Abstract

This study investigates the application of behavioural economics principles in pricing strategies on major e commerce platforms. Using experimental design and customer data from over 15,000 online transactions, results show that anchoring, dynamic pricing, and loss aversion messaging significantly influence purchase decisions and conversion rates. The findings offer actionable guidance for digital marketers and platform strategists.
