If this incredible sum doesn’t grab your attention, it’s equivalent to +20% (19.6%, to be precise) and equates to the increase in online B2B sales in the first quarter of 2022 in France.

Professions Although some functions are found in both activities, such as management or marketing, the core business of the Marketplace operator and the e-merchant differ.Indeed, the job of a Marketplace operator is above all to find and integrate sellers on its platform, as well as to manage the acquisition of traffic on the site.The manager of a merchant
