Google Shopping checkout links reach six more countries

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Emmanuel Flossie has flagged that Google Shopping checkout links are now available in Indonesia, France, Mexico, Argentina, Israel, and Australia. The links send ready-to-buy shoppers straight to your cart or checkout on mobile and tablet devices, rather than to the product page.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means retailers in these markets can shorten the path to purchase, so add a checkout link template if you sell there.

Google brings shopping checkout buttons back to Search via UCP

Google has rolled out shopping checkout buttons in Google Search results: the first native checkout shopping experience in Search since the original "Buy on Google" surface was killed in 2023. Juozas Kaziukėnas has flagged the launch and traced its mechanics: the checkout flow is powered by Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), the same payment infrastructure that has been running in Gemini and AI Mode for the past two months.

Shopping ads move inline inside Google AI Mode answers

SERP Alert observed a Shopping ad carousel placed directly within the body of a Google AI Mode response, with another sponsored unit appearing at the bottom of the answer. The sighting indicates a new presentation test rather than a confirmed universal rollout.
