Nowadays, most businesses focus heavily on online markets, and the importance of E-commerce has grown significantly. The rapid changes in the world and advanced technologies have led many people to shop online, which has made business owners shift to online business models. CPLINTER will share some insights on the types of E-commerce businesses.

Types of E-commerce Businesses

Type 1: B2C (Business-to-Customer) This type of business involves selling goods or services directly between the business owner (B) and individual consumers (C). B2C is one of the most developed types of E-commerce because it provides easy access to online systems and websites. Examples of B2C businesses: Product-based businesses: Food, clothing Service-based businesses: Airlines, hotels

Type 2: B2B (Business-to-Business) This type of E-commerce involves business-to-business transactions, where the goal is to fulfill business needs such as raw materials, product manufacturing, or services for business development, rather than for personal consumption. For example, buying fabric to produce shirts. B2B is similar to B2C but extends from offline markets to online markets. The difference is that the transaction happens between two businesses rather than between a business and a customer.

Type 3: B2B2C (Business-to-Business-to-Customer) This type combines both B2B and B2C businesses. It enhances the ability to sell products and services more effectively than the first two types. In B2B2C, the B2 business acts as an intermediary working with business partners to serve end customers. The goal is to sell products or services to the final consumer (C). Examples of B2B2C businesses: Online marketplaces such as Lazada and Shopee, where various stores and brands sell products.
