Merchants from Holland and the Middle East trading.
A merchant is a businessperson who
trades in commodities that were produced by others, in order to earn a
profit.
Merchants can be one of two types:
A
wholesale merchant operates in the chain between producer and retail merchant. Some wholesale merchants only organize the movement of goods rather than move the goods themselves.
A
retail merchant or
retailer, sells commodities to consumers (including businesses). A shop owner is a retail merchant.
A merchant
class characterizes many
pre-modern societies. Its status can range from high (the members even eventually achieving titles such as that of
Merchant Prince or
nabob) to low, as in
Chinese culture, owing to the presumed distastefulness of profiting from "mere"
trade rather than from labor or the labor of others as in
agriculture and
craftsmanship.
