OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet for agent purchases
Start here
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet, which lets agents in ChatGPT Work, Codex and dots complete purchases with the user's approval. It is initially available to a limited number of U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and up who hold a U.S.-issued Visa, Mastercard or American Express card. Users review the item, total and card, then approve checkout with a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint, which creates a transaction record. Payments use a token instead of real card details, so card information is not shared with the agent or the merchant; OpenAI says existing card rewards and dispute protections still apply. OpenAI also published a Commerce Partner Playbook and says it plans to let users set spending limits or pre-approve purchases by category or time period, and to expand agentic shopping to more retailers. Adoption may be uneven: retailers such as Amazon block AI agents from their sites.

OpenAI launched a ChatGPT Wallet feature that lets its agents, called dots, help users decide what to buy and complete the purchase on their behalf. It is initially limited to U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and up with a U.S.-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express, and users review items, total, and card and approve with Face ID or a fingerprint before checkout. Payments use a token in place of real card details, so the information is not shared with the dot or the merchant, and OpenAI says card rewards and dispute protections still apply. OpenAI also published a Commerce Partner Playbook, while retailers such as Amazon block AI agents from their sites.
