Abstract

The study aimed to examine the effects of online shopping trends on the purchasing behavior of
Bachelor of Science in Accountancy students, employing a survey-based research method to
investigate their preferences, spending habits, and decision-making factors. Data were gathered
from student respondents regarding their shopping frequency, preferred platforms, influencing
factors, and payment methods. Results indicated that online shopping is highly prevalent among
students, with Shopee being the most preferred platform. Key factors influencing purchases
included convenience, price, product reviews, shipping costs, and sale promotions. Cash on
Delivery (COD) was the preferred payment method, while concerns about product quality and
shipping costs were notable disadvantages. The study concludes that students generally express
a positive level of satisfaction with online shopping, offering insights for startups, buyers,
sellers, and future researchers in understanding student purchasing behavior.
