Exploring the Factors Affecting Customers’ Online Experiences: A Case Study of the Innovative Daraz E-Commerce Platform in Pakistan
摘要
The e-commerce industry has proven to be of significant value to the customer base in Pakistan. This has especially been the case for the Pakistani platform of Daraz. However, an initial review of the literature demonstrated a dearth of literature exploring the role of online platforms in supporting businesses like Daraz in delivering a good customer experience. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate online customers’ satisfaction, their perceptions about the e-commerce platform, and their experiences to provide a comprehensive understanding based on the Daraz e-commerce in Pakistan. This led to the research undertaking a survey questionnaire with a sample of 100 where the sample was finalised via random sampling. The data was analysed via SPSS. The findings highlighted a majority of participants trusted Daraz in terms of security, a majority gave positive feedback on the Daraz website, and a majority indicated having a positive experience in using the Daraz website/app. These findings demonstrated an overall positive outlook amongst the participants regarding Daraz in terms of security, reliability and ease of use. Practical and Police based implications from the findings are discussed at the end of this paper.
