Design/methodology/approach – A Cross-sectional descriptive study using snowball sampling for selecting the samples from online shopping users of 11 districts of Central U.P. The schedule and Web-based structured questionnaire have been used for collecting the data. The factor analysis is performed for identifying the factors, the multiple regression analysis is used for creating a regression line.

Findings – The study results recommend that consumers’ online shopping behavior is being affected by several factors like social influence, self-efficacy, perceived credibility, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, website design, social media, and delivery of goods.

Research limitations/implications – The study results can be generalized to the online shopping users of the selected districts of central U.P. only. In future studies, more statistical techniques might be applied for improving the conclusiveness of the findings reported in the study.
