Extended AbstractAbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the perceived effectiveness of e-commerce platforms on the perceived economic advantage of the consumer in predicting sustainable consumption in an epidemic. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlative in terms of nature and method of data collection; And is specifically based on structural equation modeling. Quantitative research data were used as a distance scale using the standard Research Questionnaire of Lobel Trong Tovi (2021). The statistical population of the present study is all customers of online shopping of e-commerce platforms in Iran. Due to the large number of users and the number of more than 10 active platforms in Iran, and due to the large number of the target community, 100,000 people have been considered. According to Morgan''s table, 384 people were selected as a sample in this study. The sampling method in this study was simple random. The results show that the effect of the perceived effectiveness of e-commerce platforms on the perceived economic advantage of the consumer in predicting sustainable consumption is equal to 0.47, i.e. about 47% of the total perceived effectiveness of e-commerce platforms on the perceived economic advantage of the consumer in predicting sustainable consumption is explained. The GoF criterion was also used to evaluate the overall fit of the model and the measurement for the structural model. Results of average shared values and average values of R Squares shows that the value of GOF is equal to 0.62 which indicates a strong fit of the model.IntroductionWith the increasing growth of the Internet and related technologies, the concept of brand has changed, thus today the value of online brands has grown significantly. The most important factor influencing the success of online brands is the frequent interaction of users with the brand, which achieves as a result of having a positive consume experience from that online brand.
