The rapid development of digital technology has encouraged UMKM to adopt digital platforms to improve business performance; however, differences in digital literacy and perceptions of technology ease remain important challenges.

The results show that digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on UMKM decisions to use digital platforms. Technology ease also has a positive and significant effect on the decision to adopt digital platforms. Simultaneously, digital literacy and technology ease significantly influence UMKM decisions in utilizing digital platforms. These findings indicate that improving digital skills and ensuring user-friendly technology are essential factors in accelerating the digital transformation of UMKM. The results of this study are expected to provide practical insights for policymakers and stakeholders in designing strategies to support UMKM digitalization at the local level.]]>
