The next part of the paper describes the methodology of the study, which presents the principles of qualitative content analysis used in the study and discusses the procedure of the empirical research conducted. An in-depth interview technique was used, which was conducted with a sample of 12 Polish consumers. The empirical part presents the respondents' perceived advantages and disadvantages of online and offline channels, their preferred forms of payment and the groups of products purchased in each channel. The final part of the study includes a summary, which embraces conclusions and implications for retail businesses resulting from the identification of shopping behaviour, as well as limitations of this research.
