In an era of technological progress, exploring the nexus between technology and religious practices, especially concerning Sharia e-commerce platforms, holds paramount importance. The study aims to investigate how religiosity impacts the awareness and development of Sharia e-commerce in Indonesia. This survey encompassed 714 Muslim respondents from diverse demographics in Indonesia, the biggest Muslim country. The data analysis employed descriptive statistics. The survey found that more than 90% of respondents identified as smartphone users and used digital wallets for online shopping. The survey highlighted a striking discrepancy between recognizing technology’s potential in supporting religious practices and actively engaging with Sharia-compliant e-commerce platforms. Therefore, the religiosity seems to be mattered in cognition and awareness, but it does not matter to customers’ preferences on using Sharia e-commerce platforms. Integrating Sharia products into conventional e-commerce platforms is better compared to developing Sharia e-commerce platforms exclusively. The integration of the current e-commerce players with halal-certified brands, religious institutions, or community organizations can strengthen the visibility and credibility of Sharia values in e-commerce.

摘要

In an era of technological progress, exploring the nexus between technology and religious practices, especially concerning Sharia e-commerce platforms, holds paramount importance. The study aims to investigate how religiosity impacts the awareness and development of Sharia e-commerce in Indonesia. This survey encompassed 714 Muslim respondents from diverse demographics in Indonesia, the biggest Muslim country. The data analysis employed descriptive statistics. The survey found that more than 90% of respondents identified as smartphone users and used digital wallets for online shopping. The survey highlighted a striking discrepancy between recognizing technology’s potential in supporting religious practices and actively engaging with Sharia-compliant e-commerce platforms. Therefore, the religiosity seems to be mattered in cognition and awareness, but it does not matter to customers’ preferences on using Sharia e-commerce platforms. Integrating Sharia products into conventional e-commerce platforms is better compared to developing Sharia e-commerce platforms exclusively. The integration of the current e-commerce players with halal-certified brands, religious institutions, or community organizations can strengthen the visibility and credibility of Sharia values in e-commerce.
