Summary:The goal of the study is to analyze social networking related factors influencing consumers’ trust and intent to purchase online via social networks in the Vietnamese market. The model of social commerce adoption of Hajli (2015) is used as the primary research framework to analyze the factors affecting Vietnamese consumers’ trust when purchasing goods through Social Networks [1].

In addition, this study also proved that perceived usefulness had both a direct and indirect impact on consumers’ online purchasing intention through trust.
