Hundreds of studies have attempted to define, measure, or otherwise explain how website visitors think, feel, and behave during and after visits to transaction-oriented business-to-consumer retail websites. This article reviews the predominant endpoints described in the peer-reviewed literature over the past decade for user-website interactions with e-tail websites. Results suggest that although scores of user-website interaction outcomes have been reported in the peer-reviewed literature, most of those endpoints represent one of ten high-level user-website interaction outcomes (confirmation/disconfirmation, trust, perceived risk, engagement, purchase intentions, actual purchase behavior, satisfaction, repeat website visit intention or behavior, repeat purchase intention or behavior) either directly or indirectly. This article provides a new information technology systems-based taxonomy for relevant outcomes to define website outcomes, identifies their common characteristics, and summarizes the relationships so far reported in the peer-reviewed literature.
