In a trade, the retailer’s and dealer’s function are different, that is a retailer sells the product to the end-user, and dealer buys and then sells the product to the consumer.

The recipients of the products differ in the case of a vendor and a seller. A vendor sells the product to any consumer or end-user, while a seller sells the products to any buyer.

The retailer and vendors are an integral part in the trade cycles but they differ in their functions. A retailer sells the product to the end-users, while a vendor supplies the products.

Retailer and Reseller are basically sellers. Retailers sell the manufactured product to the end-users, while resellers sell the sold products back to any respective authority in a trade cycle.

Distributor and Stockist both distribute the goods, but, a distributor distributes the goods without any planning, whereas a stockist distributes the goods with a plan.
