ChatGPT shopping
Also known as: ChatGPT commerce
OpenAI's commerce surface inside ChatGPT — product cards in the answer carousel + Instant Checkout via ACP.
ChatGPT shopping refers to the commerce capabilities inside OpenAI's ChatGPT app and website. When a shopper asks a transactional question, ChatGPT's model classifies the intent as commercial and routes the query to a shopping subsystem, which returns 3-5 product cards beneath the answer text.
For brands, "winning at ChatGPT shopping" involves five discovery signals (feed structure, semantic content quality, canonicalization, integration coverage, price/availability accuracy) and four close-the-loop signals (ACP-native checkout, shipping/returns clarity, merchant of record clarity, tokenizable payment instrument). See our complete playbook for the 90-day sequence.
ChatGPT has an estimated 800M+ weekly active users as of 2025; commerce is a growing fraction of that usage. Adobe measured 4,700% YoY growth in AI-referred traffic through 2025 — a large portion of which is ChatGPT.
