Abstract: This research examines the factors that impact consumer purchasing behaviour on Ghanaian online shopping platforms. Using a sample of 551 participants, the study employs quantitative methods and a survey questionnaire, which are analysed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The measurement scale used in this study, with a reliability score of 0.769, is considered reliable for evaluating the trustworthiness of online sellers. The research identifies crucial elements that influence consumer behaviour in Ghana's online shopping market, highlighting the significance of trust, communication, payment security, delivery efficiency, social support, and technological advancements. The results suggest that online sellers in Ghana should focus on building trust and enhancing customer experiences to stimulate purchasing behaviour, thereby staying competitive and achieving growth in the Ghanaian online business environment.
