Users of Square for Retail will be able to showcase their products alongside items from other ecommerce stores, helping smaller, independent sellers to find new customers online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Items from the sellers\u2019 product lines can be added to Google Search, Shopping, Images, Maps and YouTube. Consumers will be able to click the listings to go directly to the merchant\u2019s store to make the purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to help sellers reach new customers,\u201d Alyssa Henry, executive vice president, Square, said in <a href=\"https:\/\/squareup.com\/us\/en\/press\/rtl-google-integration\">the announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnline sales have been a significant revenue driver for sellers of all types and sizes over the past year. We\u2019re looking forward to partnering with Google to unlock even more opportunities for retailers as they look toward the future and begin to rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify also recently <a href=\"https:\/\/news.shopify.com\/from-discovery-to-checkout-shopify-and-google-deepen-commerce-collaboration\">announced<\/a> the latest development in its own ongoing relationship with Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shop Pay, the company\u2019s online checkout product, will expand to all of its merchants who are selling on Google, the company said. Merchants who use Google\u2019s native checkout flow, Buy on Google, will be able to provide Shop Pay as a checkout option later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been partners with Google since 2012, and this expansion of our partnership is yet another reinforcement of Shopify and Google\u2019s shared vision of commerce\u2014that by putting the merchant first, everyone wins,\u201d Kaz Nejatian, VP of merchant services for Shopify, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShop Pay is a great example of how we\u2019re doing that. It\u2019s 70% faster than a typical checkout, and that means fewer abandoned carts for merchants, and a stellar checkout experience for consumers. Shop Pay has helped consumers track nearly half a billion orders, and we\u2019re excited to bring that functionality to merchants and consumers on Google.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These announcements come on the heels of other partnerships with payment companies for Google. At its developer conference, Google announced that Shopify merchants would be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/technology\/google-expands-partnership-with-shopify-as-part-of-mission-to-democratize-e-commerce\/\">highlight their products<\/a> across its properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And earlier, the company announced a <a href=\"https:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/technology\/pf-lightspeed-partners-with-google-to-help-retailers-reach-local-customers\/\">new collaboration<\/a> with PF Lightspeed that would enable that company\u2019s merchants to better manage their online presence, including through local inventory ads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech giant Google is continuing a flurry of ecommerce-related deals, most recently announcing partnerships with both Square and Shopify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1014],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5188"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7911,"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5188\/revisions\/7911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/infinicept.com\/payment-facilitator\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
