## Key points

- ChatGPT agents can shop using tokenised card details.
- The US rollout requires approval for every purchase.
- Spending limits are planned but not yet available.

## Summary

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Wallet, allowing its AI assistants to buy products from online shops using customers’ existing Visa, Mastercard or American Express cards. The service uses substitute payment details instead of exposing card numbers, and keeps payments within familiar card networks, making it a consumer-focused alternative to crypto-based agent wallets.

The initial rollout is for US ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 or over with eligible US-issued cards, and each purchase needs user approval. After the customer reviews an order and verifies it, the card network creates a token that the agent submits through the shop’s existing checkout. OpenAI plans to add spending limits for future purchases, but has not given a release date; merchants may block agents, and users generally need to contact their card issuer about billing disputes.
