As artificial intelligence reshapes industries across the board, Perplexity is setting a new standard for online retail with the launch of Perplexity Shopping—an AI-powered, all-in-one shopping experience that combines advanced research, intuitive discovery, and seamless purchasing in a single platform. Positioned to compete with retail giants like Amazon and Google Shopping, Perplexity Shopping empowers consumers with tools that are intelligent, fast, and user-centric.

Intelligent Product Discovery, Simplified

At the core of Perplexity Shopping is a robust AI engine designed to reduce the friction in product research. Instead of toggling between multiple tabs and reading dozens of reviews, users receive concise, relevant insights tailored to their queries:

  • Aggregated Reviews & Objective Summaries: The platform synthesizes product reviews from across the web and presents them in plain, everyday language, helping users make informed decisions without information overload.
  • Smart Product Cards: Each product card surfaces specifications, pricing, and retailer data—paired with unbiased AI-generated pros and cons—offering clarity at a glance.
  • Tailored Recommendations: The system curates product suggestions based on context, intent, and user preferences, optimizing the shopping journey from the start.

Conversational & Visual Search That Understands You

Consumers no longer need to use perfect search terms to find what they need. With Conversational Search, users can describe what they’re looking for using natural language—for example, “cute pink shoes for a ski trip”—and Perplexity interprets the intent to return curated results.

Additionally, Snap to Shop enhances discovery by enabling visual inputs: users can upload an image of a product, and the platform instantly finds comparable items from trusted merchants.

Seamless Transactions with “Buy with Pro”

For U.S.-based Perplexity Pro subscribers, the platform offers an end-to-end shopping experience:

  • One-Click Checkout: After saving billing and shipping information once, users can purchase products directly on the platform without redirection.
  • Free Shipping Incentive: Orders placed through “Buy with Pro” qualify for free shipping, available for a limited time.
  • Integrated Purchase Tracking: Users can monitor order status—from purchase to delivery—within the same interface they used to discover the product.

This level of integration mirrors the efficiency of leading marketplaces while eliminating the typical friction points of online shopping.

SaaS tools are packed with automation features. Think of it as your personal assistant, handling repetitive tasks like sending emails, generating reports, or scheduling meetings. By automating, you free up your team to focus on higher-value tasks.
