00:00ChatGPT is getting a pay with PayPal button.
00:04Your friendly neighborhood chatbot is turning into a personal shopper, and PayPal is along
00:08for the ride.
00:10PayPal announced that starting sometime in 2026, you'll be able to check out directly
00:13through ChatGPT using your PayPal wallet.
00:17The integration will look familiar, the same payment options, shipping info, and that comforting
00:21blue pay with PayPal button.
00:24The update builds on OpenAI's growing ambitions to turn ChatGPT from a talking encyclopedia
00:29into a full-fledged shopping assistant.
00:33Last month, OpenAI launched Instant Checkout and a Buy Now button that initially worked
00:37with Etsy and Shopify listings.
00:40Since then, it's expanded to Walmart, and now, thanks to PayPal, checkout is about to
00:44get more universal.
00:45Here's the clever part.
00:47The Agentic Commerce Protocol automatically integrates products from businesses that support PayPal,
00:52without those businesses doing anything special.
00:54In other words, if a shop accepts PayPal, its staff might soon be just a chat away.
01:00You could literally type, find me a cozy hoodie under $50, and ChatGPT could find it, recommend
01:06it, and let you buy it, all without leaving the chat window.
01:09This partnership also hints at OpenAI's grander plan to weave commerce into its expanding ecosystem.
01:15With PayPal on board, shopping may soon span ChatGPT, OpenAI's Atlas browser, and Joni Ive-designed
01:21hardware.
01:22For users, it means fewer clicks and more impulse buys.
01:26For OpenAI, it's a fresh revenue stream, and a future where your AI assistant spends for
01:31you.
01:32So, if ChatGPT asks about two-day shipping, don't be surprised.
01:36It's not just smart, it's sales smart.
