Shopping, saving and sharing on the Google Commerce Blog

Today we’re launching the Google Commerce Blog to bring you news, trends and ideas about shopping, retailing and payments from across Google and beyond.

Google commerce products help buyers easily find the things they're looking for no matter where they are. They also help retailers attract and retain customers. For example, retailers can list their items for free in Google Product Search and reach buyers right when they’re searching for that product. Google Shopper, Google Maps, Google Places and Boutiques.com aim to make savvy shopping easier and faster. And with Google Checkout, you can buy online quickly, safely and conveniently.

Commerce isn’t just about physical goods. Content providers like newspaper, book and magazine publishers and game developers can also sell their digital wares with a single sign-on using Google One Pass, In-App Payments or Google eBooks. Readers and players can access their paid content from any device, on the desktop, tablet, or mobile phones because it is stored in the cloud.

To share updates about these products and more, and to help developers better monetize their businesses, we recently hosted the first Commerce track at Google I/O featuring sessions from five commerce product areas. We want to keep that conversation going, and give you a window into what's new year-round.

Follow this blog for ways to make shopping, buying and selling in-the-cloud and on-the-go better.
