OpenAI's ChatGPT has teamed up with PayPal to enable users to purchase products directly within the chat platform.
According to CNBC, PayPal has signed a contract with OpenAI to integrate its digital wallet into ChatGPT, allowing users to easily pay for product recommendations made by the AI tool.
OpenAI is taking a big step towards turning ChatGPT into an e-commerce platform, hoping to utilize its approximately 700 million weekly active users as a kind of “personal shopper”.
PayPal aims to position itself alongside leading AI providers, including Google and Perplexity, while OpenAI has previously announced payments via Walmart, Shopify, and Etsy in the US via Instant Checkout.
