US EditionOpenAI Partners with Etsy, Shopify on ChatGPT Payment Checkout
OpenAI's Instant Checkout enables seamless single-item purchases from U.S. merchants like Etsy with no user fees; over 700 million weekly ChatGPT users gain streamlined shopping.
- On Monday, OpenAI announced the Instant Checkout feature, allowing U.S. ChatGPT Free, Plus and Pro users to buy items directly within the chatbot interface.
- OpenAI said the launch aims to monetize ChatGPT's 700 million weekly users by charging transaction fees on completed purchases to fund AI and shift discovery from traditional search advertising.
- The system runs on the Agentic Commerce Protocol built with Stripe, processing transactions through merchants' systems and supporting single-item purchases via an in-chat 'Buy' button.
- The rollout could boost conversion by cutting cart abandonment as Etsy shares jumped 15% and Shopify stock rose 6%, giving sellers access to ChatGPT’s audience of over 700 million users.
- OpenAI plans to expand Instant Checkout to more merchants and regions, adding over one million Shopify merchants soon and supporting multi-item carts and international expansion next year.
