shopper

Cart-pushing browser

A shopper is someone who shops—browsing or buying goods at stores or online.

The word often implies browsing rather than committed buying: Just a shopper, not a buyer.

In retail contexts, a shopper may be a person hired to evaluate customer service by posing as a customer (mystery shopper) or a free advertising circular distributed at supermarkets.
