INTRODUCTION
The world of online practically can be considered as an endless market, where a
consumer living in any country of the world can get into a contractual relation with
a trader operating in any other country of the world. From this aspect a cross-
border purchase is when the consumer buys goods from any web trader settled
anywhere in the world outside in the country of residence. Due to the differences in
language and legislation environment, furthermore sometimes in commercial
traditions it is particularly essential to consider whether to buy the selected product
from a web store operated by a foreign trader. The consumer, in case of online
purchase can buy the selected product rapidly by doing some clicks from home or
work saving time and energy in spite of the larger distance arising from the endless
and unlimited market offered by the online. In addition, the online can also
facilitate the purchase of consumers with reduced mobility. Since the consumer
does not have to go to the premises of the trader, and is not limited by the opening
hours, it can place an order at all times. Such items can also be purchased that are
not available in the surroundings of the consumer, thus the choice of goods is
significantly broader, and furthermore the delivery can be requested not only to the
place of residence but to the workplace, as well. The offers on the online can be
easily compared, therefore the consumer can buy the product with the most

favorable conditions (price, quality, other discounts) tailored to the individual‟s
needs.
Besides the advantages however, it is good to know that there may also be risks
connecting to online purchase, since the conclusion of the contract is done without
personal interaction, and the consumer sitting in front of a computer/screen tends
not to think over or consider in the intention of buying. This is manifested in a
twofold information deficit concerning on the one hand the product to be bought
and on the other hand concerning the identity of the trader.
The consumer only has a limited amount of information concerning the product,
which is provided by the trader on the website, moreover he cannot physically
check or try the product, whether the actual characteristics are matching the stated
ones referred to on the website or not, and its quality is the same as expected.
The online is being developed rapidly since last two decades, and with relevant
digital economy that is driven by information technology also being developed
worldwide. After a long term development of online, which rapidly increased web
users and highly speed online connection, and some new technology also have
been developed and used for web developing, those lead to firms can promote and
enhance images of product and services through web site. Therefore, detailed
product information and improved service attracts more and more people changed

their consumer behavior from the traditional mode to more rely on the online
purchase. On the other hand, more companies have realized that the consumer
behavior transformation is unavoidable trend, and thus change their marketing
strategy. As the recent researches have indicated that, the online purchase
particularly in business to consumer (B2C) has risen and online purchase becomes
more popular to many people? According to the report, the Emerging Digital
Economy II, published by the US Department of Commerce, in some companies,
the weight of e-commerce in total sales is quite high. For instance, the Dell
computer company has reached 18 million dollars sales through the online during
the first quarter of 1999. As a result, about 30% of its 5.5 billion dollars total sales
were achieved through the online (Moon, 2004). Therefore, to understand online
purchase and its impact on consumer behavior could help companies making use
of it as a form of doing e-business. There are many reasons for such a rapid
developing of online purchase, which mainly due to the benefits that online
provides. First of all, the online offers different kind of convenience to consumers.
Obviously, consumers do not need go out looking for product information as the
online can help them to search from online sites, and it also helps evaluate between
each sites to get the cheapest price for purchase. Furthermore, the online can
enhance consumer use product more efficiently and effectively than other channels
to satisfy their needs. Through the different search engines, consumers save time to

access to the consumption related information, and which information with mixture
of images, sound, and very detailed text description to help consumer learning and
choosing the most suitable product (Moon, 2004). However, online purchase has
potential risks for the customers, such as payment safety, and after service. Due to
the online technology developed, online payment recently becomes prevalent way
for purchasing goods from the online. Online payment increase consumptive
efficiency, at the same time, as its virtual property reduced online security. After
service is another way to stop customer purchase online. It is not like traditional
retail, customer has risk that some after service should face to face serve, and
especially in some complicated goods.

IMPACT OF DEMONETIZATION ON E-COMMERCE
PESSIMISTIC VIEW:
With the ban on Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes, ecommerce players were
forced to stop “cash-on delivery” payment modes on their site. Certain ecommerce
players like flip kart and Snap deal made restrictions on the order purchase value to
below Rs 1000. While Amazon India stopped CoD orders, a day after the big
announcement. These ecommerce companies also stopped receiving old
denomination notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes and paid more emphasis on other
means of digital payments. The demonetization move has hurt the ecommerce
conversions of various companies from Flip kart to Zomato, which is a food
discovery and delivery portal with other companies that mainly generate revenues
through hard cash that accounts for around 60-70% of total orders. With fall in
CoD orders, demonetization has led to jump in digital payment options for making
online transactions. As per a research done by the Forrester Research, “The cash on
delivery share will come down and it will force customers to make payments
online. Initially, in the next 1-2 months it may hurt ecommerce companies.” This
drop was further attributed to the curb on black money due to this demonetization
move which was used to make the purchase through various ecommerce stores.
“About 40% of CoD was driven by black money according to a study done two

years ago.” It has been further projected that “This will have a serious impact on
GMV as not all CoD will move digital payments. In the rural economy where
consumers are still not that comfortable with digital money yet and who are still
adapting to the internet will stay away.” With the scarcity of cash, it is definitely
taking a toll on the conversion rate optimization practices and ecommerce sales are
eventually dropping.
OPTIMISTIC VIEW:
Demonetization has given a boost to digital payments and is encouraging people to
shop online more. This will definitely provide an opportunity for ecommerce
players to push customers towards adopting cashless instruments and recalibrate
business models to incentivize cashless instruments.

CHAPTER-2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Review of research report is done to what research works have already been done
on this and related topics or fields, the methodology adopted by them, the findings
and conclusions, the listed scope for further research and so on. Below an attempt
is made to review the available literature related to the topic of this research.
Li and Zhang’s (2002) taxonomy that developed based on their analysis, there are
ten impacts of relevant factors on online consumer behaviors. These ten factors
could be categorized into five independent variables (external environment,
demographics, personal characteristics, vendor/service/product characteristics, and
web site quality) and five dependent variables (attitude toward online shopping,
intention to shop online, decision making, online purchasing, and consumer
satisfaction). The five independent variables are identified as antecedents, which
directly determine attitudes towards online shopping. In the antecedents, the
vendor/service/product characteristics and web site quality are directly impact on
consumer satisfaction. The figure clearly shows that the antecedents, attitude,
intention, decision making, and online purchasing are series of processing stage.
Consumer satisfaction is separated and occurs among at all possible stages
depending on the consumer‟s involvement during the Internet shopping process,
and this two ways relationship could influence each reciprocally.

Xia Liu, Mengqiao He, Fang Gao, Peihong Xie, (2008) The purpose of this study
is to identify factors that may influence Chinese customers' online purchase
satisfaction, including those which are ignored by prior studies, from the
perspective of total online purchase experience. In this paper, the authors propose a
model of the satisfaction process in the e‐commerce environment, identifying key
constructs proposed by prior studies and developing hypotheses about which
dimensions of online retailer constructs are significant predictors of online shopper
satisfaction. The authors test the hypotheses through multiple regression analysis
based on a survey of 1001 online customers. The analysis suggests that eight
constructs – information quality, web site design, merchandise attributes,
transaction capability, security/privacy, payment, delivery, and customer service
are strongly predictive of online purchase customer satisfaction, while the effect of
response time is not significant. This research contributes to the study of online
purchase customer satisfaction by developing a model of the satisfaction process in
the e‐commerce environment, and identifying factors that may influence Chinese
customers' online purchase satisfaction including those which are ignored by prior
studies.
Broekhuizen and Huizingh (2009) conduct a study on” Online purchase
determinants: Is their effect moderated by direct experience.” The purpose of this
paper is to examine the moderating influence of direct online purchase experience

in an e‐commerce context. Compared to the purchasers, the inquirers were more
concerned with the perceived enjoyment, risk and price attractiveness offered by
the website, while caring less about time/effort savings. Inquirers were negatively
influenced by the price attractiveness of their chosen insurance, which indicates
that they were less likely to use the website for future transactions if they were
satisfied with their current price. Guidelines for managers of websites for financial
services about how to convert inquirers into buyers and improve the loyalty of
online buyers. Draws upon insights from marketing, e‐commerce and information
systems to provide substantial support for the hypotheses regarding the moderating
influence of direct online purchase experience.
Torben Hansen, Jan Møller Jensen, (2009) conduct a study on “Purchase
orientation and online clothing purchases: the role of gender and purchase
situation” This paper seeks to investigate purchase orientation and online clothing
purchases across four different gender‐related purchasing contexts. A conceptual
model for understanding the impact of purchase orientation on consumer online
clothing purchase is proposed and tested both in a general setting and across
purchasing contexts. The results support the expected differences in men's and
women's purchase orientations and willingness to purchase clothing online. On
average, consumers indicate that reduced difficulty in selecting items is sorely
needed when purchasing clothing online. However, when evaluated across

different purchasing situations, perceived difficulty in selecting items is an
important action barrier only for women. Less fun significantly affected online
clothing purchases for men purchasing clothing for themselves, but not for women
doing the same.
Miao Zhao, Ruby Roy, Dholakia (2009) the purpose of this paper is to address
the following questions in the context of a transactional web site. How do web site
attributes influence customer satisfaction? Will an increase in the performance of a
specific attribute lead to increased satisfaction? The paper identifies several
relationships between interactive web site attributes and customer satisfaction. At
this stage of web development, no attribute emerges as a “must‐be” attribute; one ‐
dimensional or linear attributes are common but not the only category of
interactive attributes. In addition, mixed and attractive attributes were also found.
Moreover, the paper confirms that Kano categories shift over time and with usage
experience. Different web site design strategies should be used depending on users'
online experience and the various relationships between interactive web site
attributes and customer satisfaction. No previous research has yet examined
interactivity at the attribute level. Web site designers and managers have to make
decisions regarding each attribute. Adopting the Kano methodology, widely used
in other areas of research, this paper examines the relationships between attribute‐
level interactivity and customer satisfaction with a retail web site.

Lan Xia, Kent B. Monroe, (2009) the purpose of this paper is to study the effects
of consumers' pre‐purchase goals on their responses to price promotions.
Consumers with a pre‐purchase goal were found to be more attracted to the
promotion than those without a goal. More importantly, pre‐purchase goals interact
with promotion characteristics and produce differential effects on willingness to
buy. Consumers with a pre‐purchase goal are more attracted to promotions
emphasizing reduced losses while those without a goal responded more favorably
toward promotions emphasizing gains. Moreover, consumers with and without a
pre‐purchase goal respond differently to various discount levels. Existing research
on price promotions has not examined the influence of consumers' pre‐purchase
goals. This paper brings a new dimension to price promotion research.
Understanding these variations in pre‐purchase goals across consumers will help
sellers design more effective promotion programs.
Amin. P.D and Amin. (2010) made an attempt to summarize the key findings
from various research studies relating to gender based differences in case of online
purchase activities .The stronger influence of perceived case of purchasing on both
attitudes and online purchase intentions for female compared to males indicates
that online purchase intentions and attitudes are sensitive to female perception,
given a higher demand for the physical environment or a strong desire for the
sensory pleasures associated with touching a product. Finally, the gendered nature

of conventional buying emerged clearly- women prefer emotional and
psychological involvement in the online and offline purchase process; whereas
men focus on efficiency and convenience in obtaining purchase outcomes from
actual product.
Banerjee, Dutta, and Dasgupta. (2010) conducted a study on “customer`s attitude
towards online purchase”. The study revealed that among the 202 respondents,
who shopped online, 89.1%were satisfied and 96.1% satisfied customers also
intended to indulge in online purchase in the future. It could be concluded that the
availability of extensive and current information was the most important factor
which influenced Indian customers to shop online. The researcher also revealed
that there was a significant association between online purchase and monthly
family income, frequency of online usage, and time spent per session on online
usage.

CHAPTER-3
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Online purchasing of goods, both expensive and cheap, is prevalent to a much
larger extend in recent years due to convenience, speedy transactions, saving time,
attractive sales promotional offers, etc. Despite these motivational factors, there are
various transactional and non- transactional issues involved such as online users
being uncomfortable while giving their credit card number, personal information,
etc. which act as deterrents. Online purchase is new, and it is at a nascent stage,
and there are no hard-and-fast rules to live by student are slow in showing interest
in online purchase. However, the future for online purchase looks bright and
promising. Therefore, this study aims to examine the attitude of online purchaser.
