OpenAI announced: “More than 700 million people turn to ChatGPT each week for help with everyday tasks, including finding products they love. Starting today, we’re taking the first steps toward ChatGPT helping people buy them too -beginning with Instant Checkout, powered by the Agentic Commerce Protocol, built with Stripe. U.S. ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Free users can now buy directly from U.S. Etsy (ETSY) sellers right in chat, with over a million Shopify (SHOP) merchants, like Glossier, SKIMS, Spanx and Vuori, coming soon. Today, Instant Checkout supports single-item purchases. Next, we’ll add multi-item carts and expand merchants and regions. We’re also open-sourcing(opens in a new window) the technology that powers Instant Checkout, the Agentic Commerce Protocol, so that more merchants and developers can begin building their integrations.”
