Abstract: Abstract Covid-19 pandemic has strictly affected the real economy, with the strategy of lockdown. Most people turn to online shopping during the lockdown, which largely developed the digital economy. This essay reviews papers about consumers’ online shopping behaviors during and after the pandemic in different countries. Since most people shopped online during the serious duration of the Covid-19 pandemic, they are still using this shopping method even after the lockdown because they were getting used to the convenience of online shopping. People are shopping online for several reasons, the main reasons are fear of being infected, necessities, and the willingness to purchase. Moreover, there are a few factors that can affect people’s decisions about online shopping, the main factors are age or generations, lockdown strategies, and the awareness of Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, we can predict that the future trend of shopping method would be online shopping, not only for goods, but also groceries and essentials.
