An online shop, e-shop, e-store, internet shop, web shop, web store, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or in a shopping center. The process is called Business-to-Consumer (B2C) online shopping. This is the type of electronic commerce conducted by companies such as Amazon.com. When a business buys from another business it is called Business-to-Business (B2B) online shopping.
