Google confirms a buy button is coming to mobile search results

[Guest]

Google's buy buttons are coming to mobile search within the next few weeks, the company announced at a New York City event today. Business Insider reports that the new feature, which lets you order items directly through sponsored results on Google Search from your smartphone, is called Purchases on Google. Your payment information is stored directly with Google, and the company also hosts the checkout pages that come up whenever you tap on a product ad.

 

 

This is pretty cool tbh.

You say this as though you'd like to have slow online purchasing.

I'm all for faster ways to make online purchases, and I like the idea of an (supposedly) independent company as the go between.

 

However I prefer more information and less ways to get caught out buying something that (may not technically be misrepresented) is not exactly what it appears from limited search result description.
