Abstract: In today's world, the technology and internet reshaped the way products are ordered, delivered and consumed. More and more customers have internet connection thus opportunity to buy online. The products bought mostly online are mobile and IT, electronics, home and gardening equipment and fashion. On the other side of the spectrum is food. Thanks to high demands on logistics, companies entered the market in the Czech Republic gradually. One fourth of Czech customers tried buying food online and every tenth person buys groceries regularly. However, the relative turnover of online groceries to whole e-commerce market is low. Online retailers or e-retailers are therefore in constant search for understanding of consumer behaviour behind current situation. The aim of the paper is to formulate a theoretical model and formulate a hypothesis for consecutive model testing via structural equation modelling approach. The model will be suitable for online grocery shopping acceptance as a new technology in retail domain.
