What is B2B E-commerce?

 

B2B ecommerce is the digital sale of products or services between businesses. It allows customers to log in to an online portal, view personalized catalogs and contract prices, check availability and place orders independently. Unlike B2C ecommerce, B2B ecommerce supports more complex buying processes, such as multiple users, approval flows, negotiated pricing, repeat orders and ERP integrations. For manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers, it reduces manual work, improves order accuracy and gives customers a faster, more transparent buying experience.
