Shopping cards and checkout
Shopping results can appear as product cards with photos, ratings, prices, store names, and up to two badges, such as "Top rated." A carousel shows three or four results, and you can swipe through product photos. (Grok Bot changelog)
On a product page, in-stock options appear first and options unavailable from any store are disabled. Selecting Buy now starts an order for you to approve. After you place an order, the Bot can track it and tell you when it ships or arrives; shipment cards show the carrier and stage. (Grok Bot changelog)
The Vault guide says a card saved in Vault fills in at checkout without asking you each time, and no setting requires your approval for each use. It does not specify how that saved-card flow applies to product-card orders. (Vault and secure sign-in)
Shop Pay in the Vault
You can connect Shop Pay in the Vault's Payments tab, then choose it under Pay with or make it the payment method Bots use first. (Grok Bot changelog)
Subscription templates

- Try it, don't pay for it starts a free trial and cancels it, or reminds you, before it bills.
- Find unused subscriptions can cancel plans you choose from subscriptions you still pay for.
