E-commerce applications are a bit misleading terminology because it leads to two
possible understandings: one, where e-commerce is used as a marketing medium;
Retail and wholesale; Auction; E-banking; Booking, and so on.

Types of E-Commerce Applications
We may classify e-commerce apps in many forms, but here we present a definition that
is aligned with the growth of e-commerce for mobile apps.
1.B2B (Business- to — Business)
The B2B eCommerce application concerns the delivery of goods and services between
two businesses. Therefore, the products they sell to become the raw material for
another industry. Mobile apps that offer vehicle spare parts, computer components,
etc.. fall into this category of applications.
2.B2C (Business toTwo Consumer)
This represents the majority of the mobile apps we use today. It connects a business
that provides a product or service to an individual customer. The affair here is direct
with the consumer.
3.C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer)
This is where two or more users exchange. The best example of such transactions are
applications that facilitate the auction of products.
4.C2B (Consumer-to-Business)
Although these types of applications are few, agencies such as Clutch and GitHub are
laying the groundwork for such opportunities. Designers, content writers, or
professionals in various fields can present their masterpieces to businesses through
such C2B e-commerce applications. If you have such wonderful mobile app ideas, don’t
wait and start working on them.
Why do you need eCommerce apps for your business?

into e-commerce applications. Another reason is that by the end of this year, about
75% of the US population will be smartphone users.
The well-designed e-commerce app lets you take advantage of your opponents. It does
that by offering:
1.Mobility
You can’t move your store from one city to another, but you can refer to a smartphone
user. And it’s possible in a matter of seconds with the simple share button from the
United States to Japan, Finland to Papua New Guinea. This is the power of mobile
apps. It adds significant infinity mobility to your store, big or small, in size.
2.One-to-one marketing
Before the development of the e-commerce app, it was impossible to imagine that you
could market to everyone in a town. But today it is possible. The other side of it is that
you can target the customer one by one. New analytics tools like Big Analytics and
others in the stream help you reward, persuade, and win customers who are most loyal
to you and influence new people.
3.Fast payment
E-commerce applications come with built-in features such as in-app payments. An
eCommerce app will help your customers get easy refunds and pay you faster. They are

quarter. Imagine being able to do this every week or even if your resources allow it on a
daily basis. A new look is waiting for your customers every day. Well, it’s only in a
mobile app. You can get and turn into actions. What better way to build brand loyalty?
