Types of Electronic Commerce
 

There are four main types of eCommerce business models based on certain factors, such as who the end user is. These are:

 

B2B | business to business
 

In this model, a company sells products or services to another company. Generally, these transactions have a higher volume, a longer sales cycle and are recurring.

 

B2C | business to consumer
 

This model describes a business that sells products or services directly to consumers and is one of the most common business types.

 

C2C | consumer to consumer
 

This model presents a situation where a consumer sells directly to another consumer in an online marketplace, giving them more control over their sale. Some recognized examples are eBay and Mercado Libre.
