Abstract. The purpose of this research is to analyze the transformation of customer behavior
from conventional to digital, where services, nowadays, have been systematically integrated
into a website or an application. e-commerce, which is a new business power, has transformed

answers of the respondents. The method of the data collection used the questionnaires which
were distributed to 200 respondents, while the technique of the data analysis used the
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
The results of this research proved that the good service quality could increase the customers'
satisfaction and trust, but the good service quality failed to encourage the customers to
exchange information through the online media. Moreover, the results of this research also
proved that the customers who had trust would exchange information, but the customers who

in online media through a website or an application.
