In Italy, the minimum settlement time is 3 business days. When you begin receiving payouts, your settlement time is longer, but as you reliably fulfill orders on time, your settlement time can decrease to match the minimum settlement time for your region.

Receiving payouts in multiple currencies with Shopify Payments in Italy
If your store is on the Advanced plan or Shopify Plus plan, then you can choose any supported payout currency as your default payout currency. Review the following considerations for Multi-Currency Payout fees and currency exchange fees:
- If your default payout currency is your EUR domestic currency, then you won't incur Multi-Currency Payout fees.
- If you set up additional bank accounts for payouts, then Multi-Currency Payout fees apply based on your location and Shopify plan.
- If orders are placed in a currency not set up on your Shopify Payments account to receive payouts, then they are paid out to your default currency bank account.
- If the account is in a non-domestic currency, then you incur a currency exchange fee.
- If orders are in your domestic currency and paid out to a bank in your domestic region, then you aren't charged extra fees, even if your domestic currency isn't your default payout currency.
If you choose a non-domestic currency as your default currency - for example, when using Shopify Payments in Italy, you choose USD as your default currency - then any payouts you receive are charged a Multi-Currency Payout fee depending on your location and Shopify plan.

Shopify Payments fees don't include Value-Added Tax (VAT) for stores in Europe with the exception of Ireland. You might need to account for VAT at the local applicable tax rate on your VAT return. To get this information, you can either download a generated invoice, or export a file with your transaction information.
For stores in Ireland, 23% VAT is charged in addition to the Shopify Payments fees.
