Google tests buying from Walmart-owned Flipkart through Gemini and AI Mode in India

Some Gemini and AI Mode users in India now see a Buy button on select Flipkart products that opens Flipkart's own checkout without leaving the AI interface. That moves the assistant from recommending products to completing the sale. Google has also built the Universal Commerce Protocol, an open standard for AI agents to deal with retailers up to checkout, though it is not clear what powers this test.
