What distinguishes a B2B shop from a B2C online store?
Answer
B2B shops differ fundamentally from B2C solutions in several core areas: customer-specific price lists and volume discounts replace uniform consumer prices. Multi-tier approval workflows map internal authorization processes. Quota and budget management enables decentralized procurement with centralized control. Additionally, B2B shops require deep ERP integrations for real-time synchronization of inventory, pricing and order status. Product catalogs are frequently many times larger than in B2C and require specialized search and filter functionality.
