available to provide it. This Research uses Multiple Regression Analysis as measurement
tool.
The researches resulted in regression as follows:
Y=1.517+0.115X1+0.180X2+0.113X3+0.760X4-0.869X5. Based on statistical
data analysis, the indicators in this research are valid and the variables are reliable. On
classic assumption test, the regression model is free of multicollinearity,
heteroscedasticity was not occurred, and is normally distributed. Simultaneously, the
variables Perceived Usefulness (X1), Perceived Ease of Use (X2), Social Influence (X3),
Trust (X4), and Perceived Cost (X5) have influence toward Intention to Use (Y) on mcommerce
in Indonesia. While partially, Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use,
Trust and Perceived Cost are significantly influential toward Intention to Use m-
Commerce. Social Influence however is not significantly influential toward Intention to
Use. Line Shopping need to maintain the elements that are already considered good by its
users and improve the elements that are considered not good enough.

that the influence of Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Social Influence,
Trust, and Perceived Cost toward intention to Use on m-commerce in Indonesia 69,3%,
while the rest 30,7% were influenced by unobserved factors. As for suggestions proposed
by the researcher, LINE shopping need to keep up their work and improving by doing
