retail sale
Shop purchase event
A retail sale is a transaction where goods are sold directly to the end consumer, as opposed to wholesale sales between businesses.
The term appears most often in legal, tax, and commercial contexts: Retail sales are subject to state tax.
Most everyday shopping—at stores, restaurants, or online—constitutes retail sale.
