Called “Buy Direct,” the third-party marketplace is being integrated into Bing’s existing ecommerce experience, Start Shopping, where consumers can find products and are then directed to a retailer’s website to make the purchase. Buy Direct will allow shoppers to complete their purchases directly in Bing.

“This is a new product experience that we recently launched with limited sellers to our customers in the U.S,” a Bing spokesperson told Search Engine Land. “We’ll continue to listen to feedback as we explore new ways to serve our customers.”
