The study's primary purpose is to reveal the factors building trust. The relationship between the websites’ having a live-chat (chatbot)/correspondence (WhatsApp) module, whether they respond to e-mails and the trust of users in the website were examined through a total of 1648 tests of 10 different websites. According to the results, the fact that an online shopping site responds to e-mails positively affects users’ trust in that site and, therefore, their repurchase intention from the site again and recommendation it to others. However, having a chatbot does not significantly affect the trust in the website. Also, the opinions of the users were revealed after the qualitative assessment of the open-ended questions asked to the participants in the survey.
