OpenAI's ChatGPT Launches Instant Checkout, Revolutionizing Online Shopping
OpenAI's ChatGPT has rolled out a new feature, Instant Checkout, allowing users to shop without leaving the platform. This innovation, a collaboration with Stripe, is set to transform online shopping by enabling seamless, AI-driven purchases.
The Instant Checkout feature, currently operational with Etsy, offers organic, non-sponsored purchase results. Users can enjoy this service for free, with merchants paying a small fee. OpenAI and Stripe are jointly developing the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), an open standard facilitating seamless shopping with AI agents. This protocol is expected to attract more merchants, with Shopify set to join soon.
OpenAI's vision extends beyond simple conversations. The ChatGPT browser and mobile device are in the works, promising shopping directly within AI conversations. The company aims to replace traditional internet search engines with ChatGPT, evolving it into a digital research assistant powered by the ACP. In this system, the merchant handles the transaction, ensuring a smooth and secure shopping experience.
