This study aims to determine the influence of psychological factors—specifically motivation, trust, and attitude—on the repurchase decisions of beauty products among students of the Faculty of Economics at KH. A. Wahab Hasbullah University (UNWAHA), Jombang. The research focuses on Oriflame beauty products purchased through the Shopee e-commerce platform, as these products are widely used by students for personal care and beauty needs.

The population in this study consists of students from the Faculty of Economics at UNWAHA who have previously purchased Oriflame products. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 26 software. The analysis includes validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing through partial (t-test) and simultaneous (F-test) analyses. The results of the F-test indicate that motivation, trust, and attitude simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on students' repurchase decisions. This suggests that psychological factors play an important role in influencing consumer behavior, particularly in the context of online beauty product purchases. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of consumer behavior among young adults in the digital marketplace and provide valuable insights for marketers and beauty product companies to develop targeted strategies that strengthen consumer motivation, build trust, and foster positive attitudes toward products. These elements are crucial in enhancing customer loyalty and increasing repurchase rates in competitive e-commerce environments.

This study aims to examine the influence of independent variables—Social Media, Pricing, and Promotion—on the dependent variable, Repurchase Decision, at Kedai Kopi Bersahaja. A quantitative research method was employed, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS 25 software. The population of the study consisted of 226 consumers, and a sample of 107 respondents was selected using incidental sampling techniques.

Among the three, Social Media showed the most dominant influence, emphasizing the growing role of digital presence and online engagement in shaping consumer preferences and purchasing patterns. Based on these findings, it is recommended that Kedai Kopi Bersahaja maximize the use of social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook by creating engaging, relevant, and interactive content that resonates with the target audience.

The synergy between these three marketing factors—if consistently and strategically applied—is expected to enhance customer loyalty, strengthen brand image, and significantly increase the likelihood of repurchase decisions. These efforts are essential for building sustainable business growth in the competitive food and beverage industry.

The digital revolution has transformed retail industry into a new era full of opportunities through e-commerce but also presenting challenges in online furniture sales. Due to their inability to precisely measure and see furniture in their spaces, many customers are hesitant to make purchases.

WebAR solves these issues by delivering AR features directly on mobile browsers without requiring additional apps. This study investigates the impact of WebAR innovation on e-commerce furniture by examining the roles of interactivity (IN), vividness (VI), augmentation (AU), customization (CT), and ease of access (EA) on purchase intention (PI), mediated by spatial presence (SP), decision comfort (DC), and satisfaction (SF). Using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model, data from 100 respondents were analyzed with the PLS-SEM algorithm using SmartPLS 4.0. The findings tell us that WebAR significantly enhances consumers’s shopping experience and ultimately boosts purchase intention.
