Endkunde vs Kunde

customer

'Kunde' and 'Endkunde' can both refer to someone who buys something or uses a service. 'Kunde' is the general term. A customer can also be a dealer or a company that resells something. 'Endkunde', on the other hand, means the final person or organization in the sales chain that buys the product for its own use. The words can be confused because an end customer is always also a customer. When the distribution chain is important, 'Endkunde' is more precise.
