B2B is the use of computer applications communicating over networks to allow businesses to complete a transaction or part of a transaction. In contrast to B2C, B2B describes the interaction of businesses. While the amount of B2C transactions using WWW-based technologies (often called online shopping) exceeds the amount B2B transactions, the total value of the B2B transactions is much larger than that of the B2C transactions, because typically B2B transactions are of much greater value than B2C transactions.
