Abstract: There is a lot of potential for expansion for the e-commerce business, but only if we can figure out what makes people buy online. Findings from this study shed light on the e-commerce decision-making process and the ways in which cultural, social, individual, and environmental elements influence it, with a focus on the Chinese market. We surveyed a total of 150 people in Shanghai and 100 people in Dhaka, Bangladesh, using questionnaires. The findings highlight two obstacles that have a negative effect on the online retail industry and customer choice when purchasing goods online. The study compares Taobao and Daraz, focusing on their respective operational systems, market positioning, and distinctions. The study also looks ahead to potential trends and suggests ways businesses might change their business models and create consumer and retailer regulations. Businesses that are just starting out in the e-commerce space can greatly benefit from these insights. The results demonstrate the importance of understanding the elements that influence customer choices and online purchasing behavior.
