Around 93% of queries in Google’s AI Mode now end without a single click to any external website.

The transaction is complete before the buyer ever visits your online store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here’s where zero-click purchases are already happening:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AI shopping assistants<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> – ChatGPT with instant checkout, Perplexity Shopping, and Google AI Overviews recommend and sell products inside a chat interface<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Social commerce platforms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> – Instagram Shops, TikTok Shopping, Facebook Marketplace, and Pinterest let users browse, select, and pay without leaving the app<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Voice assistants<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> – Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri handle product searches and purchases through spoken commands alone<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Google Merchant listings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> – shoppable product cards appear directly in search results, letting users compare and buy without visiting any store<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not some future concept. Over 850,000 retailers are already listed on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/risecommerce.com\/blog\/agentic-commerce-2026-ai-agents-buy-from-store\/\"><b>Agentic Commerce<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Protocol (ACP), a standard launched by OpenAI and Stripe that powers AI-driven checkout. Shopify has reported that AI-driven orders grew 15x since early 2025.
