What Are the 2 Main Categories of E-Commerce Websites?

[Agili Ron]

Hello Friends,

Electronic commerce, or "e-commerce," refers to a wide range of business activities associated with buying and selling goods and services over the Internet. E-commerce activities fall into many identifiable categories, but the two main categories of e-commerce website are business-to-business, referred to commonly as "B2B," and business-to-consumer, referred to as "B2C."
B2B e-commerce websites are concerned with trade between and among businesses. Typical applications include purchase order processing, distribution management and payment management, usually in the form of electronic payment systems. Terms such as "outsourcing," in which a company delegates work, such as payroll, to another company, and "offshoring," in which a company delegates work to a company in a different country, have become synonymous with B2B e-commerce.

Thanks and Regards,

Business to consumer is also a main part of e-commerce that you forgot to explain. Okay, let me explain. Business to consumer i.e. B2C is exchange of the products and services, information to the user from a business. Apart from this, Consumer to business (C2B) and Consumer to consumer (C2C) also come in e-commerce.
