Google launches Universal Cart shopping tool in the US

Google says Universal Cart, a tool for collecting and tracking products across Search and the Gemini app, is now available to U.S. users after a May preview at Google I/O. The cart sends alerts when a saved item's price drops or it comes back in stock, and it can factor in credit card perks and surface promo codes.

Checkout runs through Google's Universal Commerce Protocol, an open standard the company introduced earlier this year.
