Abstract

The convenience of online shopping is an attractive benefit for customers. At the same time, online purchase process is often complicated. As a result, some customers have difficulty with or even fail to complete the process. This article presents a tool for detailed monitoring users’ interaction with shopping websites. Data collected can be used for many purposes, including interface and content adaptation. By means of personalization, a website can automatically adapt to suit the needs of a particular user, thus vastly improving human media interaction and its efficiency. In this article the human-website interaction monitoring tool ECPM is presented and sample results based on selected B2C stores are discussed.
