Abstract: This article sought to create a theoretical model for trust and its antecedents, and purchase intention on social commerce websites in Brazil. The antecedents investigated were privacy, safety, proximity, familiarity, and habit of using the website. For this, we collected data from 350 Brazilian participants who use Facebook for purchases. Privacy, safety, familiarity, and the habit of using the website positively influence trust in the Brazilian social commerce website, while proximity does not have a positive influence on it. Trust was positively influenced by the purchase intention. International and Brazilian website administrators who wish to enter the Brazilian market can use the results of this paper to win consumer trust regarding their websites and thereby sell their products and/or services.
