OpenAI switched on in‑chat buying for ChatGPT, starting with U.S. Etsy sellers and soon Shopify merchants, using a Stripe‑backed protocol that keeps fulfillment with merchants while OpenAI takes a small transaction fee.

What launched on September 29

OpenAI enabled in‑chat purchases in ChatGPT using a new Agentic Commerce Protocol co‑developed with Stripe. U.S.‑based Etsy sellers are available immediately, with Shopify merchants slated to join. OpenAI will collect a transaction fee on single‑item purchases, while merchants remain the merchant of record.

How Instant Checkout works

When ChatGPT recommends a product, buyers can complete checkout without leaving the conversation. Stripe’s Shared Payment Token supports secure payment across agents and processors. OpenAI says product results are organic and unsponsored, ranked by relevance, and that fulfillment, returns, and support remain with the seller.
