The case for a subscription commerce platform in Borgo Maggiore
Borgo Maggiore is a castello of san marino, home to about 6,962 people, and one of the markets in San Marino where we build subscription and membership platforms.
The local economy is driven by retail, food, tourism and local crafts, and commercial activity concentrates 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 subscription commerce platform keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.

Borgo Maggiore sellers: marketplace plus your own store
Amazon.it, eBay.it and Subito.it are where many shoppers in Borgo Maggiore start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
With your own subscription commerce platform you keep the customer data, set the offers and the packaging, and still push stock to marketplaces from a single admin.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in San Marino
For Borgo Maggiore sellers, tax first: 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.
Controls we implement include compliant invoices, consent capture, policy pages, restricted staff access and audit trails. Please confirm the final legal and tax position with a local adviser in Borgo Maggiore.

From first demo to growth in Borgo Maggiore
Value first, depth later. For a subscription commerce platform serving Borgo Maggiore, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch plans | Plans, recurring billing, customer portal and delivery or access rules. Configured for EUR, Visa and Mastercard and Poste San Marino from the start. |
| Retain | Dunning, win-back offers, loyalty and lifecycle messaging. |
| Scale | Subscriber and delivery apps, new plans and regions. Reviewed against how Borgo Maggiore customers actually buy. |
We track monthly recurring revenue, churn rate, payment recovery rate, average subscriber lifetime, skip and pause rate and upgrade rate on a live dashboard from day one, so Borgo Maggiore results are visible, not promised.
