On Jforce B2C (business to customer) are orders you make on a unique product that are less than or equal to 19 units or less than or equal to 600,000 naira.
This simply means that if you order 19 unit or less of a unique product on Jumia at once, or the order is less than 600,000 Naira in total, then you’re in the B2C range.
While
While B2B (business to business) means that you order 20 or more unit of a unique product on Jumia at once, or that the total price of the product(s) is more than 600,000 Naira.
What does unique product mean?
Meaning that, products that have the same SKU can be classified as the same product, no matter whether they are on different sales page, so if you order the first phone 10 pieces and the second one 10 pieces, the order will be counted as B2B, because it equals 20 pieces of the same product (SKU).
