ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, has teamed up with PayPal to enable easy payments for product recommendations made by the AI tool.
According to CNBC, PayPal has signed a contract with OpenAI to integrate its digital wallet into ChatGPT, allowing users to pay for discovered products directly within the chat.
OpenAI aims to turn ChatGPT into an e-commerce platform, leveraging approximately 700 million weekly active users as a "personal shopper" service.
Previously, OpenAI announced Instant Checkout integrations with Walmart, Shopify, and Etsy in the US, further expanding its e-commerce capabilities.
PayPal seeks to position itself alongside leading AI providers, including Google and Perplexity, through this partnership.
