We have noticed how e-commerce retailing has progressively gained acceptance in recent years, with a rising number of consumers opting to make transactions through this platform. In light of the emerging internet penetration rate and the advancement of e-commerce in Indonesia, the e-commerce players are being compelled to structure their best strategies for engaging tech-savvy consumers and satisfying their constantly evolving habits. Gamification is one of several tactics that is gaining popularity in e-commerce since it may offer more social functionalities, a personalised shopping experience, and easier access to different products. The implementation of gamified, playful, and social components diminishes the cognitive efforts of consumers, indicating this might be a favourable position or advantage for the retailers to excel. This study aims to analyse how Shopee as retail e-commerce can optimally structure its gamification and several intrinsic motivations to stimulate users’ enjoyment and purchasing behaviour. This study further contributes to filling the research gap by adding the indicator of impulsive buying behaviour. Purposive sampling methods were used to successfully compile 204 respondents, who were then analysed using the Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modelling method (PLS-SEM). The findings validated that gamification and intrinsic motivations are found to positively influence and motivate customers to increase their shopping engagement. Socialness and shopping enjoyment are found to positively influence individuals’ impulsive buying behaviour. Whereby, shopping engagement positively influences the intention to buy using a mobile app. Additionally, previous online shopping experience positively influences the intention to buy using a mobile app. Finally, previous online shopping experiences negatively moderate the relationship between shopping engagement on intention to buy using a mobile app.
