 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

As the fast-paced of environment 21st century students are prone to

different social media cites and that includes the shopping through online.

Online shopping is the act of consumers making direct purchases from vendors

of goods and services via the Internet at any time without the assistance of a

middleman service. It's a specific kind of online enterprise. An online shop, e-

shop, e-store, Internet shop, web shop, online store, or virtual store evokes the

concrete analogue of purchasing goods or services from a physical merchant

or from a shopping mall. An excellent online store is easy to use and navigate

when looking for potential purchases. It includes product information, seller

information, and service center information, as well as a product catalog that

customers can use to browse the search keywords (usually a kind, price,

material, age, and so on). Moreover, a complaints procedure and business

terms be discussed in online businesses. Internet shopping is thought to be a very

practical way to make purchases via the internet, especially during the holidays

and during clearance sales. It allows clients to choose from a variety of storage

options rather than just one store's vast selection of goods. Unit that has several

different stuff in it. When customers shop online, they can also receive excellent

customer service. Many people worldwide prefer to shop online to buy products

from a variety of brands and businesses that they can't find or that aren't
available in their home nations. Because to new technology and the power of

the internet, people from all over the world have begun to make purchases

while only sitting in their homes. Online shopping for goods and services is a

straightforward process. It now plays a huge role in everyone's life, notably that

of the elderly and those with extremely hectic schedules. By allowing customers

to save items in their personal shopping bags and purchase them later, it gives

customers a very practical option. When a customer finds something they want

to buy, they can add it to their shopping basket by pressing "check out." All

items to be purchased are placed in the shopping cart. After a customer is

happy with their selections, they submit a final purchase and pay with a credit

card or another method. Online shopping is currently incredibly popular for a

number of reasons. The popularity of online shopping is undoubtedly being

driven by external factors, such as rising gas expenses, the difficulty of visiting

traditional businesses, and the disappointments shoppers frequently experience

at shopping centers and other traditional retailers. Online shopping not only

offers excellent savings, but also maximizes convenience for customers.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Convenience and Accessibility

Online shopping offers unparalleled convenience and accessibility for

consumers. Shoppers can browse and purchase products anytime, anywhere,

without the constraints of physical store hours or geographical limitations. This

convenience factor has transformed the way people shop and has led to a shift

towards online platforms. (Chaffey, D., & Ellis-Chadwick, F. (2019). Digital

marketing. Pearson UK.)

Increased Product Variety and Selection

Online shopping has expanded the range of products available to

consumers. With a vast number of online retailers, shoppers can access a wide

variety of goods, including niche or specialized items that may not be available

in local stores. This has empowered consumers with more choices and the ability

to find unique or hard-to-find products. (IBISWorld. (2021). E-Commerce & Online

Auctions in the US - Industry Market Research Report.)

Price Comparison and Savings

Online shopping facilitates easy comparison of prices and deals across

different retailers. Consumers can quickly search and compare prices to find the

best possible deals, leading to potential cost savings. Additionally, online

retailers often offer exclusive discounts, promotions, and loyalty programs,

further enhancing the savings for shoppers. (Mintel. (2020). US Online Shopping -

US - August 2020.)

Impact on Brick-and-Mortar Retail

The rise of online shopping has had a profound impact on traditional

brick-and-mortar retail. Physical retailers have faced increasing competition

from online stores, leading to store closures, bankruptcies, and a shift in

consumer preferences. Many traditional retailers have had to adapt by

incorporating online sales channels or enhancing the in-store experience to stay

competitive. (Hübner, A., & Holweg, C. (2019). The disruption of retailing: The

clash of the e-commerce and brick-and-mortar retailing business models.

Business Horizons, 62(6), 703-717.)

Logistics and Supply Chain Transformation

Online shopping has necessitated significant changes in logistics and

supply chain management. Retailers have had to establish efficient order

fulfillment processes, optimize inventory management, and implement robust

last-mile delivery systems to meet the expectations of online shoppers. This

transformation has had implications for warehousing, transportation, and

delivery services. (Stemberg, R. (2021). The Impact of Online Shopping on Supply

Chain Operations. International Journal of Business and Management, 16(2), 17-

23.)
