Social commerce has expanded rapidly as a mainstream online shopping channel over the past year, compelling consumers to spend more money vis-<TEX>$\grave{a}$</TEX>-vis social commerce websites. This allows individuals to see different lists of prices for specific products; however, it is also likely to lead to serious compulsive buying. Despite these changing trends, earlier studies have been limited to factors that affect impulse purchases vis-<TEX>$\grave{a}$</TEX>-vis Internet shopping malls; therefore, in is salient to conduct research on consumer spending habits related to social commerce websites. This study describes the characteristics of consumers and utilizes social commerce websites as parameters for the impact of impulsive shopping based on a survey of 300 women in their 20's who have experienced impulse buying vis-<TEX>$\grave{a}$</TEX>-vis social commerce websites.
