ChatGPT’s new Wallet lets AI agents shop and check out for you
Every purchase requires a review and security approval; autonomous spending limits are still planned.
The rollout is limited to selected U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 or older with an eligible U.S.-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Users review the items, total, and selected card before approving checkout with a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint. Wallet uses a payment token so the agent and merchant do not receive the actual card details, while card rewards and dispute protections remain available. OpenAI plans to add spending limits and purchase rules that would let users pre-approve more autonomous transactions.
