So, just to be clear, let's see what we finally have here.


In the future, people will do their shopping at home. They will buy things via the television, and robots will deliver products (merchandise or goods) to their homes.

Keep in mind that you can use "purchase" in place of "buy". If this is an essay or some sort of formal discourse, the verb "purchase" might work better than "buy".

They will purchase products via the television, and robots will deliver them directly to their homes.


For "buy" we also have the phrase "make a purchase".

We could say "They will make purchases via the television."

"make a purchase"
