What B2B e-commerce is
B2B e-commerce is online selling between companies, different from B2C in: prices and catalogues personalised per customer, payment terms and credit, repeat orders and large volumes, internal approvals and integration with the buyer's ERP.
Why it matters to the board
B2B customers expect an ordering experience as simple as B2C. A digital B2B channel reduces cost-to-serve (call centre), increases order frequency and builds loyalty.
Differences from B2C
- Contract prices, not shelf prices
- Credit payment, not just card
- Fast reorder from history
- Integration with the buyer's systems (punchout)

Is B2B e-commerce like a regular online store?+
No. It has per-customer prices, credit payment, reorder from history, approvals and ERP integration - flows specific to the B2B relationship, not shelf selling.
Does it replace my sales reps?+
No, it relieves them. Routine orders move to self-service, and reps focus on advisory and account development.
