Google launches Universal Cart
Google said Thursday that Universal Cart, a tool letting users collect and monitor products across search and Gemini, is now available to US users.
How Universal Cart works
Users find items they like, save them to their cart, and return later to find their items and shopping progress still there without hunting down products again.
Multiple retailers in one place
Universal Cart collects items from multiple retailers, turning it into a central hub for browsing and keeping track of potential purchases across different stores.
Price tracking and notifications
The tool can send notifications when a saved product's price drops or when an out-of-stock item becomes available again, helping shoppers stay on top of deals.
Smarter checkout features
Google says Universal Cart can take credit card perks into account when helping users choose payment methods and surface relevant promo codes during checkout.
Part of Google's AI shopping push
Universal Cart joins other AI-powered shopping features like conversational product discovery in Search's AI Mode and Google's Let Google Call tool for checking store inventory.
The bottom line
Google launched Universal Cart in the US on Thursday, a shopping tool that collects items from multiple retailers and tracks prices and availability across search and Gemini.
