Merchants and developers who want Instant Checkout, you can get started today: Tobi Lutke / @tobi : Shopify merchants will be able to sell directly in ChatGPT. We've been working with @OpenAI for quite some time so people can search and buy products in chat, and it's something we've had a hard time keeping quiet. Rollout is coming very very soon. [video] Patrick Collison / @patrickc : We have three cool announcements today: (1) @OpenAI is launching commerce in ChatGPT. Their new Instant Checkout is powered by @stripe. (2) We're releasing the Agentic Commerce Protocol, codeveloped by Stripe and OpenAI. (3) @stripe is launching an API for agentic payments, Eric Seufert / @eric_seufert : OpenAI's integration with Stripe isn't “agentic commerce”: it's in-product checkout, similar to the native checkout experience that Meta recently eliminated because it was unpopular with users and didn't improve Meta's ability to collect conversion data. [image] @linusekenstam : To everyone thinking OpenAI is running for ads... Who would have thought ChatGPT would disrupt Search, Amazon and Intellect? Native shopping here we go.

Sheel Mohnot / @pitdesi : This is great. 1) You're not supposed to ask “what if Stripe does this?” but after meeting 10+ agentic payments companies I never heard a good answer. 2) Closing the loop on ad attribution will be huge. Christian Catalini / @ccatalini : Bazaar vs cathedral, but for payments: x402 (open) vs Stripe (closed). Permissionless composability or curated reliability? https://x.com/... Nick Turley / @nickaturley : More than 700M people turn to ChatGPT each week to get help with everyday tasks. Starting today, U.S. users can also buy directly through chat.

First up: @Etsy sellers John Collison / @collision : We're working with @OpenAI to offer native purchases directly in ChatGPT. It's really cool, and feels like a template for where much commerce will go: @shopify : the next time someone asks ChatGPT: “i'm looking for trail running shirts” “what's the best luggage under $300?” “recommend comfy slip-on shoes” your product could be the answer @0xdesigner : this is an amazing unlock. buy anything directly from chatgpt. but it only gets better with stables on crypto rails. why? because it lets you achieve this UX from ANY AI app. not just in chatgpt. is this making sense yet???
