Through the investigation of 548 e-commerce platform consumers, the empirical study finds that personalized intelligent recommendation and its related dimensions (information presentation, system interaction and community influence) positively affect consumers’ online impulse purchase intention. Flow experience and perceived practical value mediate the positive relationship between personalized intelligent recommendation and consumers’ online impulse purchase intention. The quality of online reviews plays a moderating role in the impact of personalized intelligent recommendation on consumers’ online impulse purchase intention. The higher the quality of online reviews, the stronger the positive impact of personalized intelligent recommendation on consumers’ impulse purchase intention.
