Italy Is Ready to Buy — In Italian


The Italian e-commerce market is booming. With over 38 million digital buyers and growing, Italy is no longer a “maybe later” market — it’s a prime opportunity.

But there’s a catch.


If your online store speaks only English or French, most Italians will bounce in seconds.

They won’t trust it. They won’t feel at home. And they probably won’t buy.

That’s why translating your e-commerce website into Italian isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a revenue driver.


At Verbavox, we help brands turn browsers into buyers with native, conversion-ready Italian content for online stores of every size.



Why Translation Matters for Conversion


Studies show that:

  • 72% of shoppers are more likely to buy from a site in their native language

  • 60% say they rarely or never buy from English-only websites

  • Localized product pages can increase conversion rates by 25–50%

Let that sink in.

Now imagine what happens when your product descriptions, checkout flow, and customer support are all in fluent, natural Italian.

You don’t just sound trustworthy — you are trustworthy.



Common Mistakes in E-commerce Translation

Many brands make the same mistakes when translating their online store:


1. Using machine translation

Sure, it’s quick — but it’s also full of awkward phrases, incorrect product terms, and SEO disasters.


2. Ignoring cultural context

What works in English may sound pushy or weird in Italian. Localization means adapting the message, not just translating the words.


3. Forgetting the customer journey

CTAs, emails, delivery info — if any part of the funnel feels “foreign,” it creates friction.


4. Lack of SEO optimization

Using direct keyword translations? Google.it won’t rank you. You need real Italian search terms and structure.


At Verbavox, we fix all of the above — with native linguists, smart localization, and ecommerce strategy built-in.
