Universal Cart

Google has launched Universal Cart in the US, a shared shopping cart that saves products from multiple retailers across Google Search AI Mode and the Gemini app.

Universal Cart was previewed at Google I/O in May and is now rolling out to US users. Saved items sync across Search and Gemini, with price drop and restock notifications, promo codes, and help choosing the best credit card using Google Wallet. Checkout is tied to Google's Universal Commerce Protocol, and users can pay through Google Wallet or move items to the merchant's own cart.
