B2C Tutorial

In Zoho CRM, Business-to-Business (B2B) type of business process data is populated. However, customers can customize the CRM business process to Business-to-Consumer (B2C) by using the Zoho CRM Customization tools. 

In a typical B2C business process, Company Name (Account Name in Zoho CRM) is an optional field, hence before using Zoho CRM for B2C type scenario, System Administrator has to customize Leads, Contacts, Potentials, Quotes, Orders, and Invoices modules.

Best Examples of B2C Companies: amazon.com, ebay.com, or any company directly selling products to consumers.

A flaw in this guide is that if you only use Contacts and you create Quotes, Sales Orders or Invoices from Contacts--it does not automatically copy the address of the Contact but instead still looks up the address from the Accounts module. Hope there is an option to copy address from Contacts.
