Google announces 'Universal Cart,' a shopping hub that works across multiple services and stores, enabling AI agents to complete online shopping on behalf of humans with UCP support

Google unveiled Universal Cart, an AI shopping hub that gathers products from Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail into one place.

The cart can track prices and inventory, recommend compatible items, and streamline shopping across participating merchants.

Checkout is supported through the Universal Commerce Protocol, using Google Pay or merchant sites.

The move signals Google’s push toward agentic commerce, where AI handles more of the discovery-to-purchase journey.
