OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet so its dots agents can complete purchases

See how this story connects

Source: TechCrunchAlso reported by OpenAI, CNBC, CNA, The Next Web, Unite.AI

OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet on 13 November 2026, letting its agents, called dots, help users choose what to buy and then complete the purchase for them. At launch it is open to a limited number of US ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and over with a US-issued Visa, Mastercard or American Express card. Users review the items, the total and the card before checkout and approve each purchase with a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint. The wallet charges the card through a payment token, so the card details are not shared with the dot or the merchant. OpenAI said it plans to let users set spending limits and pre-approve purchases by category or time period, and it published a Commerce Partner Playbook for retailers that want to support shopping agents.

Why it matters

An AI agent can now pay for goods on a user’s behalf inside ChatGPT, with each purchase approved by the user and paid through a tokenised card.
