The research design adopted for the current study was descriptive in nature. The research approach followed was field study, by administering a structured questionnaire. Online survey method was adopted for data collection, so the data source is online shoppers in India.

It also disclosed that perceived value positively contributed to customer loyalty. The study results brought about the catalytic role of e-service quality and perceived value in online shopping framework. While designing websites of online supermarkets, the four pillars of electronic service quality needs to be focused on, considering their potential to promote customer loyalty to the store.Â
