E-commerce consulting services for B2B and B2C

Consider updating an e-commerce website or thinking about creating a new website to present your products or services online with an online order processing system, then these services are for you.
E-commerce consulting services can be useful for B2B (business for business) and B2C (business for consumer) site owners.
B2C e-commerce refers to online transactions that take place directly through the Internet between the company and the end-user.
The website on which these transactions are performed is usually called an online store.

These transactions are carried out through the portal B2B, which works similarly to the online store, the difference being that it concerns the company, not the person.
