Software and services that help online stores track sales, tune checkout, route payments, and stay compliant inside Google-style universal cart experiences.

Google’s Universal Cart has just launched in the US, shifting where checkouts happen and briefly putting platform control between buyers and sellers; that opening creates a narrow window for tools that measure conversion, route payments and keep merchants compliant. Amazon’s new Bee AI devices show big platforms are racing deeper into shopping and customer touchpoints.
