Abstract
Even though many customers in the US and Europe often purchase online, even though many customers in the US and Europe often purchase online. Considering this, this study suggests a paradigm to improve researchers' comprehension of consumers' opinions toward internet buying and their propensity to do so. The concept extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) components through exogenous variables and applies them to the situation of online purchasing. The analysis demonstrates that convenience, utility, and enjoyment are not the only factors influencing views about online purchasing and intention to shop online., but also by external elements such as customer characteristics, environmental circumstances, product attributes, prior online purchasing experiences, and confidence in online shopping. The study pinpoints important exogenous variables that have a big impact on people's attitudes and intentions toward internet purchasing. These include attributes of the customer, situational circumstances, product attributes, past online purchasing experiences, and the all-important component of trust in the online shopping environment. The research endeavors to offer a more comprehensive and nuanced viewpoint on the intricate interplay of variables that influence consumers' decisions to purchase online by incorporating these varied elements into the framework. To improve researchers' comprehension of the multitude of impacts on consumers' attitudes regarding online shopping and their intents to engage in e-commerce activities, this study offers a strong and thorough framework that synthesizes the TAM with a variety of exogenous variables. By adopting a comprehensive strategy
