access to the Internet and a valid method of payment in order to
complete a transaction, such as a credit card, an Interac-enabled
debit card, or a service such as PayPal. For physical products
(e.g., paperback books or clothes), the e-tailer ships the products
to the customer; for digital products, such as digital audio files
of songs or software ,the e-tailer typically sends the file to the
customer over the Internet. The largest of these online retailing

Siriporn Thananuraksakul
(2018),” FACTORS INFLUENCING
ONLINE SHOPPING BEHAVIOR INTENTION: A
STUDY OF THAI CONSUMERS”
This research is aimed at contributing to the literature on factors
influencing Thai online shoppers' purchasing intention,
particularly on shoppers in Bangkok. The Theory of Planned
Behavior is adapted as the theoretical foundation for the
conceptual model used in the research. Descriptive research and
an anonymous questionnaire are designed as the data collection
methodology and are used in the survey fieldwork conducted at
central shopping malls in Bangkok during November and
December, 2005 covering 384 sample participants aged 25 years
19
old and older, with Internet competency. The One-way analysis
of variance (ANOVA) and Multiple Regression are used for
inferential statistics. The findings show that the most important
factor is posittive attitude toward online shopping followed by
trust and subjective norm.
SubhankarTrivedi(2017),“CustomerssatisfactiontowardsOnli
neshopping”,
discussed that different options in internet encouraged people to
search and eventually purchase online, because there are more
than 100 million internet users in India. People those who are
using internet from 5 to 7 hours a day were found to be adopter
of online shopping. Price
consciousness,convenienceandvariety,easypaymentoptionsandch
allengesofonlineshopping are the factors found to be a
significant in online shopping.

Traditional Path of Consumer Purchasing”
concludedinhisresearcharticlethatasuccessfulwebstoreisnotthejus
ta good looking website with the dynamic technical features but
is also emphasis on building the relationship with customers
with making money.The success of any e-tailer company in
India is depending upon its popularity, its branding image, its
unique & fair policies, and its customer relations etc.

Adrita Goswami (2013), studied “Customer Satisfaction
towards Online Shopping with Special Reference to
Teenage Group of Jorhat Town”
study concludes that online customers are satisfied in the aspects
such as Price, Quality of products, Ease of use in mobile
platform and Timely Delivery at remote areas. This research
explicitly indicates that online marketer should give more
importance on price factor and after sale factor.
