The e-commerce model refers to the business operation and profit model based on a certain technological foundation in the network environment and big data environment. E-commerce models can establish different classification frameworks from multiple perspectives, with the simplest classification being B2B, B2C, and C2C. So what exactly do B2B, B2C, and C2C mean? Below, the editor will introduce their differences separately.
Overseadia B2B marketplace has majority of the Chinese suppliers and manufactures
1. B2B (Business to Business) refers to the business model of exchanging and transmitting data information between enterprises through a dedicated network or the Internet, and conducting transaction activities. It closely integrates the internal network of the enterprise and its products and services with customers through B2B websites or mobile clients, providing better services to customers through rapid network response, and promoting the development of the enterprise's business. Just like we can only buy Coca Cola at McDonald's because McDonald's and Coca Cola are business partners. Establishing a partnership between enterprises aims to create a complementary development opportunity with what everyone provides.
The B2B model is the oldest and most well-developed business model in e-commerce, which can quickly generate profits and returns. Its profit comes from the decrease in various expenses caused by relatively low information costs, as well as the advantages of integrating supply chain and value chain. Its trade value is 10 times that of direct purchases by consumers. E-commerce between enterprises has become the focus of e-commerce. Its applications include industry organizations that connect members through EDI networks, cross industry transaction integration organizations based on business chains, and timely online procurement and supply operators.
2. B2C (Business to Customer), which is abbreviated as "Business to Customer" in Chinese. Business to customer "is a model of e-commerce, commonly known as the direct sales of products and services to consumers commercial retail model. For example, if you go to McDonald's to eat, it is B2C because you are just a customer. For example, Dangdang.

The main types of B2C websites include comprehensive shopping malls, department stores, vertical stores, composite brand stores, service-oriented online stores, shopping engine types, and online product customization types. The profit model of B2C mainly includes service fees, membership fees, sales fees, promotion fees, etc.
The meaning of C2C (Customer to Customer) is the e-commerce behavior between individuals of consumers. For example, if a consumer has a computer and conducts transactions online, selling it to another consumer, this type of transaction is called C2C e-commerce, such as a small Taobao store.
A simple explanation is:
B2B means that you have also established a company and bought things from our company;
B2C is when I establish a company to sell things, and you buy them;
C2C means I sell things and you buy them.
