Abstract

Now a day we use online platforms for everything in our daily life. Using shopping online via mobile application and shopping via online website become a typical procedure in our daily life. People like to do shopping online, but we still did not know the different between shopping via mobile apps and website adoption in term of access convenience and search convenience. This study aimed to investigate the different between shopping via mobile apps and website adoption in term of access convenience and search convenience. This study used a sample of 143 participant to measure the adoption of shopping online via both website and mobile shopping. The collected data analyzed using SPSS. The results show that mobile apps is more adopted in term of accessibility but website shopping is more adopted in term searchability. This study did not find significant difference it term of total adoption of both website and mobile shopping. The future researchers could focus in measuring the difference in term of usability and security which we assume could bring a valid result.
