Abstract: Customers switching from competitive brand to another company's brand is usually due to the efforts of the company. Similarly inducing the customers to repurchase the company's brands time and again is very important in their marketing activities.

The purpose of the study to examine and analyse the interlinking relationships among customer satisfaction, loyalty and switching intent in online retailing and purchases made using multi-channels. The research also verifies the moderating effect of customer variety-seeking orientation across channels and purchase decision involvement.
