• Updated On Jun 1, 2020

Introduction

Online shopping is a type of electronic E-commerce in which the consumers can purchase goods as well as services directly from the seller through the internet. Consumers, to find the desired product, visit the retailer's website either directly or search among the various other alternative vendors. The shopping search engine is used for searching, which shows the pricing and availability of the same product with different e-retailers. While shopping through an online store, the customers can browse through a firm's wide variety of services and products, view the products' images, and also see the information on the specifications, prices, and features of the product. By using the "search" features, the customers can find specific brands, models, or items in the online stores. For online shopping, there are many shopping websites as well as portals that sell products of different sellers such as eBay, Amazon, etc.

Consumers’ buying behavior

In the e-commerce industry, the buying behavior of the customers are not affected by the brand or firm, and their buying decisions get influenced by the search engine, online reviews, recommendations, and other related information. The digital environment has a significant effect on the minds of the consumers and on their buying behavior too. Interactivity and clear visibility help the customers in making a wise decision in terms of shopping products online. Potential buyers are influenced by the online reviews and ratings of the particular product or the firm.

Some online stores have convenient and easy return policies that enable the customers to return or exchange the products if they are not satisfied with it. It also gives convenience to the customers regarding creating a cart or wish listing the products they like.

• Reviews and information: Some of the online stores provide to its customers with the product information, which includes instructions, demonstrations, manufacturer specifications, use of the product, etc. These all information and details help the customer in deciding on which products are right to buy. Some online stores allow their customers to rate or comment on their products. There are specific review sites also which enables the customers to view the reviews related to different products.

It saves a lot of customers' time, thus enhancing their shopping experience.
