B2C (Business-to-Consumer)

B2C stands for business-to-consumer: direct sales or services from a business to the end consumer. E-commerce and online stores are typical B2C businesses.

B2C (Business-to-Consumer) describes the relationship where a company sells products or services directly to individual consumers. Online stores, subscription services, and consumer SaaS products are all examples of B2C.

In B2C customer service, it's all about speed and scalability. You deal with high volumes of questions, often about the same topics: order status, returns, delivery times, and product information. Customers expect fast answers via the channel of their choice.

The challenge for B2C companies is to provide personal service at scale. That means: automate smartly where you can, be human where it matters, and always be available on the channels your customers use.
