Google Home Express shopping: How does it work?

  • To buy an item, like paper towels, just say “OK Google, buy paper towels.” If you don’t specify a store, results will based on your Google Express order history or from other participating stores that carry the item. To buy an item, like paper towels, from a specific participating store, such as Costco, say “OK Google, buy paper towels from Costco” or “Purchase paper towels from Costco” or “Order paper towels from Costco”. For now you can order things that cost between $3.99 and more than $100 pre-tax. Right now, you cannot buy fresh produce, perishables, most clothing and accessory items, and furniture. The price you hear includes tax, which is determined by the location of the store. You may be given a few suggestions. When you hear one you like, answer “Yes” to place the order. If you answer “No,” you’ll get another suggestion. If you say “No” a second time, you’ll find the item on your shopping list in the Google Home app. Your Google Home shopping list is saved in your Google Keep account. It is separate from a Google Express shopping list.  If you have questions about your order or need help, contact the Google Home Express support specialists.
