ChatGPT now lets you buy products directly in chat. Powered by the new open Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) built with Stripe, Instant Checkout connects you with merchants like Etsy (and soon Shopify) to turn product discovery into a seamless purchase.
This is the most practical commercial loop for the AI era, and OpenAI is actively exploring it. Subscriptions were the first proven business model, but transactions—paying for the delivery of a real product—are the key to unlocking the next level of commercial value for AI.
With Instant Checkout in ChatGPT, you can now go from asking for product recommendations to actually buying the item, right inside the conversation. All powered by a new open standard they built with Stripe, the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), and it's launching with Etsy, with over a million Shopify merchants coming soon.
ChatGPT is already a massive app with 700 million weekly active users. Now, it's looking to become an even deeper part of your daily life.

Considering so many people already use ChatGPT to compare products before buying, adding instant checkout feels like a smart next step
This is so cool. I have written to the CEOs of the companies I collaborate with to consider listing the product. Is it also possible to list software (app)?
