B2B vs B2C Shipping: B2C ships small parcels to homes with COD and returns; B2B ships cartons/pallets to businesses on credit terms with e-way bills and appointment delivery.
Why you care: The tools diverge completely — B2B needs LTL freight, delivery appointments and GST documents.
In practice: 30 units to a boutique in Indore = a carton on LTL freight + e-way bill
Every Indian courier, inside your store. An order comes in,
we quote every connected carrier on the order page — you book the best rate, hyperlocal or national.

Why it matters to your store
The tools diverge completely — B2B needs LTL freight, delivery appointments and GST documents. Many 'courier' platforms are B2C-only; check before scaling wholesale orders.
This is the vocabulary every courier invoice, NDR report and rate card is written in — learn it once, save money forever.
30 units to a boutique in Indore = a carton on LTL freight + e-way bill — not thirty consumer parcels.
