ChatGPT’s new Wallet lets AI agents shop and check out for you

OpenAI has launched a new wallet feature for ChatGPT that enables its AI agents, called dots, to help users shop and complete purchases on their behalf. Initially available to a limited number of U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and up with a U.S.-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express, the feature requires users to add payment cards to the ChatGPT Wallet once. During checkout, users review items, total, and payment card, and approve purchases via security checks like Face ID or fingerprint. Payment tokens are used to protect card details, and merchants receive necessary order information from the dot. Users still earn credit card rewards and retain card protections. OpenAI plans to expand availability, add spending controls, and support more retailers, though some like Amazon block AI agents. OpenAI also published a Commerce Partner Playbook to help retailers adapt to agentic commerce.
