It is, therefore, interesting to build brand and store loyalty for Internet-based electronic stores. The customer loyalty on the Internet is called e-loyalty. Although scholars have paid attentions to the factors that may affect e-loyalty, most of them focus on a certain aspect of e-loyalty. There is a need to put together an integrated framework of e-loyalty. In this study, previous literature related to the topic is reviewed to propose a framework of four influential factors. They are web design, customer service, e-trust and brand building. In order to understand whether different kinds of e-stores would affect the power of different factors, the study uses “store type” as a moderating variable. An empirial study was conducted to test our model. The results show that major factor that impacts e-satisfaction is e-trust. Web design ranked second; customer service and brand building were the third and the forth, respectively. The effects of four influential factors differ for the different types of e-stores, which indicates the moderating effect of stoer types.
