The negative impacts of COVID-19 to every aspects of social-economic structure lead to the retail industry’s changes by shifting from traditional way to online shopping. Although Vietnam is potential market of e-commerce, there are still lots of barriers of online shopping to customer behaviour, especially how to improve the customer experience in purchasing process. Therefore, this paper analyses the mediating role of customer experience on the relationship between online shopping determinants such as: payment barrier, bad complaint resolve, slow delivery process, poor product quality, technical problem, and customer satisfaction in Vietnam. The online survey is conducted according to the related theories, relevant empirical evidence, and pilot study to collect reliable data from 360-400 respondents in Ho Chi Minh city and Ha Noi city. Some quantitative data analysis techniques are proposed and used in this study, including descriptive statistics, reliability, explanatory factor analysis, variance analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. For using them, the researcher expects that all factors have significant and negative effect on customer satisfaction through customer experience. By developing one of the first research attempt on pre-normal phase of COVID-19 pandemic, the researchers believes the marketers and top managers at e-commerce companies in Vietnam to have sufficient information about how their customers’ experience with online shopping platforms and related services.

Besides, this study examines the consequence of consumer’s e-loyalty. Survey data collected from 594 respondents aged at least 16 years and performed some online shopping through websites in Vietnam. Based on the theoretical framework, PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 3.0 software was deployed to discover links between the constructs. The results showed a positive effect ofwebsite quality on e-loyalty, which was mediated partially through consumer e-trust and e-satisfaction. Moreover, e-loyalty had a positive association with electronic word of mouth (eWOM) as well.

PurposeThis paper aims to determine the effect of the congruence between a website's background color and its context (product category) on online trust and resulting behavioral intentions in emerging markets.Design/methodology/approachAn online experiment, conducted on 240 web-surfers, compared two versions of a website (high vs low color-context congruence) in terms of online trust and resulting behavioral intentions. The authors also studied the moderating role of the online shopping experience on the color-context congruence impact on online trust.FindingsResults revealed that a website's color-context congruence enhances online trust. The authors have also demonstrated that online trust plays a mediating role in the relationship between color-context congruence and behavioral intentions. Moreover, they found out that the influence of the color-context congruence on online trust is enhanced when the web-surfer is highly experienced in online shopping.Research limitations/implicationsThis research contributes to fill in the theoretical gaps and to better understand the influence of color-context congruence on online trust and behavioral intentions in emerging markets. Indeed, past studies had focused on the color impact on online trust without taking into consideration congruence with the website context. However, this study is limited to a single category of products (tourist products) and only two colors (blue and red) were manipulated in the experiment.Practical implicationsThis study highlights the importance of selecting a background's color that matches with the sold product category to reassure web-surfers so that they trust the commercial website and express some favorable intentions like buying.Originality/valuePrior studies had focused on the website's color effect on online trust neglecting color-context congruence. Our study helps to highlight the importance of selecting background colors matching the product category.
