About
Universal Cart is a Google shopping feature that, as described by creators, works as a single cart across different merchants. It reportedly flags the lowest prices and items that are incompatible with each other, and lets AI agents complete checkout on the user's behalf.
Agent checkout relies on the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), an open protocol Google announced for letting AI agents make payments with verifiable user authorization. Details of Universal Cart's exact scope, supported merchants and payment methods are not confirmed here, since no official page could be fetched.
Access is presumably through Google's consumer shopping and assistant surfaces. Rollout regions and availability beyond what creators described are not documented in the material provided.

- Single cart across multiple merchants
