Is Google's Universal Cart only for B2C and ecommerce?

No. While the initial examples are ecommerce-focused, the underlying 'Universal Commerce Protocol' is designed to handle any standardised transaction. For B2B organisations, this will likely include high-intent actions like 'Request a Demo', 'Download a Report', or 'Book a Meeting' directly from Google's interface.

How will a Universal Cart affect our HubSpot forms?

It has the potential to bypass your HubSpot forms entirely for certain conversions. Prospects may be able to submit a request using their Google profile data directly from search results. This means you would receive the lead data via an integration, likely losing the rich, custom information you currently collect on your forms for qualification and routing.

What is the single most important thing I should do to prepare?

The first and most critical step is to conduct a thorough audit of your lead data model and management processes within HubSpot. Ensure your data is clean, de-duplicated, and that your workflows are robust enough to enrich and route a lead that arrives with minimal initial information. Your system must be able to function without relying on rich data from a web form.
