Google’s New Shopping Features Can Help You Snag Good Deals

Google’s rolling out a handful of new shopping features that should make it easier to find good deals directly from search. When you search for a product, Google will now surface results with coupon codes that you can copy and paste during checkout. From a report: Any products with a coupon available will have a new “Special Offer” badge in the top-left corner of their thumbnail. Google previously only labeled products when they were on sale or when their price dropped, but this new badge makes it more obvious when coupons are available. The search giant’s launching this feature on desktop and mobile within the “coming weeks.”

In addition to adding clippable coupons to Google search, Google’s introducing a way to compare deals side by side on mobile starting later this month. Instead of showing you a mishmash of products when you search for an item, it’ll start grouping any products on sale in a “deals” category that you can expand and browse directly in your search results. It’s also bringing price insights, which Google already offers in its Shopping tab, to search. This means you’ll start seeing relevant information about a product’s price history, such as when it was at its lowest and where, when browsing through results.
