Perplexity AI Launches Perplexity Shopping

Perplexity AI has introduced Perplexity Shopping, an AI-powered shopping assistant that combines product discovery, research, and purchasing into a single platform. The new features, aimed at simplifying online shopping, mark a significant advancement in the AI-driven commerce experience.

Seamless One-Click Checkout

Perplexity Pro users in the U.S. can now enjoy a one-click checkout experience for select products. The Buy with Pro feature allows users to save their billing and shipping information securely for quick purchases directly on Perplexity’s website or app. Additionally, all Buy with Pro orders come with free shipping, adding extra convenience for users. For items without direct checkout support, Perplexity redirects users to the merchant’s website to complete the purchase.

Snap to Shop

The new Snap to Shop tool enables users to find products by simply uploading a photo of the item they’re looking for. This feature is ideal for situations where users don’t know the name or description of a product but need to locate something similar or identical.

Objective Product Recommendations

When users ask shopping-related queries, Perplexity provides unbiased product recommendations presented in a clean, visual format. These recommendations, powered by integrations with platforms like Shopify, are tailored to users’ searches and based on product quality and relevance. Importantly, the product cards are not sponsored, maintaining objectivity and trust.

Effortless Product Comparisons

Perplexity Shopping eliminates the need for users to sift through endless reviews by providing clear, everyday language comparisons of relevant products. This feature helps users make confident purchasing decisions faster.

Global Expansion Plans

The Perplexity Shopping experience is currently available to U.S. users but will soon expand to new markets, bringing its innovative features and seamless shopping experience to a broader audience.

Perplexity Merchant Program

To enhance its shopping capabilities, Perplexity has launched the Perplexity Merchant Program, allowing retailers to share product details directly with the platform. This initiative benefits both merchants and users by ensuring access to accurate, live product information. Key features of the program include:

• Increased chances of becoming a recommended product through enhanced indexing and quality assessments.
• Integration with Buy with Pro for streamlined payment processes.
• Free API access for merchants to build their own Perplexity-powered search tools.
• A custom dashboard offering insights into shopping trends and product performance.

Why It Matters

With features like Buy with Pro, Snap to Shop, and tailored recommendations, Perplexity Shopping sets itself apart by combining convenience and reliability in an AI-powered commerce tool. For users, this means a more intuitive shopping experience, and for merchants, it provides a platform to reach engaged, high-intent shoppers.
