Accepting Payments in Italy

Top-Rated Payment Gateway in Italy

Italy has a powerful e-commerce market that is projected to reach a market volume of €44 billion by 2027. Italy’s e-commerce market, ranked 14th in the world, is powered by millions of users. Statista says, Italy is expected to reach 40.4 million e-commerce users by 2025 – this is why credit card processing and accepting online payments is so important. While accepting credit card transactions is very important, it’s also crucial to remember online payments alternatives like local payment methods, debit card transactions, and bank transfers when you sell online. Online merchants that accept more preferred payment methods, increase their online transactions and perpetuate more success for their business.

Why Is It Important to Accept Payments Globally?

In 2020, 51% of Italians purchased goods or services from international websites. Merchants in Italy sell goods and services to consumers in most countries. In 2020, they sold 21% to France, 19% to Spain, 18% to Germany, as well as to the United States, United Kingdom, and throughout Asia and South America. As people become more comfortable with making purchases on their computers and mobile devices and stray away from cash payments, accepting payments digitally becomes the new standard. Consumers are also growing more accustomed to online banking or internet banking.

Your business should accept credit card transactions with low transaction fees. But, it’s also important to maximise the options available to your customers beyond credit card or debit card transactions when you accept payments online. The best payment service providers also enable your thriving business to accept alternative payment options that users prefer in various countries. In some countries, they prefer bank transfer or direct debit over debit card. Preferred payment options vary, and credit card processing is not always enough. Unicorn Group gives you the ability to accept more.
