General Information
Why use Shop Like a Pro?
Comprehensive research: Perplexity analyzes product reviews across multiple sites and filters for the best products, so you can make an informed decision before buying anything.
Increased productivity: save time by researching and purchasing items directly on Perplexity in one click instead of navigating to the merchant site and filling out your details.
Free shipping: for a short period only, Perplexity will cover shipping costs, so you only pay for the item you actually want to buy.
How does Shop Like a Pro work?
Sign up for a Perplexity Pro subscription. Perplexity Pro offers access to all the leading-edge models like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 in one app, uses advanced multi-step reasoning capabilities, and gives you access to Shop Like a Pro.
Search for a product and Perplexity will respond with 3-5 product cards containing the information you need to make a decision.
Click ‘Buy With Pro’ and fill out your details. We’ll save these on file, so you only need to do this once!
What is the difference between ‘Buy With Shop Pay’ and ‘Buy With Pro’?
‘Buy With Pro’ is a native Perplexity checkout experience that allows you to buy a variety of e-commerce products with one-click checkout. Buy with Pro is currently only available to Perplexity Pro subscribers in the US. If Buy with Pro isn’t available, we will refer the user to the merchant website to checkout. For merchants (like Shopify) who have granted us access to their APIs, we can offer distinct checkout experiences like “Buy with ShopPay.”
Why are some products eligible for Buy with Pro?
We can only support Buy with Pro with merchants who are compatible with our agent checkout experience. We are working to expand the library of eligible products offered through Buy with Pro, but to start, we support the categories we believe will be the most popular with shoppers.
How do you decide which products to recommend when a user asks a question?
Just as our answer engine ranks sources based on authority and relevance, we rank product listings using similar criteria. We surface product cards that are tailored to the user’s query, which means that the more specific you can be in a query, the more relevant of results we can surface for you.
Merchants who give us access to more product details like availability, reviews, and specs will be more likely to be recommended by our answer engine. If you are a retailer interested in joining merchant program, please fill out this form to receive additional information.
Are product listings sponsored?
No, all product listings are determined by our algorithm based on relevance and ratings. Advertisers cannot pay to list their products in our “related products” section, since one of our core principles is that advertising should have no influence over organic results. However, advertisers can ask a sponsored question where their product is included in an answer.
