technology developer. By this online business there is a lot advantages for both for costumer or the seller.
Online business give a lot of advantages for both costumer and seller, because it more effecient and more easy
to promotion and less cost, also in online shopping the seller doesn’t need a building and it can make easier for
the costumer and seller because the costumer doesn’t need to come to the store when they need something to

2. THEORY
2.1 Online Shopping
Today, internet usage is growing every day and has been used every day. Based on the survey results
of APJII (Association of Indonesian Internet Service Providers) in 2017 internet users in Indonesia
amounted to 143.26 million of the total population of Indonesia as many as 262 million people,
equivalent to 54.68%. interesting is the use of the internet in the economic field, especially online
purchases have reached 32.19%. online shopping is the choice of many people in shopping for
secondary needs such as clothing and cosmetics. This is because online shopping offers convenience
for internet users to be able to shop for goods anywhere, without the need to go directly to the store.
Changing the pattern of buyers from offline shopping to online shopping is nothing but one of the
effects of increasing internet usage. The last fact is very important to identify the influence of online
shopping on shopping behavior. There are several reasons why consumers prefer online shopping
rather than offline shopping (Ollie, 2008), namely:
a. time
Consumers prefer online shopping because the time used is relatively small compared to shopping
offline which requires a relatively long time and in the online shop the goods sold are usually
included in the specifications of a very complete item.
b. Availability of goods on the market
There are times when an item that consumers are looking for is very difficult to find in a consumer's
residence.
c. Price
In some onilne stores, prices can be cheaper than prices available in offline stores.
Survey research design was adopted for the study. The survey is considered useful because it is
important in obtaining information from the population about their opinion and behavior towards a
subject. According to Ohaja (2003, p. 11) "The survey is a study of the characteristics of a sample
through questioning that enable the researcher to make generalization concerning his population of
interest. "This research will use quantitative methods. Quantitative research methods are research
methods dealing with numbers and anything that is measurable in a systematic way of investigation
of phenomena and their relationships. It is used to answer questions on relationships within
measurable variables with an intention to explain, predict and control phenomena (Leedy 1993). An
entire quantitative study with confirmation or disconfirmation of the hypothesis tested.
Ohaja (2003, p.75) sees population as “all those persons or things that
fall under the umbrella of the topic or that can be examined to address
the research problem or meet the research objectives.the population of
this study is the students of econnomic and business mulawarman
university.Student samples are well suited to e-shopping research, because
they are computer literate (Balabanis and Reynolds 2001; Fiore et al.
2005) “shoppers of tomorrow” (Dennis et al. 2002a: 283). The profile of
students is closer to that of the online customer population than is the
profile of the general population and accepted as suitable subjects for
technology acceptance studies (King and He 2006). Respondents involved in this study
were 50 students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Mulawarman University..
