    B2B e-commerce involves businesses selling products to other businesses. A wholesaler may purchase products from a company's website and then sell those products to final customers. Key technologies used in B2B e-commerce include EDI, the internet, intranets, and extranets. There are three main architectural models: supplier oriented marketplaces where suppliers offer e-stores; buyer oriented marketplaces where buyers invite supplier bids; and intermediary oriented marketplaces run by a third party where buyers and sellers can transact.
