About FanShopping
FanShopping, often presented as “FANSHOPPING - Merchandise Ufficiale,” is an Italian merchandising company that specializes in designing, producing, and selling official apparel and accessories for music artists, tours, and live events. Led by long-time merchandiser Dino Bono, the company handles everything from the creative design of T‑shirts, hoodies, and other fan items to the logistics and on‑site retail operations at concert venues. They frequently partner with well-known Italian artists and organizers to run official merchandise points of sale during tours and special events.
A charge from “FANSHOPPING MAGLIONE IT” with merchant category code 5999 would typically correspond to the purchase of physical merchandise such as a sweater ("maglione" in Italian), T‑shirt, hoodie, or other branded item, either at a concert stand or through an artist’s official online shop managed by FanShopping. The amount is usually a one‑time retail purchase, though multiple small charges can appear if a customer makes several transactions at different shows or reorders online. Temporary authorization holds may also appear if a card was used to secure a purchase before final settlement.
If you have questions about a FanShopping charge, start by checking your email for order confirmations from the artist’s official store or from FanShopping itself, as well as any receipts you received at a concert merchandise stand. Comparing the transaction date and amount to the date and location of a show you attended can help confirm the charge. To resolve issues, you can contact FanShopping through their official social channels (such as their Instagram profile) or through the support/contact information provided on the specific artist’s merchandise shop they operate. If you do not recognize the charge, contact your card issuer promptly to dispute the transaction and request that the card be checked for possible unauthorized use.
