It appears that ChatGPT will soon make it easier for users with PayPal accounts to buy and sell products and services through the platform. PayPal and OpenAI have announced a new partnership that will allow users to link their PayPal wallets directly to ChatGPT.
The integration is expected to go live in early 2026, bringing a range of benefits for both consumers and merchants. PayPal shared news of the deal in a press release published on its newsroom website earlier this week.
As part of the collaboration, PayPal will adopt the “Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP)” to connect its payment and commerce system with ChatGPT. This means that merchants utilizing ChatGPT to sell their goods or services will gain access to PayPal’s extensive merchant network.
Small businesses and brands will be able to conduct transactional business directly within the ChatGPT platform, creating a seamless commerce experience for users. According to PayPal President and CEO Alex Chriss, this partnership represents a significant opportunity to expand PayPal’s merchant and commerce markets into a vibrant and active ecosystem.
