"PayPal announced today that you'll be able to use its wallet to make purchases directly through ChatGPT beginning sometime in 2026. The recently added Instant Checkout feature in ChatGPT will have an option to pay with PayPal, using the same interface you already see when checking out with PayPal through other services. You'll have access to all of your usual payment methods in your PayPal account and an overview of your shipping and contact info."
"The partnership comes just a month after OpenAI added a "Buy Now" button in ChatGPT and rolled out its Instant Checkout feature, which was initially only available on Etsy and Shopify, but has since expanded to Walmart. Using OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol doesn't just simplify things for buyers; it also automatically plugs products from businesses that support PayPal as an option into ChatGPT's e-commerce setup without requiring them to sign up individually."
PayPal will let users pay through ChatGPT's Instant Checkout beginning sometime in 2026. The Instant Checkout option will use PayPal's familiar interface and provide access to all PayPal payment methods plus shipping and contact information. The integration follows OpenAI's recent rollout of a "Buy Now" button and Instant Checkout expansion from Etsy and Shopify to Walmart. OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol will automatically surface products from businesses that support PayPal into ChatGPT's e-commerce flows without separate merchant sign-ups. The integration expands purchasing options across OpenAI's ecosystem and could enable AI personal shoppers and new revenue streams.
