Introduction
platforms have created a significant shift in consumer behavior and purchasing habits.
The growth of e-commerce platforms in recent years has transformed the way
consumers make purchases by providing them with a more convenient and accessible
avenue. One of the leading e-commerce platforms in the Philippines and other countries
is Shopee, which has gained immense popularity among consumers of all age groups,
including senior high school students. With Shopee's user-friendly interface and diverse
product offerings, consumers can easily browse, compare, and purchase products from
the comfort of their homes, without the need to physically visit stores. This convenience
factor has contributed significantly to the rise of Shopee's popularity among consumers,
especially in the younger age groups who are often more tech-savvy and prefer online
shopping.
shopping site that also provides a classic web experience. It is a Southeast Asian-focused
platform that blends payment and logistical support with the integrity of a customer-to-
customer (C2C) marketplace. In fact, Shopee is a popular name on the list of top e-
Asia. It sells a range of goods, from groceries to electronics, and has an adequate monthly
their ease of accessibility, which reduces the time spent on shopping, as noted by Jiang et
al. (2013: 192). Likewise, customers benefit significantly from online shopping,
including avoiding crowded physical stores, not waiting in cashier queues, and having the
freedom to shop whenever and whatever they want (Jiang et al., 2013: 206). Despite the
convenience and accessibility that Shopee offers, students' purchase intentions on the
specifically focusing on the rapid growth of Shopee in the Philippines. Bulacan et al.
(2022) addressed this gap in their research by examining how four factors - price, time,
trust, and convenience - impact consumers' online shopping behavior on Shopee. With
Afrianto and Irwansyah (2021) stated that Shopee, which operates in Southeast
and Thailand, is the initial online marketplace to offer free, secure, and enjoyable online
buying and selling transactions. The primary product categories on Shopee are fashion
and home goods. In 2020, the community showed a significant interest in and relied on
interest in buying the item. The level of interest is determined by the perceived benefits
and pleasure that the product offers, which then motivates the individual to acquire the
item by paying for it or exchanging it for money. According to Salfiana and Gusri (2018),
intention that characterizes the actions of consumers who have a strong preference for
specific products, and exploratory intention that describes the actions of consumers who
seek information about a product they are interested in. While determining whether to
buy a product or service, people take price into serious consideration. Online shoppers
frequently invest time in studying discounts offered by online retailers and other sales
incentives like coupons, freebies, free delivery certificates, and other vouchers that may
be redeemed and used during the checkout process. Customers are particularly impacted
by flash sale discounts or events that put time pressure on potential customers, forcing
acknowledgment of certain actions taken. Chao and Liao's (2016) study proposes three
indicators: Firstly, offering affordable pricing, which enables customers to save money
such as the ability to make cheap purchases. Lastly, offering customers something of
value to highlight the worth of the goods and services provided by the business and to
Yang et al. (2016) state that online reviews serve as a crucial source of
information that assists online customers in evaluating the quality of products and
services. One of the primary purposes of these reviews is to reduce the risk and
at home after finishing all of their household chores. When they receive an email with a
good offer, they are drawn to it and might make a purchase. Paid search advertising will
be more effective for men purchasing online. While consumers discover products, an
enhanced Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will effortlessly list the items and websites,
while pop-up ads will take care of the necessary tasks while they browse generally.
Men and women have different product preferences, and they approach fulfilling those
preferences in various ways. Although gender roles have become more ambiguous and
product categories, many goods and services are still inherently intended for either men
The primary purpose of this research is to explore and analyze the various factors
that influence the purchase intention of men and women on Shopee, a popular e-
commerce platform. The study aims to identify the differences between the two genders
in terms of their attitudes, preferences, and perceptions towards online shopping. The
findings of this research will help e-commerce companies, marketers, and retailers to
develop targeted marketing strategies that can effectively engage their male and female
consumers.
It also aims to examine the impact of different factors on the purchase intent of
men and women on Shopee. Some of the factors that will be considered in this study
include product quality, price, brand reputation, delivery time, convenience, and online
security. By analyzing the influence of these factors on the purchase intent of men and
women, the study will provide insights into the specific needs and expectations of each
gender. These findings can help e-commerce companies to improve their offerings and

significant and positive, but for females, it is insignificant. Similarly, females have a
significant and positive influence on the amount paid, whereas males do not. According
to the authors, males have more product knowledge, which influences product gratitude
and purchase. Females, on the other hand, are influenced by social aspects related to
obligation. Other research indicates that gender has no influence on the relationships
