The research aims to find out what factors help in strengthening the trust in the process of shopping through digital online mediums. From the population, a sample of girl students studying management courses were taken along with Baby Boomers, Gen-X and Gen-Y respondents. They were then assessed by asking them to find out the factors because of which, they have developed some level of ‘trust’ based on the e-commerce sites. A total of twenty online shopping websites were given to them to analyze the factors that led to building of trust in the purchase process and transactions made by them. The aim of this research is to provide insight into fundamental processes that are related to digital buying.
