“You’ve been looking for the perfect pair of hiking boots online, but haven’t gotten around to pulling the trigger. Starting today, if you’re out and about and near a store that carries those boots, you might see a Google Now card showing you the product and price to remind you that you wanted them,” Google explained in a Google+ post.
We are not sure how exactly is the search giant getting inventory details for the respective stores but it is probably a result of a tie-up and Google will probably be getting money or some other incentive from these stores for referring shoppers to them.
This new feature is most probably US-only right now but we can expect expansion to markets like UK, Canada, Australia and more over the coming months.
