Proven B2B ecommerce solutions for online businesses | Algolia

The global business-to-business (B2B) ecommerce market is significantly larger than the B2C market, with a value of $12.2 trillion. This discrepancy can be attributed to factors such as higher average order values in B2B transactions and the fact that many items sold by B2C storefronts are generated through B2B wholesaler and reseller workflows. While advanced ecommerce developments originated in B2C, they have also been adopted in B2B commerce solutions. Key features of successful B2B ecommerce platforms include thorough product information, customizable catalogs and shopping experiences, advanced search capabilities, multichannel support, flexible pricing options, data collection and reporting, a variety of payment methods, and robust customer support.
