1.1 Introduction:
Online shopping is the process of purchasing goods and services from merchants who sell on the
Internet without the use of an intermediary service. Online shopping is the process of purchasing goods
and services from merchants who sell on the Internet without the use of an intermediary service.
Merchants have sought to sell their products to consumers who surf the Internet since the dawn of the
World Wide Web. Shoppers may visit web stores from the convenience of their own homes, and online
buying is becoming increasingly popular. A growing number of people shop online to buy goods and
services, get product information, or simply explore for fun. According to a survey conducted by Click
Stats, the number of Internet users worldwide is expected to reach 1.8 billion by 2010. This growing and
diverse Internet population means that people with a wide range of tastes and purposes are now turning
to the web for information and to buy products and services. The widespread usage of the Internet and
quick technological advancements have created a new market for both users and businesses. The Internet
is no longer just another way to communicate with clients; it is also a crucial avenue for attracting new
customers and maintaining relationships with existing ones.

1.2 Background of the Study:


One of the world's fastest rising trends is online buying. In Bangladesh, online enterprises are also fast
expanding. Despite the fact that the number of internet users in the country has increased, the number of
online shoppers has not. Online purchasing has a promising economic future. Online traders should be
aware of the industry's scope, and in order to develop this economically viable industry in the country,
they must recognize that success is determined not only by the presence of a website, low prices, and a
wide range of products, but also by the quality of service provided. To switch to online buying, the
consumer must be happy with the additional benefits he or she will obtain.

1.3 Background of the Study:


In today's marketing environment, online marketing has become increasingly important. However, as the
industry grew in importance, the number of scamps, fraudulent methods, and cheating rose as well. Such
deception has instilled fear in the minds of buyers, as well as a negative impact on their attitudes
regarding online purchases. The survey's problem area is consumer satisfaction and attitudes toward
online buying, which will establish the elements that lead customers to shop online, and those factors
will assist marketers build their online marketing tactics.

1.4 Research Questions:

a. Is there any relationship between online shopping in Bangladesh with service quality?

b. Does customer getting a responsive service (Delivery) while purchasing from online?
c. Is online shopping being convenient in Bangladesh?
d. Are customers satisfied with online shopping in Bangladesh?

1.5 Objectives of the Study:


The purpose of this paper is to complete the study " Measuring and Evaluating Customer Satisfaction in
Online Shopping in Bangladesh." The paper also attempted to determine customer satisfaction with
online shopping sites or businesses, to investigate why, despite an increase in the number of internet
users, the number of online shoppers has not increased, and to make recommendations to online sellers
in order to improve the current situation.

1.6 Scope of the Study:


The research includes multiple elements, and we have gathered some potential information on the
customer experience with online buying, as well as the challenges and barriers that customers face and
how they might be overcome. Furthermore, this study discovered the level of client expectation and
behavior in relation to e-commerce stores. This paper has the potential to assist practitioners in their
work on the subject of customer experience and customer satisfaction. It understands how the survey
discovered client attitudes and communicates the results to the generals who require the information to
make an informed decision. This study made several recommendations for retailers based on the
findings.

2.0 Literature Review:


2.1 Online Shopping and Online Business Platforms in Bangladesh:
The process of purchasing goods and services from merchants over the Internet is known as online
shopping. Merchants have sought to market their products to people who spend time online since the
dawn of the World Wide Web. Shoppers can browse web stores from the comfort of their own homes
and shop while seated at their computers. Consumers may purchase a wide range of products from
online sites, and companies who sell their products online can sell just about everything. Consumers can
purchase hundreds of things from online businesses, including books, apparel, household appliances,
toys, hardware, software, and health insurance. Because of the ease, many individuals choose to shop
online. When a person shops in a bricks and mortar store, for example, she must drive to the store, find a
parking spot, then wander around the store until she finds the things she requires. She might have to wait
in long queues at the pay register after she finds the products she wants to buy. In contrast, online buying
10

allows customers to avoid these drawbacks. A person merely needs to get on the internet, go to the
Page

store's website, and select the items she wants. The products are placed in a virtual shopping cart until
she is ready to buy. The shopper can purchase while still in her pajamas, and the transaction can take
place in the wee hours of the morning or late at night. Virtually all online stores are open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. Despite the convenience, not everyone like to buy goods and services over the
internet. Some people enjoy the concept of physically going to a place and participating in the shopping
experience. They enjoy touching the items, trying on clothes, and being in the company of others. Online
shopping does not allow customers to touch objects or engage in social interaction, nor does it allow
them to take items home the same day they purchase them.

The Internet has made people's lives easier by reducing the amount of time and effort required to
complete tasks. It has opened up a new dimension that allows customers to compare products and prices
while staying at home to make a buying decision. In comparison to other countries, Bangladesh is a
latecomer to the online commercial world. Nonetheless, in a short period of time, this industry
experienced remarkable expansion. In Bangladesh, there are approximately 1000 websites and 15,000
Facebook Pages (businesses). Approximately 30,000 packages and 200,000 orders have been placed
everyday via the internet in recent years. Products costing around Tk. 3-4 crore are sold on average.

2.2 Online Shopping and Customer Satisfaction in Bangladesh:


Many factors influence customer satisfaction with online buying. Some of them are: online shop
reputation, on-time delivery and service quality, trust, reliability, privacy, ease of transaction and
affordability, offers, website design and accessibility, online interactivity, responsiveness, customer risk
assessment, compatibility and convenience, and so on. Service quality has been shown to influence
purchasing decisions in studies conducted over the last two decades, but these findings have just recently
been applied to e-commerce. When it comes to measuring the effectiveness of e-commerce enterprises,
several researches have indicated that customer happiness is dependent on online store features. It is
more convenient for people if the information they seek is easily available. Customer happiness has been
shown to be influenced by the depth and convenience with which information may be gathered from a
website. According to a study, online shopping carries risks such as financial, product, non-delivery, and
convenience, all of which might deter individuals from purchasing from e-commerce stores. When there
is a higher level of seeming uncertainty, people are more likely to shop in physical stores rather than
online. We may conclude from the foregoing discussions that, among other factors, service quality,
delivery speed, price, product conformance, and complaint resolution are the primary elements that push
customer happiness towards online buying. Hsuehen (2006) further explained that in defining the sub-
attributes of each main factor, web customer satisfaction can be classified into two distinct attributes:
11

web information quality (IQ), which is defined as "the customers' perception in quality of information p"
and web customer satisfaction.

2.3 Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction in Online Shopping:
Customers of hospitality typically blame themselves for their poor choices, according to Zeithaml V.
(1981). Employees must be aware that unsatisfied clients are unlikely to complain, therefore they must
seek out and remedy sources of unhappiness. Despite the lack of a defined definition of service quality,
Greenrooms Christian (1982) shown that it is what distinguishes hospitality organizations. However,
there are a few alternative ways to categorize service quality into visual, functional, and technological
components. Another technique to verify service quality is to see if it's fit for internal and external
customers to use. Parasuraman, Berry, and Zeithaml (1985) proposed five distinct characteristics of
service excellence that apply to all service industries, namely: Assurance, responsiveness, tangibles,
empathy, and dependability are all qualities to look for. They created the SERVQUAL scale because
there exist various models (scales) for measuring service quality and customer satisfaction, but they are
typically too generalist or ad hoc, making them difficult to employ in the hotel business. TQM, on the
other hand, began in companies that dealt with products because of the unique characteristics of
services, such as impalpability, inseparability from the provider and receiver of service, and
perishability. In their study titled Online shopping' customer satisfaction and loyalty in Norway, Pervaiz
Ali, Sudha Sankaran, and Peter Stevrin looked at the satisfaction and loyalty of online customers in
Norway. The survey's findings show that the majority of Norwegians are satisfied with online shopping,
with just about half remaining loyal to their online store. Customer loyalty can only be achieved in the
long run through customer happiness, which can be achieved by offering thorough product information
on websites, outstanding customer service, quality, and prompt delivery of items, according to the
study's findings. In an institution of higher learning in Malaysia, Eri, Y., Islam, M. A., and Daud, K. A.
K. investigated factors impacting students' buying intentions through internet shopping. Mustafa looked
at the aspects that influence client satisfaction when shopping online. Customer happiness on online
purchasing is influenced by user interface quality, information quality, perceived quality and perceived
privacy, as well as the effects of website design, according to the study's findings. Guo X., Ling K.C.,
and Liu M. investigated the factors that influence customer satisfaction with online shopping and
discovered that website design, security, information quality, payment method, e-service quality, product
quality, product variety, and delivery services are all important determinants of online shopping
satisfaction. Customers' satisfaction with their online purchase is influenced by product feature
satisfaction, tangibility, empathy, effectiveness, and understand ability, according to Lai Wang Wang and
Quoc Liem Le. The study revealed that customers' satisfaction with their online purchase is influenced
12

by product feature satisfaction, tangibility, empathy, effectiveness, and understand ability. According to
Page

Sathiya Bama and Ragaprabha, customer happiness with online shopping is linked to their location, age,
gender, occupation, and the cost of a recent purchase. Customers' happiness with online purchasing in
Coimbatore was studied by Muruganantham S, Nandhini S, Nivetha B, and Nandhini A. The impact of
factors like utility, convenience of use, compatibility, privacy, security, normative views, and attitude on
students' purchasing intentions was investigated. Compatibility, utility, convenience of use, and security
were found to be major indicators of attitude toward online shopping adoption and usage in the study.

5.0 Discussion, Conclusion and Implications:


5.1 Discussion:
To gather data for this study, both primary and secondary sources were utilized. Secondary data
was gathered from relevant books, journals, research papers, and websites. Personal shopping
experiences, observations, and interactions with customers via questionnaires were all important
sources of primary data. A paper copy of the questionnaire and a Google form were used to
collect 50 replies.

a. The level of consumer happiness is heavily influenced by the service quality of online
shopping sites.

b. Customers want things to arrive on schedule. They are satisfied if deliveries are made on
schedule.

c. The pricing variable for determining consumer happiness did not appear to provide enough
insight on the problem, yielding a neutral outcome.

d. Customers place a high value on product compliance.

e. This study also shows that if complaints are handled properly, they can lead to increased
consumer satisfaction and loyalty.

5.2 Conclusion:
The article provided an outline of the elements that affect customer satisfaction in Bangladeshi
internet purchasing. Although online shopping has the ability to draw clients from all over
Bangladesh, it is a difficult effort to ensure and build a perfect environment for meeting various
customer wants. Customer retention is one of the most challenging tasks due to the fierce
competition.

5.3 Practical Implications:


There is no follow-up from sellers on the performance of goods purchased through internet
purchasing. As a result, online sellers should follow the same policies as physical vendors when
it comes to customer follow-up. In online buying, the delivery duration for the goods is one
month. It has to be modified. The merchants must ensure that the things ordered through online
Page 55 of 60

shopping are delivered quickly. Introducing various online shopping incentives, such as discount
sales, gift certificates, free presents, and so on, in order to lure more clients to online shopping.

5.3 Limitations and Future Research:


Due to Covid-19, there is a time limitation for making thesis paper. Hence, data validity is
uncertain as many respondents weren’t responsive enough to do the survey. Among 50 samples,
most of the participants are students, which may or may not be representative of the entire online
shopping community. As a result, the analytical results presented here may be limited in their
applicability. Because online customer perceptions of satisfaction are context-dependent, and
thus their satisfaction variable may be related to specific products and services, more research
can be conducted using regular online shoppers to examine other variables that affect customer
satisfaction with online shopping. Because the data was gathered in Bangladesh, generalizability
to other countries may be restricted due to cultural differences in purchasing behavior and
psychology.
