Business-to-business

Also known as: B2B

Business-to-business (B2B) is trade in which one business supplies another organisation for business use or resale. The buyer's role determines the model, not the size of the order: a small purchase can still be B2B. In Dutch distance selling, business customers do not receive the same consumer-law treatment as private buyers.[1]

A packaging supplier might offer standing order arrangements and payment by invoice. Customer registration, pricing and credit checks should suit that relationship. If the same shop serves consumers, separate the two sales processes; merely providing a company-name field does not establish a well-designed business-only buying route.
