What types of eCommerce businesses are there?

Business-to-business (websites like Shopify), business-to-consumer (websites like Amazon), and consumer-to-consumer (websites like Amazon) are the three primary categories of e-commerce (websites such as eBay).

Here are some examples of e-commerce:

Business-to-Business
The activity of selling online from one business to another, or wholesale, is known as business-to-business, or b2b.

Business-to-Consumer
Because it’s so easy for firms to target specific consumers online, a lot of e-commerce nowadays is b2c. Businesses may now post their items online, allowing customers to buy them from the comfort of their own homes, saving them valuable time.

Consumer-to-Consumer
Do you recall the shirt you purchased? Because you didn’t have time to return it to the retailer, where did it wind up? Never to be worn, tucked away at the back of your closet.

Why not put it up for sale? Toko, for example, allows you, the customer, to post photographs of a product and sell it to others who may be interested in purchasing it on the app’s platform.
