Amazon Business is a B2B procurement platform launched by Amazon for business buyers, essentially the 'enterprise version' of Amazon. It allows business buyers to purchase office supplies, industrial goods, IT equipment, etc. in bulk on Amazon, and enjoy exclusive business prices, quantity discounts, VAT invoices, and approval workflows, among other enterprise-level features. Use cases: Foreign trade companies can directly reach global business customers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises and institutional buyers, by joining Amazon Business to achieve online wholesale. Precautions: Need to register a professional seller account and enable B2B functions; products must meet corporate procurement standards (such as bulk packaging, invoice compliance); unlike regular Amazon B2C, Amazon Business emphasizes bulk pricing, account period payment, and tax handling. The difference from 'Amazon Global Selling' is that the latter focuses on B2C retail, while Amazon Business specifically serves B2B transactions, helping sellers expand their enterprise customer base and increase repurchase rates.
