Customers are realizing the importance and benefits of shopping online such as convenience, comparison, product research, larger selection, and lower prices. The dynamic nature of e-commerce evokes online businesses to make alterations in their business processes and decisions making to satisfy customers’ needs.

Online trust may be influenced by factors such as usability, familiarity and conducting business with unknown parties. This paper discusses fuzzy logic and BI approach to gauge the level of trust and security in online transactions. The paper further addresses the issues and concerns related to the equilibrium of trust, security, and usability in online shopping.
