ABSTRACT:
The primary objective of this study is to analyze the impact of website quality and Google Ads on repurchase interest in Bukalapak, with e-trust serving as a mediating variable. The sample consists of 105 Bukalapak users aged 17 and above who have made purchase transactions. The findings reveal that website quality does not significantly influence e-trust or repurchase interest, whereas Google Ads positively affect both e-trust and repurchase interest. Additionally, e-trust mediates the relationship between website qualities, Google Ads, and repurchase interest. This study offers managerial insights for online shopping platforms to enhance consumer retention strategies.
KEYWORDS:
Website quality, Google Ads, e-trust, repurchase interest, Bukalapak
