User reviews and delivery speed also play a significant role in the decision-making process. Practical Implications: The results obtained have significant implications for companies offering organic products online, helping them to better adapt their marketing and operational strategies. Understanding consumer preferences can help increase sales and customer loyalty. Originality/Value: The article provides an original analysis of the determinants of consumers' purchasing decisions in the context of organic products sold online, which is an important contribution to the development of knowledge on sustainable consumption and e-commerce.
