Most online shoppers indicate that they visit e-retail websites on a social networking site. Previous research shows that visiting websites affect the consumer’s purchase intentions. This study identified various factors that affect consumer behaviour while shopping on social media. It further studied the services offered by social media and several factors that influence the consumer’s purchasing experience in social networking sites. Analysing 105 responses, the study revealed that factors such as price, services offered, advertising attitude, and shopping attitude have a significant impact on consumer behaviour.
