Abstract

The Indonesian E-Commerce market, especially in the retail industry, is undergoing a phase of development, but behind the rapid growth of E-Commerce there are contradictory business issues related to online buying behavior. When internet usage is increasing in online shopping activities, a large number of prospective consumers actually decide to cancel at the final stage of completing online transactions, namely at the payment stage. The increase in the value of E-Commerce transactions was not followed by an increase in the ratio of online transaction settlement. The purpose of this research is to explain the effect of trust and Electronic Word of Mouth on online purchase intentions and online purchases, the mediating role of online purchase intentions, and the demographic moderation role on the effect of online purchase intentions on online purchases. Theories used as references are Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Social cognitive theory. Respondents in this study were people of Denpasar City who had purchased fashion products online, in the past one month with a minimum age of 17 years, and had at least 1 purchase.
