Google has launched Universal Cart for US users, a tool first previewed at Google I/O in May. It lets shoppers collect and monitor products found across Search and the Gemini app, acting as a central hub for items from multiple retailers.
According to TechCrunch, the cart preserves shopping progress and can send notifications when a saved product's price drops or an out-of-stock item returns. It can also factor in credit card perks and surface promo codes at checkout, which is tied to Google's Universal Commerce Protocol.
ZDNET also covers the launch, framing it as one of two new shopping tools Google unveiled ahead of the holiday season. That timing and the mention of price tracking align with TechCrunch's reporting, though ZDNET's brief preview doesn't detail the other tool or the additional tricks its headline references.
