Google Universal Cart Launches in Search & Gemini – Direct Checkout for Local Stores
Google’s Universal Cart is now live across Search and the Gemini app, letting shoppers add items to a Google‑hosted cart and complete checkout without leaving Google or be handed off to the merchant site. For local retailers this creates a new, frictionless purchase path that can boost conversion directly from search results.
Enable Universal Cart today: verify your Google Business Profile, upload a compliant product feed in Merchant Center, and toggle the ‘In‑Cart Checkout’ option. Test with a single best‑selling item and monitor the new ‘Cart‑origin sales’ report; adjust pricing or inventory based on conversion data within the first two weeks.
