B2B commerce (Business to Business) - This means that inter-company buying and selling activities will take place entirely on the Internet. This initiative received a serious echo at the end of the dot-com era. Because of technological difficulties and the difficulty in institutionalizing the connection, creating joint catalogs, etc. , failed to rise. At the moment in the state of infrastructure construction and beginnings in cases where there is economic justification. The considerations for strategic integration in e-commerce should be cost-benefit considerations. Entry into e-commerce requires general preparation of the company's various departments: production, marketing, operations, sales and the like. Many traditional companies have collapsed from improper entry into e-commerce. Most of the websites in the network are image sites, which present the business in general. For this reason, it is important to design the graphic design of the site.

Trade sites cannot and should not compete with the conventional shopping experience, which includes rubbing with living people and sensory experience (especially smell and taste).

The only cost is the cost of ongoing maintenance to the site, which is immeasurably cheaper than the cost of a store, ignoring the advantage of the size of the leading firms, the ability to quickly adapt to market conditions and its dynamism. There is no limit to advertising space or advertising time, the ability to build relationships with the customer (responses by e-mail).
