Business-to-business electronic commerce

Business-to-business electronic commerce (B2B) typically takes the form of automation Processes between trading partners and is performed in much higher volumes than business-to-consumer electronic commerce (B2C) applications. For example, a company that makes chicken feed would sell it to a chicken farm, another company, rather than directly to consumers. An example of a B2C transaction would be a consumer buying grain-fed chickens at a grocery store. B2B can also encompass marketing activities between businesses, and not just the final transactions that result from marketing.
