Google Universal Cart Launches for US Shoppers

Google has launched Universal Cart in the US, a tool that lets users save and track products found across Google Search and the Gemini app. First previewed at Google I/O in May, it aggregates items from multiple retailers into one hub. The cart sends price-drop and restock notifications, surfaces promo codes, and factors in credit card perks at checkout. Checkout runs on Google's Universal Commerce Protocol, an open standard for AI-retailer integration. The tool joins other Google shopping features, as Amazon, OpenAI, and others also expand AI-driven e-commerce capabilities.
