VTEX
In short
VTEX published a checklist on 29 October 2026 for getting a store ready for Google's UCP checkout: catalogue, Google feed, shipping rules and Merchant Center. It argues that the same preparation improves Google Shopping results and that agents are changing back-office category management before checkout. It announces no general availability of UCP checkout on VTEX stores.
