The move means that shopping lists made via Google Assistant will no longer be saved on Google Keep, and will instead port over to the Google Home or Google Express apps.
The move aims to consolidate your shopping-related voice commands to one place, and sets Express up to more widely offer order and delivery functionality via the Home.
Google added this functionality earlier this year, with more than 50 Google Express retail partners, including Costco, Staples, Walgreens, and of course, the Google Store.
Typically, Google Express requires a membership fee or per-delivery charge, but it is waiving those costs until April 30th for purchases made through the Home.
