What is the difference between Tmall and Taobao? Many people have such questions, and they will think that Tmall and Taobao belong to the same. In fact, this is not the case. Although they are all under Alibaba, their operating models and rules are also independent, so we cannot have such a misunderstanding, thinking that they are one family. Let’s learn more about the differences between Tmall and Taobao?
1. Tmall is a merchant platform, formerly called Taobao Mall, but later it was renamed Tmall. Opening a store on Tmall requires a legal company, business license, and licenses from various industries. For example, those who sell food must have a food circulation license. The industry is called B-store, which is a business store.
Because it is a company-based store, Tmall has transaction deduction points, ranging from 2-8 points. For example, in the food category, there are two orders. If you buy 100 yuan biscuits in a store, Tmall will charge a two-yuan handling fee.
2. Taobao is a market, which is a market that is five or ten in the countryside. It can set up stalls for individuals, and there is no urban management or anything else. Most of them are stores opened by individuals. Also called C-store.
First of all, to understand the meaning of the word "Taobao C Store", we must understand the proper noun in the e-commerce industry: "C2C". This C2C refers to a model of the e-commerce industry, that is, e-commerce between individuals. c2c means consumers. Because the pronunciation of 2 in English is the same as to, c to c is abbreviated as c2c. c refers to the consumer. Because the English word of the consumer is Consumer, it is abbreviated as c, and C2C means Consumer to Consumer. C shops are derived from the meaning of C2C, so Taobao C shops mean individual shops, and some people call them market shops.
There is no deduction for transactions in C-stores. Therefore, the B-store sells 100 oceans of biscuits, but the C-store may be 80 oceans of biscuits.
What they have in common. Tmall Mall and Taobao are both from Alibaba Group, which is from Ma Dad.
in addition. Taobao also provides business stores for those businesses that have company entities but do not have the ability to settle in Tmall.
