer and dealer portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Borgo Maggiore operation needs.
Technical catalogue
Product families, models, variants, specification tables, comparison and application or industry filters. Shipping rules can use Poste San Marino, Poste Italiane and BRT as well as your own delivery staff in Borgo Maggiore.
Document library
Datasheets, manuals, CAD drawings, certificates and price lists with public, registered or partner-only access. Stock can be held in Borgo Maggiore or anywhere in San Marino, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Enquiries and RFQs
Project enquiries, quotation requests, lead routing to the right region and status tracking. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Borgo Maggiore drive revenue.
Partner portal
Dealer and distributor sign-in, territory-based catalogues, protected pricing, schemes and targets. Content and design can follow how customers in Borgo Maggiore search and buy, including Italian and English where you need it.
Spares and service
Spare-part lookup by model or serial number, accessories, warranty registration and service requests. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Borgo Maggiore teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Channel insight
Dashboards for partner orders, secondary sales, product interest and regional demand. Customers in Borgo Maggiore can pay with Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer and PayPal, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Businesses that use NNT Mart in Borgo Maggiore
Popular online categories in San Marino include tourism and souvenirs, wine and food, ceramics and crafts, fashion, electronics and collectible coins and stamps.

Checkout and payment methods for Borgo Maggiore
A manufacturer and dealer portal for Borgo Maggiore must support the way people here actually pay: Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay and Satispay.
Gateway selection depends on your category and merchant approval; we connect the provider, reconcile payments, automate retries and refunds, and never store raw card data. Prices, taxes and refunds appear in euro (EUR).
Zone-based payment rules let you offer different options for the Borgo market than for outer parts of Borgo Maggiore.
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Visa and Mastercard
- Satispay
- PayPal
- Bank transfer
Fulfilment options for Borgo Maggiore orders
Your manufacturer and dealer 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 across Borgo Maggiore.
We set up shipping zones, cut-off times, free-shipping thresholds, cash-collection rules and returns so the promise on the product page matches what your team can deliver.
Connectivity in the area — The cable car to the City of San Marino — makes regional and national dispatch from Borgo Maggiore practical.
Borgo Maggiore sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Many Borgo Maggiore sellers already list on Amazon.it, eBay.it, Subito.it, Zalando Italy and Instagram shops. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
Your manufacturer and dealer portal becomes the hub: marketplaces and social shops become extra outlets fed from one catalogue, while repeat customers buy directly from you at better margins.
Selling online legally in San Marino
San Marino levies a general monophase tax (IGR) at 17% since 2020, with customs and VAT rules coordinated with Italy.
Customer data is handled with Law No. 171/2018 on Personal Data Protection, supervised by the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Code, covering distance contracts and warranty rights, aligned with Italian norms.
We build the technical controls — tax-inclusive pricing, compliant invoices, consent banners, terms and return pages, data-access roles and audit logs. We are not a law firm, so final legal and tax positions should be confirmed with your own adviser in San Marino.
Mobile commerce in Borgo Maggiore
Dealer, field-sales and service-technician apps can scan QR codes on products, look up spares, register warranties and place orders from the shop floor or the customer site.
One backend serves the website and the apps, and the apps ship under your own Google Play and App Store accounts — so what you change once appears everywhere.
Order alerts, offers and abandoned-cart reminders go out on Borgo Maggiore time (UTC+2), in Italian and English if you want.
- Warranty and service software
- ERP and production planning
- Logistics partners
- PIM and DAM for product data
- WhatsApp Business API
- E-invoicing and tax systems
- Dealer management systems
- CRM and lead routing
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
Launch roadmap and success metrics
Value first, depth later. For a manufacturer and dealer portal serving Borgo Maggiore, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|

| Partner portal | Dealer sign-in, protected pricing, ordering and ERP sync. |
| Service and apps | Spares, warranty, service requests and field apps. Reviewed against how Borgo Maggiore customers actually buy. |
Success is measured on qualified enquiries per month, quote-to-order conversion, dealer portal adoption, secondary-sales visibility, spare-part order accuracy and time to answer technical queries — tracked on a dashboard you can see from launch day.
