Abstract (ENG): This study investigates how ethical aspects, safe technology, and customer-friendly technologies influence the customer experience in smart stores. Smart stores are unmanned retail stores that integrate smart technologies and services. An empirical model was proposed and validated using exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis, with n = 402 participants. The results demonstrate that all three constructs have a positive influence on the customer experience in smart stores. However, the results also suggest that store-based interactions (e. g. seamless access and a safe environment) have a stronger influence than product-based interactions. The results highlight the need for retailers to prioritise smart technologies that visibly enhance safety, usability, and ethical transparency. These insights support the development of smart stores that foster customer trust, improve interaction quality, and strengthen long-term customer relationships.
