For ChatGPT, OpenAI has introduced a new Instant Checkout option. Customers no longer need to exit the chat window to peruse goods and make purchases.
ChatGPT’s involvement in your everyday life is growing thanks to OpenAI. Users may now purchase online using ChatGPT without visiting an external website thanks to the AI company’s new Instant Checkout functionality.
In partnership with the financial company Stripe, OpenAI has developed a new Agentic Commerce Protocol. The concept enables enterprises, consumers, and AI agents to collaborate on purchases.
Users may instruct ChatGPT to do an online product search, according to OpenAI. A user may choose the item they want to buy from the results and then hit the “Buy” button. On the ChatGPT page itself, the user may then confirm the order and provide all the necessary information. However, the item they want to purchase has to be compatible with the Agentic Commerce Protocol.
Following order placement, the merchant will take care of delivery and customer service. ChatGPT serves simply as a platform for placing product orders.
OpenAI maintains that there will be no preferred listings and that product search results will be natural.
Instant Checkout is currently only available to US customers. Nevertheless, this function is available to all ChatGPT users, including free users, regardless of their plan. Products are now available for purchase from US-based vendors on the Etsy website. But according to OpenAI, Shopify will soon be able to use Instant Checkout. According to OpenAI, Shopify support will add more than a million shops.
OpenAI will expand Instant Checkout’s functionality and geographic reach
Even though Instant Checkout seems restricted for now, OpenAI has enormous intentions to make it better. You will soon be able to buy many products at once using the AI company’s multi-item carts. In the near future, OpenAI plans to extend this service to other businesses and areas.
Agentic Commerce Protocol is now open-source thanks to OpenAI. In the future, this will enable additional developers and merchants to implement Instant Checkout and utilize the protocol.
What is the cost of ChatGPT Instant Checkout?
Instant Checkout on ChatGPT will not incur any fees for users, according to OpenAI. But in order to use this service, retailers will have to pay a little charge. The business claims that there will be no effect on the product pricing.
The goal of OpenAI is to integrate ChatGPT more deeply into your everyday life. The business just released ChatGPT Pulse. Overnight, Pulse operates in the background to provide pertinent updates depending on user data. ChatGPT will become an even more comprehensive platform for daily usage with the inclusion of Instant Checkout.
