OpenAI’s Dots agents can now check out with ChatGPT Wallet

OpenAI’s new wallet, open first to US ChatGPT Pro subscribers, lets its agents complete a purchase once you approve it with Face ID or a fingerprint.

OpenAI’s shopping agents can now pay for what they find. OpenAI switched on ChatGPT Wallet on Friday 13 November 2026, and the Dots agents can now finish a purchase themselves, TechCrunch reports. To use it you need a ChatGPT Pro plan, a US billing address and an eligible US card from Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Chase, and you must be at least 18, according to The Verge.

Every purchase waits for your Face ID or fingerprint, and the screen you approve lists the card, the items and the total. The card itself is saved in the wallet a single time. At checkout the card network swaps your card number for a payment token, a stand-in number with its own security code, so neither the agent nor the shop sees the real one, The Decoder explains. OpenAI says products can come from a merchant’s feed, an API or an ordinary web search, and that the agent pays either through a cart plugin or on the shop’s existing site.

This is OpenAI’s second attempt at buying inside ChatGPT. It dropped Instant Checkout, its first one, as too inflexible, The Decoder adds. Our guide to ads in ChatGPT and Claude covers the paid side of the same assistant.

Our ChatGPT row has no US price for Pro, because OpenAI’s pricing page shows amounts by region, and it lists Pro with a choice of three usage tiers. The only plan card there that mentions ads is Go’s, which says the plan may include them (cards read 31 October 2026, our prices).

Wallet’s first buyers all pay for Pro, so a shop that keeps its product feed and checkout open to agents can sell to them from launch day.
