Abstract—Understanding the factors that influence consumers to buy impulsively in an online context has become increasingly important to businesses nowadays in order to help them stay competitive in the intensively competitive e-commerce market. Though existing literature has demonstrated how a website can improve the shopping experience and influence online shoppers to buy impulsively, the focus is more on design and quality dimensions such as visual appeal, website navigability, ease of use, etc. A more detailed analysis of how the advanced technology-supported website stimuli like recommender system, information search, customer services, and privacy & data security influence the consumer shopping experience and impulse buying behavior is still needed. Based on a Stimulus-Organism-Response model’s conceptual framework and 403 valid respondents collected via an online questionnaire, this study aims to identify and explore the influence of advanced technology-supported website stimuli on customer satisfaction and online impulse buying behavior in the Malaysian context. The results showed that the recommender system, information search, and customer service had a significant influence on customer satisfaction, and the latter significantly impacted online impulse buying behavior.

Keywords—customer satisfaction, online impulse buying, website stimuli
