B2B Commerce Overview
B2B (Business-to-Business) commerce refers to the transactions and interactions between businesses, where products, services, or information are exchanged on a wholesale level. Unlike B2C (Business-to-Consumer) commerce, B2B involves complex sales cycles, larger transactions, and often requires a multi-layered decision-making process.
