retail transactions
Buying at shops
Retail transactions are purchases made by consumers from businesses selling goods or services directly to the public.
The term appears in commerce, banking, and point-of-sale contexts, distinguishing everyday consumer purchases from wholesale or business-to-business dealings: The store processes thousands of retail transactions daily.
Credit card companies track retail transactions for fraud detection.
