Adopting a green lifestyle by living a healthy life has the consequence of purchasing more expensive green products. This study aimed to explore the factors affecting consumers’ willingness to pay more for green convenience products. This willingness can be influenced by consumers’ attitudes, green lifestyles, and purchase intention. The respondents were 225 individuals who had purchased green products from bulk stores in Bandung and Jakarta. The data were obtained through online surveys, specifically distributing G-form. The majority of respondents are women at 78.7% and 39.1% were aged between 26-35 years. Subsequently, the samples were collected using cluster random sampling, which included selecting groups or areas to be sampled, and the data were processed using SEM-LISREL. The results showed that green lifestyles influenced willingness to pay more for convenience goods, while attitudes were only indirectly influenced. The intention to make a purchase was a significant predictor of how much consumers were willing to pay more. The majority of respondents are willing to pay around 10-25% more for green products. Simultaneously, attitudes and green lifestyles had a significant influence, with purchase intention as a mediator. These results can be used to develop green convenience product marketing strategies at bulk stores in Indonesia by providing confidence in product attributes that encourage consumers to pay a premium price.
