OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet, letting AI agents shop and check out for US Pro users
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet, a feature allowing its "dots" AI agents to help users decide what to buy and complete purchases on their behalf. The rollout is initially limited to a small number of US ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and older with eligible US-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express cards. Users review items, totals, and the card before checkout and approve each purchase via biometric checks such as Face ID or a fingerprint. Payments use tokenized card substitutes, keeping card details from both the agent and merchant while preserving rewards and dispute protections. The wallet was built with American Express, Mastercard, and Visa, and OpenAI published merchant guidance, though some retailers including Amazon, eBay, and United Airlines are blocking AI agents.

OpenAI's dots agents can buy via ChatGPT Wallet with biometric approval per purchase
OpenAI's dots agents can now make purchases for users through ChatGPT Wallet, requiring biometric approval for each transaction. Users save a debit or credit card once, and the agent pays with a token that replaces the real card number, keeping card details from both merchants and the agent while preserving cardholder rewards and protections. American Express, Mastercard and Visa built the system with OpenAI, which also released merchant guidance. Access starts narrow, limited to US Pro subscribers aged 18 or older with eligible US-issued cards. OpenAI plans to later let users delegate purchases entirely by setting spending limits and categories. Merchants could stall that shift, as OpenAI warns some sites and fraud systems may block agent purchases; United Airlines began blocking agents on Wednesday, joining Amazon and eBay. The wallet's reach will depend on merchants allowlisting OpenAI's agents and teaching fraud systems to accept legitimate bot purchases.

OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet for AI agent shopping and checkout
OpenAI on Friday launched a new ChatGPT Wallet feature that lets its AI agents, called dots, help users decide what to buy and complete purchases on their behalf. The option is initially limited to a small number of U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and up with a U.S.-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express card. OpenAI says users remain in control: they can review items, totals, and the payment card before checkout, and must approve purchases via a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint. Payments use a tokenized card substitute so actual card details are not shared with the dot or merchant, and users can still earn card rewards and dispute transactions. The limited rollout will let OpenAI test and improve the feature before broader release; future plans include spending limits and purchase-category or time-period controls, plus support at more retailers. OpenAI also published a Commerce Partner Playbook to help retailers adapt to agentic commerce, though some retailers, including Amazon, are blocking AI agents.
