OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Wallet for user-approved agent payments
Original title: Introducing ChatGPT Wallet
US ChatGPT Pro users approve each charge with a biometric check, and networks issue a token instead of the real card number.
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet so an agent can pay after the user reviews the items, total and selected card and passes a check such as Face ID or a fingerprint scan. The payment network then supplies a token, so the agent and merchant do not receive the actual card details. It starts with American Express, Mastercard and Visa for ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the US. OpenAI also published a Commerce Partner Playbook for sites that may block agent purchases.
Unconfirmed: OpenAI expects users may later pre-approve delegated purchases; that capability is not available now.
- Users add a card once and approve each purchase without re-entering payment details.
- Eligible card rewards and dispute protections remain with the selected card.
- OpenAI says 1.2 billion people use ChatGPT each week.
- Full delegation with spending limits is described as a later expectation, not a current feature.
- Businesses can claim a listing in ChatGPT and upload a product feed.
