window-shoppers

Nonbuying store gazers

Window-shoppers are people who browse store displays without intending to buy.

The term captures the activity of looking at merchandise through windows or wandering through shops for entertainment rather than purchase: The mall was full of window-shoppers killing time.

The word often implies lack of serious intent, extending beyond retail to anyone who looks without committing.
