ChatGPT teams up with PayPal to make it easier for you to buy stuff in chat

ChatGPT Partners with PayPal for Seamless Payments

ChatGPT users will soon be able to utilize PayPal to purchase product recommendations made by the AI tool, thanks to a recent contract between PayPal and OpenAI.

This integration will enable users to easily pay for discovered products and allow merchants to list and sell their goods directly within ChatGPT.

OpenAI is taking a significant step towards transforming ChatGPT into an e-commerce platform, leveraging its approximately 700 million weekly active users as a "personal shopper" service.

Previously, OpenAI announced plans to enable payments via Walmart, Shopify, and Etsy in the US through Instant Checkout.

Meanwhile, PayPal aims to position itself alongside leading AI providers, including Google and Perplexity.
