Abstract

In today's world, online shopping has become a common method of purchasing goods. Online shopping allows consumers to purchase various products and services from the comfort of their homes. Gender is an important factor that can influence a consumer's buying decision. Men and women have different motivations, experiences, and concerns when it comes to shopping due to different upbringing and socialisation. This research focuses on the impact of gender on consumer buying decision process towards online shopping. The research approach is primarily based on online questionnaire survey with 105 respondents. Chi-square tests were adopted for data analysis using SPSS software. The results reveal that social media is an important source of information for male and female consumers. Also, promotions, prices, product reviews and descriptions motivate female consumers more compared to male consumers. In summary, this study shows that different factors motivate male and female Thai consumers when shopping online.
