We will be migrating our end-to-end food ordering experience to the Redirect product in 2024.
As a result of this migration, when a user clicks the "Order" button on Google, instead of building a cart and paying on Google, they will now be able to compare ordering options from redirect providers, and link out directly to the partner's platform or merchant's website to complete the transaction. The redirect experience is live in the US, CA, AU, DE and UK.
If you have not taken action to provide Action Links for your End-to-End merchants or via a native Redirect Integration, they will no longer be served on the Order with Google experience.
If your Action Links are served from your End-to-End account, this account will remain enabled and accessible to you to manage your integration. If your Action Links are served from your native Redirect Integration, your End-to-End account will remain accessible to you, but your integration will be disabled and it will not serve on Google consumer surfaces.
To ensure a smooth transition to the redirect experience, here are key milestones and dates that should be noted.
Milestone | Description | Deadline |
Action URL Submission | Begin sending action URLs using your E2E feeds. | June 30, 2024 |
Migration to Redirect Experience | The E2E consumer experience within Google Search and Maps will start turning down.

OwG Redirect Agreement | Sign the revised Click-to-Accept Agreement and program terms before transitioning to the native redirect integration. You will receive the new agreement once you have submitted the interest form | Before beginning work on your native Redirect Integration. |
Native Redirect Integration | Partners will need to fully integrate with native Redirect + Menus. If you haven’t integrated with native Redirect feeds your food ordering integration will no longer serve on Google. | Jan 31, 2025 |
