This study investigated the factors influencing consumers' purchase intention from online stores in Qatar. Moreover, it tried to verify if payment method moderates the relationships concerning the suggested factors and online purchase intention. This research extended the theory of reasoned behavior (TRA) with trust as a predictor and payment method as a moderator. A total of 283 valid responses were collected from Qatari residents through an online questionnaire and analyzed the data to test the research hypotheses. The findings of this research indicated that all proposed factors significantly influenced online purchase intention. Results also indicated that there is no moderation effect of payment method on the proposed hypotheses. Further investigations revealed that all proposed factors significantly affect the online purchase intention for customers who prefer to use credit card payment. Managerial implications and recommendations were presented in addition to the study limitations and suggestions for future research.

This study aims to investigate the impact of selected factors (website quality, website brand, trust, SNS usage through mobile application, eWOM, and mobile phone addiction) on online purchase intention during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also investigates the mediating impact of trust on the association between website quality, website brand, and online purchase intention. Data were collected from 226 Facebook users in Lebanon. The hierarchical regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of these factors on online purchase intention. The results show that only website brand and mobile phone addiction were significantly related to online purchase intention. It was also found that trust does not have a mediation effect on the relationship between website brand and online purchase intention. However, trust can be considered as a partial mediator of the relationship between website quality and online purchase intention. Finally, practical implications are discussed. Then directions for future research are presented.

Online retail stores are a new booming phenomenon in the Arab world. Recent years witnessed a significant increase in the number of Arabic online stores launched for different kinds of products and services. Stores offer grocery products, fashion and life style items, and electronics and technology devices. Regardless of the growing investments in the Arabic online retail sector, Arabic consumers are still doubtful about online shopping. This research investigated the factors affecting Jordanians' purchase intentions from online stores by extending the technology acceptance model (TAM) to include payment method. The model included payment method (PM), perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU), as direct predictors of the intention to use online stores and moderated by consumers' level of trust of such factors. Results indicated that TAM predictors, and payment methods do affect consumers' intention to purchase online. However, PM and PEOU relationships with the intention to shop online are the only relationships moderated by trust.

Perception of products has becoming one of the most important factors influencing consumers’ purchase intention in the context of online shopping. Thus, enriching and studying review presentation formats have been significant things for practitioners and researchers. This study employed dual coding theory and telepresence theory to investigate the effects of review presentation formats (text-based reviews, image-based reviews and video-based reviews) on consumers’ purchase intention, and then analysed the moderation effect of product type. The 3×2 between-subject situational experiment and 3×2 within-subject eye-tracking experiment design were separately applied to test the hypotheses. The results manifested that review presentation formats exactly could generate different impacts on consumers’ purchase intentions. And product type moderated the impact of presentation formats on purchase intentions. Hence, this research considered online vendors should pay more attention to image-based and video-based reviews, moreover take the product type into account.

With the development of Internet technology, e-commerce platforms have emerged one after another, and the competition of the fruit e-commerce market is increasingly intensified. How to boost customer demand by improving their purchase intention has become a key issue. The study identified the critical conditions leading to high purchase intention of fruits through fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. The empirical analysis was conducted based on an online questionnaire of 344 Internet users. The results reveal that high purchase intention comes from high fruit quality, high fruit price concessions and supply service, and low perceived risk (peripheral conditions). In addition, high purchase intention can also be realized from high fruit quality, high fruit price concessions, high supply service, and high website information quality (peripheral conditions). This study provides more nuanced thinking of how to improve online purchase intention of fruits.

The study investigated the intention of working women to buy green cosmetic products. In addition, it also analyzes the relationship between motivational factors, purchase preferences, and tendency towards health consciousness on the purchase intention of green cosmetic products. A model was developed to understand the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. Motivational factors, purchase preferences, and tendency towards health consciousness were considered as independent variables and purchase intention of green cosmetic products as the dependent variable. The survey was conducted using an online questionnaire and collected data from 119 working women. Multiple linear regression in SPSS software was used to analyze the collected data. The results show that motivational factors have no significant effect on the purchase intention of green cosmetics. Meanwhile, purchase preferences and tendency towards health consciousness significantly affect purchase intention of green cosmetics. This study focuses on a group of working women. Future research may involve demographic variables, spending on buying green products, and lifestyle variables. Further research can also use in-depth interviews and focus group discussions on finding out more details regarding the use of green products. The green product is also closely related to the high-involvement product. It becomes interesting to involve it in further research.
