Online shopping have been growing very rapidly especially for last two decades and due to Covid-19 virus people prefer shopping online. It is very popular especially among young people and they tend to shop online rather than going to the shopping malls since they find it boring to walk along shopping malls. In addition, websites have many advantages and promotions and young people would like to benefit from those advantages. Therefore, it is very important for the online shopping websites to know the criteria and their weights, which affect the decisions of young people in order to manage their marketing options.

Online alışveriş son iki asırdır çok hızlı büyümekte olup Covid-19 salgını yüzünden insanlar online alışverişi tercih etmektedir. Bu özellikle genç insanlar arasında çok popülerdir ve gençler alışveriş merkezlerine gitmek yerine online alışveriş yapma eğilimi içindedir çünkü alışveriş merkezlerinde yürümeyi sıkıcı bulmaktadırlar. Buna ilave olarak, alışveriş siteleri bir çok avantaj ve promosyon içermekte ve genç insanlar bu avantajlardan yararlanmak istemektedirler. Bu nedenle, online alışveriş siteleri için gençlerin kararlarını etkileyen kriterleri ve bunların ağırlıklarını bilmeleri pazarlama stratejilerine karar vermeleri açısından önem arz etmektedir.
Bu çalışmada, literatür taranarak ve genç insanlarla görüşmeler yapılarak online alışveriş sitesi seçim kriterleri tanımlanmıştır. Toplamda 7 ana ve 23 alt kriter belirlenmiştir. İkinci adımda, bir anket hazırlanarak Ankara’da bulunan öğrencilere uygulanmıştır. Son aşamada, AHP metodu anketi değerlendirmek ve kriter ağırlıklarını bulmak için kullanılmıştır. 7 ana kriterin önem dereceleri şöyle bulunmuştur: Web sitesi kalitesi (%5,47), Ödeme Yöntemleri (%8,67), Ürün Çeşitliliği (%16,15), Ürün gönderimi ve Garanti (%31,4), Aile ve Arkadaş Etkisi (%8,26), Geçmiş Deneyim (%26,56), ve Reklamlar (%3,49). Ayrıca 23 alt kriterin ağırlıkları da bulunmuştur. Ana kriter ve alt kriter ağırlıkları öğrencilerin cinsiyet ve gelir seviyelerine göre analiz edilmiş ve karşılaştırılmıştır.
